I am checking in to say that we are having trouble being motivated. I've just finished a 2000 word film essay, and it took longer than it should have, and it wasn't as good as it should have been. I haven't handed it in yet, but I have no energy to resurrect the patient. Which really shouldn't be the case. Housemate Dave hasn't even reached the halfway point yet.

Easter break ends this weekend, then it's back to work. You know that feeling you get after the June holidays, and you have to go back to school, and it's bloody depressing, and you wish you could just stay home. Well in University I finally have the freedom to not go, and I feel like exercising it. The next 4 weeks is going to be pretty harsh, I'm hoping to get all my work done by early May, instead of late May where the deadlines are. There are several reasons for this.

1) I love being ahead.
2) I've done it before, end of last term, and it was hell, but I got good grades, and I love being ahead.
3) I love being guailan to other people who are not as ahead as I am.
4) I'm a worst-case scenario kinda guy. I always fear falling ill before a deadline, where the work hasn't been done yet. Then I'd be fucked. And so not ahead.
5) I want time to spend with someone when she's in the neighborhood around May.

Reasons not to do it:
1) Tired.
2) Nintendo DS.
3) Not feasible.

About the last one... I have more work to do this time than I did last term, which makes it really scary. I think it would take 2 weeks of intensive everyday writing to get it all done. And I'm not even half-ready to start one of the big essays yet, which means reading time. Which means I'd have to start like now. Sigh.
