Of Papers of Doom

I have this deep screwed feeling in the pit of my stomach. I know I’m going to get this paper done, if it takes me all night (which it just well might) and I know that for better or worse, it’ll be done by 9am tomorrow. And I’ve resigned myself to staying up all night on caffeine. Even so, though – I have this deep screwed feeling in my stomach, and it’s driving me nuts. Like an evil presence looking over my shoulder (and no, I don’t regularly hear voices. Only sometimes ;). It’s driving me crazy. This paper is eating my brain. Hoi.

Ah, does this bring back memories. :)

It *can* be done, though. Good luck.

And it will be done. By 9am tommorow, somehow or other.

*kicks out the screwed feeling from your stomach*
You can do it! Trust me, you can. ^_^

Heheh, I've actually done it before myself, only not with writing, but with painting with Gouache for Color and Design class. Paint paint paint, go to comp while paint dries, paint paint paint some more, repeat. Around 6 am or so, start cutting mat for presentation and hope you're not sleepy enough to cut yourself by mistake. Spent about half the semester like that. ^^;

I've actually found that food makes you stay up better though. For some reason, your body consumes a lot more energy when you're staying up, and caffeine only makes you go to the toilet more often, since it's taken in liquid form. ^^;

Oh, I'll get through it somehow. It's 5:00 now, and I have but two pages two write. I know I'll do it. The question is, will I get any sleep tonight? The jury's still out on that one.

As to food, worry not. ::grins:: I've got me sour cream and onion pringles, glazed donut holes, and grapefruit flavoured gummies (they're good, really!) and two bottles of pepsi. I'll make it through the night yet!
