Because I know I'll laugh about this later...

I'm going to take a total of no more than 5 minutes to write this post because I need to vent so that I will get back to my research paper that is due Wednesday...that I haven't even started...

Except for Christmas breaks, the summer after graduating from undergrad, and a month after I was married I have been in school non-stop since my freshman year of college.  That's six years of higher education with only 9 months off combined...blah.

Needless to say I'm a bit burned out right about now and really need to have a pity party (again no more than 5 minutes long)

I know years from now when I'm knee high in a job, children, a mortgage etc. I'll look back fondly on the simpler times when Steven and I were merely knee high in text books and research papers...but for tonight that just isn't cutting it.

Instead I look at my computer screen like a crazed woman waiting for the motivation to come to just write this paper so it will be over with

Ok thanks for listening...being my overly-logical self I am completely convinced that throwing a pity-party is in no way productive, and in the grand scheme of things my life is pretty amazing...but nonetheless sometimes throwing a 5 minute self-centered pity-party makes me get over myself, buckle down, and hit the books...
