I would like to say that my current depression concerning life stuff in general is from my lack of sleep (4.5 hours), but psych class says that that's probably me rationalizing my actions. woo. Psych exam thursday, lots of studying for it to do. Didn't get nearly enough stuff done last night and so I now have a SHITLOAD to do. over my two or three busiest days. Notes and homework and extra problems for math and physics; notes on EVERYTHING for psych and major review and practice; lab prep, REU applications, medieval studies reading, notes, and an essay due tomorrow. Prep work for a presentation next week and the big term papers and prosentations less than two months from now. So I go to talk to my honors advisor today and she basically tells me I can't take any of my classes for pass/fail, and good luck getting medieval studies to be the writing intensive II requirement. Which said luck I think I might have, yeah. And she also tells me I should drop a course. I am taking courses that not only I am highly interested in but also courses that count for my degree, and let me graduate. I need medieval studies as the humanities honors course and comm b that it is; I need psych as the social science course and honors credit that it is; I need physics for the major and math to show that I don't utterly fail at linear algebra (damn, I need an A in that course); and I need lab for the physics major; and I need URS to pay for the conference that I'm going to. AND I need to work and work hard so that Peter the tall doesn't think I'm a total utter loser for failing at working in a lab. Besides which, I enjoy work. What I DON'T need is webcomics right now. Bad idea to get myself sucked into reading them incessantly. And I don't need tutoring--a good 6-9 hours a week of that. I don't need sci-fi club, although since we are watching firefly I might not be able to resist (only 2.5 hours a week! come on!). I also, sadly, don't need family or friends right now. T.T I hate the way that sounds, and I don't mean it. I do need them of course. but so much stuff to do; I simply cannot afford to be kidnapped and spend 36+ hours on the weekend with my family, and 6+ hours friday night with my friends. I KNOW I can do all this work and get everything I need from these courses (even without pass/fail). I just have to crack down hard and do it. In fact the only class I can afford to drop is lab. Maybe I'll drop that? Or Medieval studies. I have... 6 humanities credits already, so I don't need humanities (not as badly as I need social science); though the honors credit is tempting. and comm-b... if I could get it to count for comm-b The truth is that I no longer find the class remotely interesting. lectures are a list of people in history, hardly any events and happenings. Blah said this about women in this year, Fwee said that about women based on Blah's opinions in this area, etc, etc. Some of the readings are sort of interesting and I would like to write the term paper on power of woman in Eden, sort of thing... but.... .... ... I don't know. I have no time to sleep or eat or breathe or do anything right now (except, apparently, blog -.- doh) |

Stories I'm currently working on. | |

***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited) ***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel) ***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage) ***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit) ***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series) ***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly) ***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys) ***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting) ***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang) ***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!) | |

Sometimes, all you have to do is prioritize - I know this is a huge problem for me, particularly when it comes to the Internet. Sometimes you just have to leave it shut. Tape a note to your laptop with a list of all of the things you have to do to force yourself to think twice before opening it to read web comics.
Fear the power of your own incessant nagging, ;D

Another idea would be to unplug the Internet, that way you can't read webcomics....
Or take study materials to another study room or to the library, it also prevents that sort of thing. My favorite is the silent area at College Library. It's kind of creepy and it feels like you're going to get yelled at if you breathe too loud BUT I have discovered it is impossible to procrastinate there. :/
I went to see an honors advisor today too! I have decided that I'm probably just going to go for 'honors in the major' and hope that I manage good enough grades in those classes instead of doing the 'honors in the liberal arts' thing since it means NOT having to take the crazy amount of H classes.
It'll be ok though! Even if it seems crazy right now it will get better!
