i'd rather waste my time

so i really want to be blogging right now because i have oh so much stuff to write about for once, and wouldn't you just love to listen to me ramble about failed attempts to fly a kite, 3d bubbles, trips to the zoo, my first day as a twenty two year old, and writer notebooks? i mean, can you think of anything in the world you would rather do? i didnt think so. it makes me feel kind of sad that i have to disappoint you. kind of like it is my duty to write for you people. to entertain you in your otherwise dreary existence.

unfortunately, i have a paper due tomorrow. the professor put down in the syllabus that it was to be a ten page paper. he then told us in class that if it's only ten pages it has to be beyond perfect to scrape a C because ten pages is not enough. how many pages did he want?? well, he wouldnt tell us of course. so i figured fifteen would be a good number to aim for. and totally doable. i might even go to twenty if i felt like it. that was before i realized i still didnt have a topic chosen three days before it was due and neither the time nor the motivation to do something cool. so i pick some crappy idea and try to squeeze out fifteen pages. i don't think i'm going to make it. right now i'm at around five single spaced so that's about hitting the ten page mark when i double space it. five more to go and i have already started to repeat myself. so while i would love to be writing out some of the stuff in my head, i have chosen to be responsible for once and write my paper.

the fact that i'm blogging right now is not going against my word because i'm blogging about my paper and hoping for blogger to give me inspiration. duh. it is also in no way an attempt to procrastinate and push the inevitable failure of a paper to tomorrow, because i am being responsible. and responsible people do not procrastinate. we don't even think about procrastinating. in fact, we refer to procrastination as "the p word" and wash our mouths out with soap if it ever passes our lips. which of course it never does.

*sigh* remind me next semester to listen when the professor tells us to start our papers from the second week of school so i'm not stuck with four due in two weeks.
