First Essay of the Semester

... and I'm procrastinating so bad. It's not even proper procrastination where I actively look for other things to do (well, aside from posting this) it's more I'll be reading and my mind just wanders off in a different direction. 'As Jean Baudrillard suggests in the case of ... blah object blah subject blah ... Wait, what did that paragraph say?' It probably doesn't help that the article I'm currently reading has the combination of a smaller than usual font size and a lot of dense sentences with many syllable words. The irony of all this is that I had planned to get all this done early but than my computer died and I lost any chance of getting work done between not having my laptop and then trying to fix everything.
It can also just be frustrating that an essay that's only 1,000 words and only worth 10% requires so much work. Then again I personally think I'm terrible at handling short essays. I always read and plan too much and end up having to leave loads out. The joy of editing. I want to be done by Wednesday because I'm not home most of Thursday and I don't want to have to be frantically trying to write on essay on my bday when it's due. I think my main problem is my mind thinking 'hey you've written a heck of a lot more than that in one day'. Which is true, I got 3,000 in a day before, but it doesn't mean I want to have to do it.

I was going to post a .gif but apparently it just stays as a static picture which saddens me. Have some Grover instead. He doesn't get enough love nowadays.
