I just decided to torture myself and count up remaining pages of coursework I need to write before the end of April/beginning of May. For some of you this is nothing, but for me it’s a big deal. I have about 53 more pages to write before I can graduate. This doesn’t include all the posts that I will make to my academic blog.
At least this weekend I didn’t spend the whole time procrastinating and bemoaning how much I didn’t want to write a paper. I just sat down yesterday to complete my research and then banged out the paper today. Either I’m getting better at this or I finally realized there’s no sense in whining about something that must be done. It’s part of my learning journey…yeah that just made me a little sick too.
Speaking of banging out the paper, I woke up at 5-something this morning because the better-half leaped out of bed and then immediately got back in bed to go right back to sleep (he dreamed he smelled smoke and he can fall asleep faster than anyone I know). Me? I was startled and couldn’t go back to sleep so I got up and started writing my paper. While working on it, I watched the sun come up. The tiny sliver of the moon was really beautiful as the sun started to come over the horizon and turn the sky a deep purple. Even more beautiful is finishing the paper with enough time to enjoy the afternoon.
ha ha…. just bang it out. I think I have about 100 pages to graduate. My guesstimation, anyway. I just want to bang out the research so I can get to the writing! Git r done.
