Postponing the Inevitable

I have work to do, but I can't sit down and make myself do it.

The problem is probably that I wasn't given a due date. If I knew that the thing had to be finished by such-and-such a time, I would be able to make myself focus. As is . . . I'm updating my blog for the first time in weeks.

It's not even really a hard assignment--I just have to flesh out an outline for a paper. A paper that I get to co-author (and possibly present) at APSA this fall. In other words, unless I screw this up, I'll be published in an academic journal.

So this is a big deal.

And I still can't make myself work on it.

Blah.

In other news, stuff is finally coming together and I'm getting an idea of what I want to do with the rest of my life. I've known for a while I want to work with indigenous communities, but now that I'm working at TUCI, I know that I want to work with kids. Sooo, I want to do stuff with indigenous children to improve their education opportunities.

So I've achieved something, I guess?

Better than nothing.
