Procrastination

[irisheyes86]

It's a talent.  Right now, I should be reading my American Lit and finishing my Capstone (almost done!), but instead I'm blogging, lol.

So really, all I want to know is, how is everyone out there?  I feel so disconnected from all of you! ;p

It's our Erika! *waves* I'm sure you've used that title before. You were probably procrastinating ;p

Cheers for asking. I'm just enjoying my much-needed week off from school *collapses* I'm still feeling knackered, as you can tell lol. Still need to pick a uni and find a job...Do you know anywhere that will take on kids with extremely awkward schedules to work around? Because I can't. If I don't pay my keep, I'll have to move in with E :D

Hope you finish your Capstone soon!!

Well, procrastination is my middle name... You thought it was "Marie," you say? You were wrong. But it's okay' I can see why you would be misled by my birth certificate....

So I'm NEARLY finished with my Capstone, but of course writer's block just had to set in...WHILE I'M ON THE LAST F*CKING PAGE!!!! Erika Procrastination Sparby is not amused. >:(

You think I'm kidding? I actually stood up and danced! My roommate loved it. ;p

Good luck with that capstone paper! I know it’s been a real headache. But, you’ll bang out a brilliant piece of work, no problem, despite your computer snafu (though it is frustrating when you lose a whole bunch of work because your computer crashes or a file is deleted). But, don’t sweat it! All the main concepts (a nutshell outline of the insights and revelations you want to cover) are still in your brain, even if the exact wording is not. If nothing else, having to rewrite or recreate a few pages will help you tighten and hone the focus of your paper. (Trying to look on the bright side).

I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been bed-ridden with severe tonsillitis all week long and haven’t been online much. Tomorrow, I’ll find out whether I need a tonsillectomy (My primary care physician thinks so, but we’ll see what my ENT has to say). I just wanted to drop you a line because I haven’t written to you in awhile.

Take care,

Jessica

Oh no! That's terrible to hear about your tonsillitis! I hope it hasn't interfered too much with your graduate studies. Good luck with everything; I know how hard it is to balance illness and homework, but I've never had the displeasure of being forced to be bedridden. :( Sad faces. :(

I finished the Capstone late last night (technically early this morning, but who's counting?); I just have a few rough patches to iron out. Take care!!

Yay! *applauding* You’re finally done with that capstone paper! I’m sure you did a wonderful job on it and never want to look at it again for as long as you live (that’s how I am when I finish writing a major academic paper or article,lol). Grad school is all about being able to pound out analytical papers on demand, so - if nothing else, the pressure-writing is good practice. Just watch for ulcers, though. lol. Kidding
