Essay writing stinks.

Current Mood:Tired emoticon Tired

After hours and days of writing my essay, I’ve done one thing over and over again. Get distracted. This is why I need to be locked in a white room with nothing but my notes for the essay, a pad of paper, pen/pencil, table and a chair. I admit I dont usually get distracted this easily. Normally with all the noise and a tv in front, I can write a paper hours non-stop. Now with all the mess in my room, a desktop in front of me, I can just as easily go to facebook, check emails, go to msn and surf before I can even concentrate on whatever it is I am doing. :sowhat: Clearly this sucks. Next month once exams starts rolling in, I cannot be here. I can no longer concentrate at home because there’s my sister constantly yelling and a desktop pc that will tempt me to go to the sites that I usually go to.
I am clearly doomed… :ashamed: Speaking of which I don’t think my essay will end up being 10 pages as required by the prof. I always do this. I end up writing 2 pages short of what’s required. Last time I wrote an essay I ended up writing 6 pages instead of 8. That was after coming up with so-called clever ways to make it longer. Change the font, change the size, change the margin.. Still it was not enough. It’s happening again. I wish I had a class where there was no requirement on how long an essay has to be. That would make my life a tad easier… Therefore I don’t have to worry that it’s too damn short. :irked:
