a spirit hampered

Veronika said you should never get used to anything; and she's right.

Here's one reason why you shouldn't procrastinate: it usually happens that when you're halfway through a project or preparing for a presentation for tomorrow (or later today) you realise that the past 14 slides you've been working on are irrelevant and that the main bulk of important ideas are in the 20 pages you didn't finish reading.

I haven't been procrastinating, I've been spending the past couple of days pulling my hair out over too many things. Watch out for those bald patches.

Yesterday I described my relationship with Sociology as to this History major as "I ran off with my adulterous lover", referring to Lit as my true love. Sometimes I wonder if it's analogous to my life. See, the first 3 years of Soci were honestly awesome. No regrets about my decision. Here in my final and fourth year, the going is tough and my support network is weak and dispersed within the academic realm. (I feel like I need to quantify that lest I come across as being an ingrate) ARGH.

No, I'm not having the most fantastic time. Social welfare policies don't fascinate me the least bit and I crave some Blake or Romantic prose.
