DAAAAAAAAMN it
 

I'm not feeling well. And I've anxiety. A paper due on Monday and I CANNOT get it together.

I've been wearing pajamas to go to Taco Bell drivethru's for nearly all my meals and laying about on the heroin couch (it's a heroin couch coz it sucks you IN) and watching all the shows on Investigation ID.

ALL of them--no matter how repugnant.

And I'm not doing my work. I'm fairly humming with anxiety about it.

I also saw a Pulitzer prize winner yesterday. He was Arrogance Personified but did a good impression of Gee Whiz.

I'm a MESS.

That is all.

Plus - after this paper - I'm a graduate.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrgh

See if you can con yourself into starting the project. That's the hardest part.

Start with a quick outline? Three or four bullet points? Then go get something to eat.

Come back, add a few more bullets.
Do the laundry.

Start adding ideas, write a paragraph or two.
Take a nap.

Pretty soon, the ideas are coming fast and furious, and you stop wanting to do the other things...

congrats on your imminent graduation. are you throwing a kegger?

Oh doesn't that kind of anxiety just SUCK! You think you need something to take for it its so bad, some pills or something. But the fastest bestest cure is doing whatever it was you were procrastinating about. I feel for you Bri.

no doy, pie. der derrerrrr.... sarcasm....hellllooooo?

Masturbate. It will calm you down. :D

I know Lj was just talkin' about actually *throwing* a keg - like a shotput. :)

the masturbation thing...might work but I can't stop thinking about how just before I begin I reject myself as too needy.

Since you've been able to delay making any decisions about the future, and been fending off questions from others, and yourself, by using going to school as an excuse, the jig is almost up. So the problem is not the paper, the problem is what in hell you're going to do with your life after graduation.
Is that what's bothering you, bunkie? :comfort:


Well, get off that couch!
Shave those nether regions!
Write a killer paper!
Put lipstick on your nipples!
Graduate from Osama's cave!
Seduce Mr Robinson!
Show the world your big girl panties! :hearts::jig::cheerldr:

Do you need me to come down there and sort you out, missy? I apparently have most of Saturday free and I'm not entirely sure what to do with it.....

yes! write me a paper on the Good Mother as found in Stoker's Dracula.

Thanks!!

To coin a popular sporting phrase, 'JUST DO IT!'

You won't learn anything if I do it for you. I'm just going to come and slap you until writing the paper becomes a preferable option :p:

I recommend a mixture of xob and Pie ...
C'mon Bri - we know you've got it in you!

Time for the one sentence at a time story on the good mother in Stoker's Dracula. I'll start.

Dracula sat by his fire roasting the best mother he had ever eaten.

When out in the cemetery there arose such a clatter, he sprung from the grave to see what was the matter.

His dear mama's breast was all covered in blood
pre-condimented too, he thought -it's all good

Then up in the sky she saw a full moon,
Its wasn't her son, It was a big goon.

Hey, isn't that ironic.

I just finished writing a paper about that very thing. :D

Seriously!

I did!

Can you PM it to me? I have to give a seminar on the thesis submission procedure and experience and it's been so long I can't remember my own. Except the bit about living on take away.
I think Bruce is right. Study has been a identity-defining theme for you, and perhaps also a cover for avoiding other things, losing either is a big event that probably you subconsciously want to avoid. Hence the procrastination and self-sabotage.

yeah - I've defined myself as a student for so long...even when I was sick. Yikes. Big identity crisis.

You'd like me to PM you my paper? or...? The process of thesis submission? I wrote a paper proposal with an annotated bibliography - is that what you mean?

It seems like the title word to this thread gains another 'A' every time I look at it.

Bri...one really super good thing about finishing school is the absence of that stupid anxiety!

Course there will be other sources for anxiety afterward, but I do not miss that one in the least bit. Christmas Holiday and Spring Break always sucked for me.

I recommend leaving your house. The worst procrastination I have done is falling to the traps of the familier. So I play a game, troll the cellar, ect.

Leave.

Go somewhere where you can sit, think and write. A library , a coffee shop, a dinner, a hooka bar. What ever helps you think indulge in it.

For me it is a shower and caffeine, so I will take a 40 min shower and drink a few pots of coffee.( I can't write before 2AM I don't know why). This works for me and I hope you find what will work for you.

Those are the As leaching from Bri's grade because she keeps putting it off. :lol:

If I can write papers on these books:
The Book of Not
Difficult Daughters

You can write about Dracula. It's MUCH more interesting.

Those were haaaard! :p

I'm not nervous...but, okay. BRB.

Congratulations on your graduation!!

I have a paper due Monday. I don't get the benefit of graduating. Just the stress- I may be getting a B in this class if my paper for Monday isn't perfect.

Do it like me, give yourself a reward for work done. Yes people, I am that childish sometimes.....yes yes....... :) I devise rewards for things that deserve no reward....I'm just that way.

I'm all for rewarding yourself, it's the punishing yourself I can't endorse... leave that to me.

You've been naughty haven't you, yes you have you little vixen. ;)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !Congrats! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Way to go!

Yippee!!!! Party at Bri's house!

Congranulations, Bri!

I'll bring the hot male strippers... :D
