The end of my semester is drawing near...as is the end of my motivation.  If you've looked at the Movies postings one would think that all I did over break was watch movies.  This is not true although I will say I watched a glorious amount of movies and caught up on most of the flicks I've been interested in seeing since before summer school.  I also did a lot of school work: 1 lab report, 1 abstract, 1 power point presentation.  This is good since I had a lot to do but also not so good because I'm a little burned out.  Not the best situation to be in now that I have just one paper to finish before finals start.  I have to say I'm struggling.  Its supposed to be 15 pages long.  Its due on Friday.  I just started the research portion of the paper yesterday. I have yet to write one word.   "Isn't it Tuesday night," you ask. Yes it is and I'm in trouble.  Holy smokes!  The panic combined with the dwindling motiviation is killing me.  Paralyzed.  Its my new favorite word.  I use it all the time.  I hate to over use it but that is how I feel.  I'm paralyzed with fear and anxiety and laziness.  Somebody start praying.  I have 2 days.  Updates to come...Friday...after I turn in my paper.
