Apathy... I has it

I feel like I've been beaten with an apathy stick. I don't want to do anything. I'm tired and unmotivated as all get out. I did finish up everything on the report that I wanted to change (minor changes) and just need one more piece of information before it's done. I also sent out several emails to people. Otherwise, I've just surfed the web and worked on some personal projects.

Sigh.

Theory vs Reality

How my day was to go in theory:

  • Finish maps for part-time job

  • Complete stats homework

  • Lunch

  • Complete poster for presentation on Friday

  • Possibly write for rest of day



How my day actually went:

  • Discover that I am locked out of the computer I was using to complete maps

  • Work on poster

  • Give self heart attack thinking I did something wrong with my graphs

  • Realize graphs are fine

  • Try to explain dpi to a professor and why upping a 72dpi image to 300dpi will not automatically make the image "better"

  • Complete poster

  • Check three other computer before finding one with Photoshop that I'm not locked out of

  • Start finishing maps

  • Fire drill

  • Find out that fire drill is fire actual

  • I DIDN'T GRAB THE THUMB DRIVE WITH MY FINISHED POSTER ON IT. Good to know my priorities are in order.

  • False alarm. Troop back into building.

  • Lunch

  • Finish maps

  • Work on stats homework

  • Curse at stats homework

  • Decide I will answer last two questions tomorrow

  • Play a few games

  • Realize that final assignment in stats is due next week and not after Thanksgiving

  • Start looking through papers I can use for the assignment trying to find one with statistics I actually understand

  • Panic

  • Settle on paper about AIDS, even though it has nothing to do with my thesis because it's an easy read with nicely explained statistics

  • Print paper

  • Nearly crash computer

  • Realize I need to turn in a copy and print paper again

  • Nearly crash computer... again

  • Give up and read [info]maderr's latest story

  • Post about day on LJ



Now to read this paper again. I've read it before, but it's been awhile.

Motivation = dead

Somebody poke me on AIM until I write something. Anything. I'll take suggestions.
