Dissertating

[mk_tortie]

Oh, I am seriously the QUEEN of procrastination. I don't even want to type how much I still have to write before Tuesday at 4. Bloody hell.... sooner or later what I need to say will all come together in my head, and then I can make it make sense on paper, but until them I'm screwed. Summarising each section is helping though. I just always know that if I allowed more time to write essays, I could write them much better. But on the other hand, no matter how much time I allow myself, I always seem to end up procrastinating until the very last minute. So maybe I'm just incapable of writing essays in plenty of time? Blergh.

On the other hand, I got an A on one of the essays I've already had back, and an A+ on the other, and I wrote both of those overnight and at the last minute, so maybe writing stuff like that just works for me? It's definitely not good for my peace of mind though... :/ Meh.

The only chapter my supervisor really liked in its first draft form was the one banged out over about three days, in a fit o terror, and with little recourse to the library.

I find this curiously depressing.

It really is quite depressing - I think 'a fit of terror' describes my mental state when writing nearly all my essays. The problem is it works about 50% of the time and the other 50% produces something which makes no sense whatsoever!
