Procrastination Is My Mantra

This week, with two long and involved papers looming over me and two more essay exams approaching on the horizon, my brain’s top-level personalities held a conference and decided that now would be a good time for some intensive worldbuilding.

 

So in between assessing the statistical representations of blog register, reading articles on the Roma, giving a Powerpoint presentation on paternal investment, and trying to find something in the medical journals that would help me with my twins paper, I am poring over astronomy books, figuring out moon densities, constructing animals with the help of some biology-related websites, and working out color symbolism for a particular culture’s jewelry. The things I should be doing are not fun; the things I don’t need to be doing are very much so.  And yet, they seem remarkably similar in terms of effort if you’re a layman.

 

Mark Twain said it best.  “Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.” And as I’m not obliged to whip out my calculator and work on orbital periods, I’m all over them.

 

Party on.

I have taken to doing homework over at the Consort's house, because I do not have the urge to clean *his* house while desperately trying to not read my law homework, and there is nothing else to distract me because all the good books are over at my place.
