tick tock goes the clock

Procrastination has got to be my middle name. I'm not as productive as I would like to be right now, and the deadline is looming like dark grey clouds in the background. Ho hum...

I'm the kind of person who can spend half the day napping, and the other half wasted at the internet / tv / plain lazing around, and yet feel great about it. That is, if I haven't got work to do. I can sit quietly at the computer for HOURS, just browsing online etc and not feel as if a minute has gone by, unless my eyes start blurring or irritated.

However when I pick up a book, each minute goes by slowly, and I find myself agonising at every sentence, and shudder at the incomprehensible ones. I feel as if I'm going through an academic withdrawal, WHICH IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

Not only that, I lose interest after less than half an hour and I get tempted to watch the telly, walk to the kitchen and stare, walk back to my room, cuddle my pillow, stare at the blue sky, watch the trees in the park, anything and everything but reading / typing / having to do with my research paper.

ROARRRRR!!!

I think I'm getting paranoid of books and anything that has lengthy words in it, except for the newspapers I guess. Boo. Not too long ago, I was just thinking of how I managed to spend 4 hours in the college library, tucked in a cosy corner, reading a geography book and thoroughly enjoying it. Perhaps from the absence of a laptop. Hmm. Perhaps from the slight discomfort of the chair in the library. Hmm. Perhaps from the comfort of the airconditioning. I think I either need to slap myself awake and go straight into my nerd mode, or kick myself out of the house and to the. erm.. somewhere conducive that I know not of.

Blah. I am so disappointed with myself, yet don't feel the push to do anything constructive. WEHHHH. Am I the only one experiencing this?!?

I desperately need to get back my drive.

Suggestions? Anyone???

Btw, I added some new links to the side. :)
