I am starting this thread to find people in the same boat as myself. I have a Literary Analysis essay due tomorrow. English is my worst subject PURELY for the literary aspects of it. I'm fine with grammar and technical writing but the creative side alludes me. I read a poem, I see the words, and not the underlying meaning. Blegh!! Anyways, I'm just wondering if anyone else is avoiding anything. Feel free to post here. I can't be the ONLY one avoiding work!!

I have about 4 hours worth of grading that has to be done tomorrow by 5:30pm. I'm going to plant my sick butt on the couch in a few minutes and begin the process. After, of course, I finish reading all the cool threads here

Taking a nasty mat off Maggie's underarm...I have to do it, but she looks at me with such sad, sad eyes it almost breaks my heart. I even use a detangler spray! I will do it before the dh gets home... Getting my C'mas stuff out of the closet upstairs and bringing it downstairs! This thread is GREAT!!

As someone who has an assignment to hand in, I ask you Spygirl: Why do you assign things!! You put unneccessary work on BOTH of us!! (just kidding of course) Next time you come across some "great assignment" just think, "50% mid-term, 50% final". heh heh heh.

Oh, and Spygirl, MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTS. All on that "scantron" paper that you just feed through the machine. Ten minutes, you're DONE marking. (My ex was a teacher.)

Landi, if it's any consolation, I haven't unpacked any of my 18 boxes of books since I moved October 1st. IKEA was out of the bookshelves I wanted, so I'm waiting. However bookshelves aside, I still haven't unpacked three bedroom boxes, majority of my linens, and about 3 TV/video boxes. Oh and two "desk boxes that I'm too lazy to sort out. So a big hug to you for also NOT UNPACKING!!

If it's any consolation, we have been in our house for eight years and there are still boxes I haven't unpacked! Guess if we haven't missed it - might as well put in in the Goodwill pile.

just for the record, i have always been the master at living in the 24th hour - never could wrote two sentences of a paper if i tried a month ahead but cranked out 20 pages with 24 hours on the clock - so i am totally on this ship of time thieves what i should be doing at work is going through the files sitting on my desk since JULY and right now i should be going through all my papers piling up in my bedroom since May 2002! but doubt that will be happen tonight

Eeyores, I am working on my doctorate in literature, so if you ever need brainstorming help, please feel free to ask. The rule of thumb is this: no idea is ever too strange and no interpretation is counterintuitive enough. Just so long as you can pretend to prove it. OK, now back to the topic.

I'm avoiding writing a journal article that is due on Wednesday. I will be cranking out the pages tomorrow, and tonight....IF I can stay awake. Jet lag sucks. I'm still not unpacked from moving in August. SIGH! I have a mountain of grading to do, too!

Shh, don't tell Marm but I'm still avoiding the project I have for my class. The really sad thing about this is I have everything I need, all of the info, and everything typed out. I just need to get on Darren's computer to use one of his programs and put the stuff together and email it to the professor. Reason I haven't done it when I know I should? Because I know it's not that much work, it won't take too long to do, so it's the easiest thing to put off since I have til Friday to do it.

Wargod, the only shame in this thread is doing the project EARLY. Is marm your teacher? I don't know all the relationships of various folks on the board.

<Marm kicks War in the BUTT......get going, girl! I got that grant done, you can get your project done!> Now, someone kick me in the BUTT! I fell asleep shortly after posting, and don't have a single word written for my article. I dreamed about it though, so maybe it will just flow out. It feels great to check off these things we are supposed to do....but isn't reading TVCH a lot more fun? Eeyore...I'm not War's teacher, but we encourage each other with our projects. It was two weeks ago when I was going crazy with a grant application and she was SUPPOSED to do her project! LOL!

I need to go to bed and get a nap because I'm supposed to start back at Curves this morning. Went to bed when the kids did (9:00) last evening, then DH woke me at 3:30 this morning when he came home from work, I watched TV till I had to wake the kids for school two hours later, put them on the bus at 6:30, then played Diablo for an hour. Now I'm here procrastinating because I don't want to go back to bed and THEN get up for a shower and the ever-dreaded workout. I stopped going in September when my sis-in-law broke her foot a month before she had her new baby boy. I'm out of shape and know it's gonna hurt to Curve again. Make me go to bed and then get up to go Curve-ing!

Love the title of this thread!! I should be grading papers and working on lesson plans. We had the day off yesterday, so I'm still in "Fall Break" mode. I can barely keep my eyes open.
