Not a problem. We'll do the caring for you till you are up to it.

Its perfectly reasonable and understandable to me that you can get tired fighting all the fights you've been fighting. That's why they have 'rounds' in boxing - you can't keep that up for 12 rounds without a break.

Your human - your tired. It makes sense. Hang out with us for a bit till you get your wind back. We can worry about what to do after that after then.

What Beestie said.

Hang in there Bri...you will get through this. Or I'll get mad. ;)

Bri.... my advice (free, worth every penny, etc.) is that you try very hard not to blow off the paper. Even if you feel it'll be a half-assed effort, it's better than nothing. Because, if you do blow it off, you're sacrificing at least in part your efforts for all the rest of the semester up till now.

Or, better yet, you might consider getting your psych to endorse an incomplete and/or extension for you on medical grounds.

Now, I may be wrong, but I'm guessing you're getting ready to spit nails at the very suggestion. I know you take your studies seriously, and I can tell your self-identity as a good student, not just one that shows up and slides by, is very important to you. But dammit, there are limits. If it's feasible, you'll be more satisfied in the long run if you can finish off your work in a way that doesn't compromise your expectations of yourself, rather than doing it under what looks to me like pretty severe duress. (Besides, I guarantee you legions of "spolied little bitches" have gotten those extensions with far, far less justification than you have.)

Shawnee123 06-05-2009 10:16 AM

Very good thought on the extension. Worth looking into.

Or, you might get a kick out of writing a paper that is so way out there that the prof is moved to give you a grade of "A...W T F?!" You could begin a new grading system.

phlegm is upsetting me today. that and procrastination. the web would be a much better place if i just just get my ass in gear and actually do the stuff I need to get done instead of sharing my thoughts with cyberspace.

Shawnee123 06-05-2009 10:31 AM

So, basically, anything that starts with the letter 'P'?

Oh noes, who is sponsoring Sesame Street today? :eek:

monster 06-05-2009 10:32 AM

I'll have a P please, Bob.

Shawnee123 06-05-2009 10:47 AM

Pat! PAT! Or, Vanna.

monster 06-05-2009 10:49 AM

Are you taking the P?

monster 06-05-2009 10:50 AM

payroll is the thing i'm procrastinating about, as it happens.

Shawnee123 06-05-2009 10:58 AM
