I have been procrastinating a paper that is due this week for awhile now. I have done all the research, did a detailed outline, and brainstormed all that I want to write in the paper. I just haven't actually written the paper yet. Now I feel somewhat like the cartoon below:

Yeah, I have a big project towering over me even now! I have been productive too--cleaning the house, keeping up with the laundry, preparing meals, preparing Sunday School lessons, reading for Brit Lit, studying Geology, and even took a Dance history test, and studied a lot for it. It just always seems like I'll try to get everything else done but the paper. Now I must complete it. I am not one to procrastinate normally. I must be hesitating because I haven't written a literature review before.

I have procrastinated my last today by publishing this blog! I will definitely feel better once this is all over. Procrastination isn't as glorious or fun as it sounds :). Wish me luck!
