Oh, mid-semester. You bring with you such unending agony and torment.

For instance: have you ever sat down at your computer with Word open and stared at the blinking cursor for fifteen straight minutes?

"My, I should probably start, shouldn't I?" you say. Another ten minutes go by. "Really, I'm about to start." You get in about fifty words. "Impressive! My page is no longer entirely white! Now I just need...one thousand two hundred more words. About this thing which is in Middle English and uses the word 'thou' copiously."

Suddenly and with all the force of a charging heffalump, you realize you're totally fucked, which triggers in you a primal reaction because oh god, I'm going to fail! Failure! I will be forced into a lifetime of menial labor and possibly I will have to wear an orange jump suit and live in an all-women maximum security prison when I shoot a man for ordering extra pickles on the side and then pinching my ass! And by the time your eyes have cleared (a daymare of Burger King and bunk mates named Bessie having flashed before them), you're out of breath and wide-eyed and hopped up on adrenaline - now you're never going to get that goddamn paper done because you can't sit still. So you go out for a run around the block and don't realize it's pouring until you're halfway down the driveway and a loud blast of thunder sets a car alarm off next to your head. Squelching, you come back to your computer and hover, anxious, for a few more minutes; when that doesn't magically make the essay write itself, you shuffle through your papers and assignment book.

That's when you notice that there's yet another essay due the next day that you haven't started.

Ah hah. Hah. Fuck.

ETA: 250 words! \o/

OH GOD. D:

*sends heaps of luck and thinky thoughts your way*

THANK YOU. It totally helped. *LOFF*

LMAO! you killed me at 'charging heffalump'

I know exactly how you feel. I'm in my last year of college and this seems to be the time when they pile up those papers *sighs*

*sends happy thoughts and motivation to you*

;D

It's like every single professor on the face of the earth meets up and goes, "Hm, this day you think? Good for you?" and then they assign MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WORK SO THAT YOU WILL FAIL AND HAVE TO GIVE THE SCHOOL MORE MUNNIES.

Or maybe I'm just paranoid. BUT. You know.

*cuddles*

good luck!

Thanks! I think I've done it! *crosses fingers*

Ooo, Middle English. What's it on? The Cantebury Tales? And did you know that 'thou' was actually the informal 'you' way back when it was used? Yup, we think it's formal now, but if you ever hop into a time machine and go back and use that with the king you're liable to get thrown in the dungeon.

THANK GOD it's not the Canterbury Tales. I had to do that in British Lit my freshman year and. Wow. Never again. I will IMPALE MYSELF WITH A FORK before I do that again.

Ah, former English major here. I actually really liked them. I even have my own copy of them somewhere...

Yes, I'm completely mad. =)

Anything I can help with, though?

*sends good thoughts*

I definitely know how that one goes. Best of lucky honey. Am waving the pom-poms here in the background.

Thank youu! I managed to do it! *BEAM*

MEL MEL MEL! LOOK AT THE ICON I USED! (http://community.livejournal.com/spnnewsletter/167904.html) (I'm still giddy over that. Poor Robin had to listen to my crazy ways last night.)

ILU! YOU CAN DO IT!

AHAHAHAHAHA I LOOOVVEEE YOUUUUU, YOU INSANE LORNE-WIELDING PERSON YOU.

Procrastination is awesome when it's FUNNY! Well, perhaps funny to outsiders. ILU, baby. And you can totally do this! *cheerleads*
