So while most of my classes this semester are interesting, and some are actually productive (I’m learning things), there is a lot to do. I never go over the top with essays (except in the rare case that I’m actually qualified to talk about something), but they still take a while. I guess I don’t completely half-ass my work, but I’m far below an average student. Even with this stellar work ethic, I’ve had loads of work to do that last few weeks. I’ve spent all of today working on various assignments, and I’m still not where I should be.
It doesn’t help that I’ve been recently reading articles pointing to the growing irrelevancy of college degrees. Nothing new really, it’s just starting to come from more legitimate sources. My head physically feels like it’s about to pop. I need to stop caring again.
I noticed today that my process of getting to work is really depressing. I start out thinking about the project as a whole, and my mind usually wanders to other unrelated subjects. Then I’ll just sit around and stare at my project for a while, and tell myself that I won’t do anything else until it is done (and I don’t). Once I’ve finally beaten myself into submission, I can get to work. Psh
