Do you ever get to the point where the doing of schoolwork actually galls you? Like, offends you for even existing? Because if it didn't, you could be watching DVDs and taking long baths and sleeping in and watching TV tonight guilt-free?

And the worst part is, this is all I have left to do: a revision portfolio and an annotated bibliography (which was actually due three weeks ago, when I had that black-eyed stomach flu, and I'm hoping that turning it in now doesn't just slay my grade. I really don't think it was that big of a deal, though). So I don't even have a lot of work to do by tomorrow noon. BUT I LOATHE WHAT I HAVE. And then I feel guilty for loathing it when it's so much lighter than my usual end-of-term load.

The tough part, really, is that I have to revise pieces that are good (as far as that goes), but have a couple of really unmanageable flaws each, and I haven't had enough distance/time to see how to fix them. Also, I despair of finding the originals with the professor's comments. They're floating around the piles of books and papers in my room... somewhere.

(Have been sneaking away to work on Black Ribbon. It's a little like having an affair. Weird.)

Just be glad you're not like the rest of the 20-somethings out here in the world....worrying about rent, etc. :) A few hours of homework sounds pretty good to me sometimes.

Annotated Bibliographies can suck it. That is the most pointless assignment ever, it's like, just read the paper and you'll see what the sources do, mmmkay?

Little assignments like that are the hardest ones to get the motivation to do, because you know they're easy so they annoy you and make you mad and maybe you chuck your Shakespeare textbook across the room and maybe since you're weak, you don't throw it very far and it hits on on the foot. Or perhaps I am just projecting.

Ooo, nice icon.

The problem with the bibliography is that the professor's all like, "I want half a page summarizing each source." He clearly KNOWS that we're citing random shit somewhat out of context, as one does, and that we don't READ the whole thing. I mean, I cited a random book of criticism! No one reads the whole book! AHHHHHH.

Yes! I'm like that right now with my AP portfolio and what not. I could be writing or drawing (for myself) or just eating ice cream while enjoying a nice Sean Bean marathon. But no, I have to PAINT. Never would I thought the words "I don't want to paint," would leave my lips. I need a break.
