i am in a hole.
deep and dark and damp.
i'm doing what i can to climb out...assistance has been sought...but i just can't move right now.
i have an essay due (on extension) on Wednesday. Since researching it has sat untouched.
ironically the subject matter is guilt and punishment.
in my mind i think about sitting down and working on it. i think about paragraph ideas; about things i have read; about intros and conclusions. but i just cannot bring myself to begin.
and the sands slip through the hourglass.
:( I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteMy study has been happening for two years now. It is via correspondence, and I have 6 years to finish what I have.
I am so slack and get distracted so easily, rather pend on things such as this, art, social life, etc.
Is it your lack of concentration?
hi Simone :)
ReplyDeleteI did 4 yrs of Open Uni online and occasionally had this problem but nowhere near as bad as i do now. it's not a concentration problem per se...more a dreadful inferiority complex where i struggle to get started due to intense fear of failure. it makes no sense rationally and has so far not been borne out by my grades, but it lurks regardless. i am seeing a psychologist at uni, which is helping a wee bit. what do YOU do to shift your *mental blocks*?
Oh you poor thing :( I'm glad assistance has been sought, it sounds like things are a bit tough at the moment. I went through a similar thing two years ago when I changed universities and went from a distinction average to a pass average.
ReplyDeleteTalking to someone is a great help, school psychologists are fantastic :) Good luck with your essay, I'm sure you'll do really well on it! Most people don't start til the day before anyway :p xoxo
