This post is from my more “academic” blog, which I have called http://rrucatherinenovak.wordpress.com. It’s not so academic tonight, so I’m going to post it here, too.
*************************************************************************************
Let’s be perfectly clear here. I have drawn the line under my work as of my last post, and this one does not count for any self-evaluation except the one that I am doing right now, as I type. And frankly, I would have titled the post “I suck”, except that I am trying to be a bit kind to myself.
I want to and need to get my blog self-evaluation asssignment done and handed in two days early, so I can head off to Portland (Portlandia!!) with a clear conscience and one less thing on my plate. Now it is 8:34 pm. I have an outline, and I have some notes. I *don’t* have printer ink, which is hindering me, and think that I may need to hop in the car and drive to campus if I intend to get much done tonight.
Do I stay and soldier on through at home, keeping my 12-year-old silent company and letting the empty coke cans from last weekend attract the fruit-flies? Or do I ship out for a more intense and studious atmosphere?
What really sucks is that I have 23 more months of self-discipline ahead. I am NOT on a boat. I am taking two classes that I borrowed lots of money for.
For what it’s worth, just writing my little hissy fit down seems to have stiffened my resolve. I think after this self-pep talk, I’ll be ok tonight.
