DOOM'd to repeat...

I distinctly recall my last few days of college. I had a few days left of finals week, one semester to go in the spring, and voila! Sheepskin and some life I couldn't possibly even imagine (or feign interest in) after that. And a funny thing happened. The motivation, it failed me. A friend actually drove down to hold my hands onto the keyboard, walk me tgrough writing a few papers, but I couldn't fucking care less.

So I decided to start finishing up that degree this summer, along with a few other lifetime aspirations, and fuck man, this summer has just gotten so busy, and the weather has sucked, and blah blah blah.

So hear I am, Tuesday of finals week. I remember my enthusiasm 2 months ago, I couldn't wait for my book to come, I was engaging in witty banter with the teacher, etc.

And here I sit. I could give a shit. I need to right 2 500 word papers and take a quiz, and I'll be back in school with a raging A to boot. But I'd rather bitch on here and try and catch up with you all.

Finals week. Reminding me why I fail at certain things since 1999.

You don't have to get it right, just get it written.

I hate it when that happens, the loss of motivation. But good news: you said

...which is much more positive than saying 'I couldn't give a shit'. :P

Nope. No. Not really. I could give a shit, yes. But I still don't. :mrgreen:

you'll feel better once you're done with it, the feeling is not a feeling of not giving a shit, it's a feeling of I don't really want to let this issue get all important and I know how important it is for me and I don't want to let it have so much importance in my life because I want to be cool and detached from important things because it's how I was brought up. so just deal with it, and kill it. it's cool too to achieve some shit once in a while too, you'll still be cool, even if you don't nail it to perfection.

At this point you may as well put up with the last mad dash, you're so close.

you need some motivation, kid? look at the old guy over here in the corner...that's right, look at me.

you don't finish this and get that piece o'paper, in 20 years you'll be me... at the wrong end of a dead end "career", with no place to go but down and no salvation in sight.


and god and dog both know that neither of us wants that to happen

so get your punk ass in gear and start typing. NOW!
