In this, The Semester That Seemingly Will Never End Except That It's Already March 6th And How Did That Happen, I find myself working a lot more than I have in past semesters, but worse, I'm working a LOT less efficiently.
This means little sleep, missed deadlines on occasion and, honestly, a complete lack of desire to actually accomplish the things I'm doing.
I'm still not recovered from the marathoning required for the paper from last week and yet, I got five hours of sleep last night because I had to wake up and work on my agenda for my presentation for that very same class, which is this Thursday. I'm seeing the prof today and we're going over my agenda together. And, you know, I'm not anywhere close to "done", although it ought to be fairly easy to piece together.
Sigh.
In retrospect, I need to spend less time bitching and more time working.
Anyone have any advice on how to just sit down and DO IT? Honestly. I feel like I've developed ADHD, which is stupid, because I am capable of sitting quietly for hours at a time, focused on one thing (reading, watching TV, watching a movie, writing, etc). It's just school crap. I feel like I can't force myself to do it anymore.
This LJ is proof.
Anyways, back to my agenda. It should be interesting, actually, since my reading is called "Secular Defilement", and is a really interesting reading on the concept of dirt and purity in various societies, and how these are actually separate concepts from the hygiene-based decisions we make. For instance, food is not dirty. But an empty glass in your bedroom is considered "dirty". And your shoes? Not dirty, in that you'll put them on your feet and stuff. But if they're on the dining room table? That's dirty.
Like I said, interesting. So why am I having so much trouble just outlining my presentation? <sigh>
