a study in procrastination

Currently, as some of you know, I am taking five classes. I am also working full-time; therefore my classes are at night and on Saturday morning. (8 a.m.) (Have I mentioned that I'm not a morning person?)
(Have I mentioned that I like to stay out until 4 a.m.?)

I will graduate in December, so yeah, yeah light, tunnel, almost there, all been worth it, sacrifices, we all make choices, blah, blah, blah. Bite me.
In the fall I have three more requirements and I will be in five more classes, full-time working and ta dah! Shiny piece of paper in my hand, job, money, blah, blah, blah.

As of this moment I have:

A 15 page rough draft that is due Saturday.

The final 15 pages are due in two weeks. Research is finished, (I think) but I'm not really sure what my thesis is. Yes, I know how that sounds.

A 4-6 page paper due in two weeks.

A 5 page paper due in two weeks.

A 15-20 minute presentation due in two weeks.

A 15-20 minute presentation due in two weeks. (No, I didn't make a mistake. I have two separate presentations due in two weeks.)

A 2-3 page paper due tomorrow.

Over 100+ pages of poems and short stories to be read for tomorrow night. No, I didn't put this off. It was all assigned on Monday. Yes, I have actually read some of the assigned pieces. This is what I have left to read. Also, this is what the 2-3-page paper is due on.

Mmmmm, I think that's it.

I should be doing the 100+ pages of reading right now. But you know how when you have SO much that needs to be done that your kinda over-whelmed by it all, not to mention tired, that you just can't focus?
It's just too much?
Yeah.
So, instead of coming home to do laundry and homework on the one night off through the week that I don't have class, I went out for the two d's with a girlfriend. (Dinner and drinks. I knew you were wondering. It's not a boob reference. Although with me it's always best to ask.)
So, anywho.
Yeah.
We talked for about 4.5 hours. (The girlfriend and I.)
I feel better.
Laundry? Yeah, not gonna happen.
Homework? Well, um, yeah. I'm writing this post instead.

So, if my posts aren't very creative or if my emails, IM's, go here there and everywhere and don't make much sense and if spelling is all over the place (Hold it. Bite the tongue. Truly, no need to go there.) Well, yeah. See the above for an explanation.

Train. Tunnel. Light. Shiny piece of paper. Job. Money. Future.

Whatev.

Blah, blah, blah.

Senioritis has SO set in.

P: I think, hope, that all of you continue to be in my life in the future.

Py: Thanks. I can use all the good vibes I can get at the moment.

GG: I am an excellent studier. I know all the short cuts, long cuts, spark notes. com's.

It's more about just generally being burnt out at the present moment.

HAving been out in the Corp. Am without a degree, trust me, the degree is needed.

In my current job, yeah. I need it to get to where I want to go.
