Let it Linger

... So I've discovered over the past four years I have become a professional procrastinator, I have learned to take procrastination to a whole new level, it is my art. However, I have also discovered that I thrive under the time constraints I create for myself. I have my final english paper (16 pages) due on Tuesday, I have had 7 weeks to do it and I am just beginning it, and I want to put it off even longer. Typically this is the point when I would just power through it but I am getting really upset over it. Once this paper is done I am that much closer to graduation. True, I'll be at grad school next year but it will never be the same. While I understand what I have to do ... I just don't want to. I will continue sorting through these novels trying to justify why they are considered literary masterpieces and attempt to define the term masterpiece in the process, but I'm going to do it kicking and screaming, and not like I usually do. This is not me simply not wanting to do a paper because it is tedious, this is me not wanting to do it because this signifies the beginning of the end of college and college has been great!
