I've handed it in. Woohoo! I have escaped groundhog day... |

Carson, if you check in as my referee on this one (the invitation email only had provision to enter your address, not any explanatory message), my assignment is on 'what can a writer learn from Camus' use of the first person in The Outsider: What is left unsaid'. I've been having terrible trouble getting it done, first cause I was sick with the flu, then cause I struggled to come up with a question and a new angle (we have to come up with this ourselves), and now because I am just struggling to wrestle a mass of interesting information into a coherent and academically-rigorous format. It's now overdue (I had an extension, but to exactly when is not 100% certain), so I am trying to find any and all ways to get myself into a position where I finish it (hence donating to an appalling cause if I don't, and inviting you to be a witness). |

In the last 24 hours I have progressed. When I stopped and went to bed last night at midnight I was feeling pleased and like I was on a roll. This morning - so far - I've been completely unable to get into it. It's like my brain isn't working. I look at what I've got and it looks disjointed and crap. Not even close. I feel further from finishing than I did last night. Coming here and seeing the reminder that if I haven't handed it in by tomorrow that I will be giving money to a group that I abhor is making me feel more like I HAVE to finish it. |

Well I feel less FAR from working on my assignment than I did before making this commitment. Giving money TO an anti-abortion group would be something I'd be deeply embarrassed by. Most of my problem with this assignment now is psychological. ANYthing would be better than nothing. |
