Yesterday, I was supposed to be studying German, but all I felt like doing (other than procrastinating, talking on the phone) was my American history essay. Tonight, I'm trying to make myself write this 8-page paper, but my brain's still in German mode.
Boo, silly brain of mine! I'm trying to get myself into essay mode by going back over my sources. I was so fired up about this paper yesterday! Today, I'm just drawing blanks. I can't even figure out where to begin.
Maybe I should make myself some tea. That sounds like a good idea. I'll make tea, and I'll write something that will end up being a paragraph of the paper. I'm always telling others how to handle writer's block, and then when I'm in that place, I just sit here, staring at the computer and desparately procrastinating.
Now I'm going to get back to work. Seriously, this time. I mean it.
(By the way, I think the German final went well. I was the second one out of there, with half an hour to spare. It helped that, of the two translations, the first was on Rosa Luxemburg and the second was on Albert Schweitzer. Hooray!)
