I can't do it!

I think I may give up on my dissertation. I can't do anymore - my mind has gone blank. And I'm poorly. And it's raining outside. Actually the rain is the one thing that is stopping me from just getting up and leaving the library right now. Humph! I'd much prefer to do a few exams than a dissertation. So many of my friends seem to have finished already. But I know I'll finish it, beacause I have to. And I'm sure it'll be good, so there's really no reason to be whingeing, I know. But a girl's got to have a moan every now and again, hasn't she?

So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.

Proof about the cat thing

http://www.rathergood.com/laibach/

Procrastination...

Did you know, a cat has 32 muscles in each ear? Pretty good proof, I think, that cats are the spawn of the devil. Why else would they have, or even need, that many muscles in an ear? Hmmm? And have you ever seen a baby pigeon? No. That's because baby pigeons are in fact wasps. Wasps - flying pieces of evil. Pigeons - bigger flying pieces of evil. Cats - flying pieces of evil that can no longer fly. Yes, that's right. Wasps grow into pigeons which in turn grow into cats. Now, there will be people out there who try to argue that they've seen baby cats. I agree, so have I, but how can we be absolutely certain that the pigeons don't become kittens?

Ok, so I'm trying not to write any more of my dissertation. 5600 words or there about so I don't really have that much more to write, but it's soooooo hard :( But I have to, so cheerio...

So don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.

So, it’s quite clear that I have plenty that I ought to be doing, dissertation, rehearsals, etc. because I’ve started becoming slightly crazed, and have taken to staring vacantly at the computer screen, allowing the atmosphere of the library to slowly drain my soul. I hope you enjoy my ramblings. You see, they’re for my sake really, to keep me out of trouble and to allow me a moment or two of sanity. Hard to believe, I understand, but there you have it. As long as I’m writing this I’m not playing ‘feed the 9 mouthed baby’ or ‘text twist’ on www.addictinggames.com; laughing out loud at the biscuit reviews on www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com and receiving funny looks from the people sat near me; or talking to myself. Actually, scrub that last one – I doubt there’s anything out there that will ever stop me talking to myself! Admittedly, this isn’t helping me to write my dissertation, but I figure I need a quick break from the descent into research hell.
Watched Star wars: Return of the Jedi at the weekend, and was incredibly amused at the fact that Luke Skywalker is only in possession of a mere two facial expressions, those being angry confusion, and surprise. Slightly disappointed that the big fight between Vader and Skywalker wasn’t as big and exciting as it was when I watched it all those years ago – but hey, that’s the peril of getting older and wiser ain’t it.
Ok, slightly concerned at myself now – how come when I’m writing unimportant nonsense the words just flow, but at the mere thought of getting something useful down on paper there is an immediate mental block, and then all the words laugh and run away?
Interesting thought, and one that I shall muse on at a later date. For now, I feel I should return to reality…
