Another paper, another late-night LJ post from yours truly. Tonight's paper is for my American Short Story class and is going to be two days late. None of it has been written, largely because I have no idea whatsoever to say. I've discovered that I'm Too Dumb for Good Writing, as half the time I don't understand stories until I get to class, such as this story which I'm supposed to discuss and critique in a short essay. Do you think "I didn't get it" is ok?

Also, the Prof made us all present our papers in class. Since I skipped class, I didn't see anyone's presentations, and I'm hoping that the fact that I'm bringing this one in late will keep me from having to make one. Maybe I'll lie and say I'm not feeling well. Hmmm. I'm taking this class pass/fail! I REFUSE to give a presentation! I loathe oral presentations! I will not go through with it! I'll lose whatever credit I have to!

I don't want to write this paper! I don't! The professor scares me. I have dubbed him, quite creatively, The Scary Russian Professor because he's scary and Russian and calls on me randomly in class, so therefore I do not heart him and do not wish to write papers for him. Instead, I want to sit around and read The Princess Diaries (my latest literary -- I suppose I use that term loosely -- obsession) and watch Making the Tour or something.

In other news: The Mets won.

Off to write zee paper.

Paper progress: One sentence.

Princess Diaries progress: Finished the book when I should have been working on paper.

Options at this point:

(1) Stay up and finish The Paper. Buckle down. Be tough.

(2) Go to bed, get up early and finish it before class. Be motivated.

(3) Go to bed, get up mere minutes before tutoring session, tutor, go to meeting, arrive in class unprepared and paper-less, frantically work on paper between English and Sociology class, race to hand paper in before 4:30. Spend bulk of the day sleep-deprived and anxious.

I'm leaning towards Option (3), especially because it means almost definitely not having to present in class tomorrow and, also, going to sleep right now.

Viva la laziness! I hate school.
