do you ever have days like these?

October 5, 2009

I feel like I've been hitting the ground running ever since I got back from the East Coast.

Except not. Because I've been procrastinating terribly and have barely waded into the pools of junior year.

Why yes, I am very much looking forward to fourth quarter when I'll be 10 feet in the deep end, which, you know, doesn't look so very bad from over here in the kiddie pool, but then I remember I am barely five feet tall. Why do you ask?

There is a reason I am not very good at swimming.

There is also a reason I am writing. It is because I have spent the past few hours compiling sources of inspiration for November (i.e. NaNoWriMo) and not doing real work like, oh I don't know, APUSH maybe. Unfortunately, being inspired to write and being inspired to write down notes are somewhat mutually exclusive.

It feels like I've skipped a day, and I haven't realized it because it does not feel like only a Monday, and I've got so much work to do, and I don't even know where it came from, and I'm staring at the pile of work on my bed, and the conversation in my head goes something like this:

Me: I've got so much work to do.
Me 1: Wait, where did it all come from, and how come there is so much of it?
Me 2: It came from days of pretending you had it all under control, silly.
Me 1: I could go for some coffee.
Me: (looks into mug)
Me 2: You finished it an hour ago, remember?
Me: ;_;

And so I've got maybe about two days' worth of instant coffee left, and 6 tests/projects/quizzes to go before this Saturday (i.e. SAT day).

Time to scour the pantry for additional sources of caffeine.

Or, you know, actually make real coffee.

(Hah.)

I DECLARE TONIGHT A MICHAEL GIACCHINO + DARIO MARIANELLI + YO-YO MA NIGHT. HURRAH.
