Had a nice chat with a fellow mindsayer . . . solidification . . . I realized I was looking at things all wrong. Our convo follows in part:
----- 

Touch Me Hobo: English Comp II really hit me hard with this.
Touch Me Hobo: Throwing the paper at us right from the start.
Touch Me Hobo: I have my high school paper to deal with, my senior project, and scholarship mess to piddle around with.
BravesFan11984: and now another paper
BravesFan11984: i feel your pain
BravesFan11984: professors don't care that you have a life outside of their class . . . kinda blows
Touch Me Hobo: Well, I don't choose to see it that way, but, yeah, I see where you come from.
Touch Me Hobo: Of course, I sort of have to since every other student seems to go about saying, "professors don't care blah blah blah."
Touch Me Hobo: Oh, well.
Touch Me Hobo: I'll get this done.
Touch Me Hobo: I've found that "loads of work" really aren't loads until you put it all off.
Touch Me Hobo: Or attempt to do it all at once.
BravesFan11984: ok, well, let me rephrase . . . most professor don't care, but there are some that do . . . i do have a professor that is strongly trying to convince me to go on an abroad trip
BravesFan11984: ok, i see what you're saying, too . . . so in other words, i should quit procrastinating and do my work
Touch Me Hobo: Yeah.
BravesFan11984: lol
Touch Me Hobo: If you have five research papers to do at once...
Touch Me Hobo: And they're all due in two weeks at the latest..
Touch Me Hobo: It's NOT that hard if you're just willing to put other things off first.
Touch Me Hobo: NOTHING has ever actually been stressful.  When I get TONS of homework from school, if I do it nonstop, I'm done with it all in one day.
Touch Me Hobo: Work is just made to seem overbearing.
Touch Me Hobo: It never is.
BravesFan11984: *takes notes* . . . *nods head* . . . ok  . . . i see what you're saying
Touch Me Hobo: It's all about attitude.
Touch Me Hobo:
BravesFan11984: so i'm learning
Touch Me Hobo: Well, they don't say it just for giggles.
Touch Me Hobo: If you have no ambition, you WILL bitch and moan.
BravesFan11984: true
Touch Me Hobo: If you have ambition, you won't let it bother you.
Touch Me Hobo: That's just how life works.
Touch Me Hobo: To say otherwise is to admit your lack of ambition.
BravesFan11984: very humbling for me . . . i think i'm 'bout ready to do that assignment, even if i do think it's dumb

So, yeah, I think I'm gonna go get my work done . . . at least work on homework 'til midnight, and then tomorrow evening while working in the photo lab, I'll finish whatever's due for the rest of this week. This procrastination has to end . . .
