Holy crap, you've got to write a paper

Sitting down to start a paper may appear to be the hardest part, but you're wrong. It's just the beginning of many very separate too-hard moments which will begin to spiral out of control now that you are seated.

Take now, for instance: I have only just managed to extricate myself from bed, where I was reading blissfully, so that I can sit in front of this here screen in preparation to start. Small pat on the back for getting that far. However, I just opened my research notes, and realized that I was going to have to reformat them before handing them in. That's when I opened a game of solitaire.

I'm pretty much promising you that as soon as I've written half a page, I'll find something that I'll need to verify. Do you know what's just too hard right now? Search engines. I'm going to read a blog instead.

Basically, at two in the morning when I only have eight hours left before hand-in, the fear will strike and all of a sudden my too-hard basket will magically empty. Then I'll write like a bat out of hell and eventually fall asleep on the "a" key when I'm 7/8ths done.

I'll wake up at approximately ten to seven, giving me just enough time to have some caffeine, scrawl some crap to fill in the gaps, delete seven pages of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, print it off and race to Uni.

Then I'll congratulate myself for getting it done "so quickly". What a douche.
