Ugg.

You know how sometimes you get a homework assignment you think isn't going to be a big deal, so you focus on other homework first? And then, when you do finally get to the assignment, it turns out to be a son-of-a-bitch, and you're pressed for time to the point that it's going to be late? And then you talk to your teacher and she helps you, but it's still too late to get it finished unless you stay up all night (again)? And then you don't stay up all night because you know you need those 2 hours of sleep, even if they won't feel like more than a nap? And then the assignment is late, but the teacher seems to not despise you that much, so you feel better about the whole thing? And then, because you feel better, and because you're sick of this rotten assignment, and since you have the WHOLE weekend, you once again focus on other homework first? And then, when you finally sit down to work on it again, you rediscover JUST how dreadful it is? And then you realize you only have a few hours before you have to be asleep in order to get any reasonable amount of rest?

And then, instead of biting the bullet, you avoid things by writing about it in your journal?

*sigh*

Back to work.

Ah, Caffeine, you wonder drug, you!

Thanks to caffeine and a renewed sense of, not purpose, but "I want to impress the PANTS off this teacher," I am now HALF-WAY DONE with this bloody paper!

Onward to the Finish Line!
