Ad Mundo Exteriore,

I don't understand. I really don't. I normally do not write so slowly, but this article is being wrenched from me, word by word, at the pace of molasses. No slower. And not sweet but painful. I mean, I get blocked but never so frequently, at least not for expository writing. Usually, once I get going it all flows out pretty smoothly.

Well, I got going on Monday, and I'm still not done. I have to finish tonight, since one of my books is recalled for return by tomorrow.

Oh, in case you didn't know what I was talking about, it's the GN article that I said I would finish by the end of Thanksgiving break. Hah.

I think it's because my mind doesn't feel enough pressure. Doesn't it realize that even if the official deadline isn't until the start of winter break I still need to finish now if I want to get my comp done soon enough for the assistant editor applications?

I do have a chance at finishing the comp at the last minute, but the chance would be even better if this first article was out of the way. Argh! I want to write up the symposium proposal tomorrow afternoon! I can't let this article drag on for much longer...where the heck are my BS skills when I need them?!

I feel just enough urgency to stay awake, but I think I still need caffeine. But

blenrock's asleep, and it's probably not a good idea to go blindly rummaging for the place where she keeps her tea packets. Self, remember to ask her in the morning if you're allowed to steal her tea on late nights. Oh, it's going to be a painful night and an even more painful morning. I know I'm going to fall asleep during classes tomorrow...

Post-script: And what's with the sudden surge of fanfic recs on my friends list? No, must resist tempation! I've already wasted too much time reading fanfic while I was supposed to be making progress on this article! ;_; Well, the fics were all funny and I haven't giggled that much since rereading Terry Pratchett.

Post-post-script: I've never, ever, ever suffered so much pressure from an extracurricular before. My extracurricular participation in high school was never this intense. And yet despite my inability to manage time effectively, I'm still running for a HRKC Executive Board position on Saturday. I must be totally insane.
