School Woes (37 of 90)

Here's yesterday's post. I got distracted and never actually put this up.

Oh Lawd:

So today (for the second day in a row) I have attempted to do my critiques for English. Normally, I wouldn't be so slow about this, but well. This weekend/today, I have been. One of the papers is 14 pages long. Not so long in the long run (ha, pun) but piled on top of everything else, I'm just being lazy about it.

I've finished the other two critiques, but I'm really dragging on this last one. It's 14 pages. Of some fiction story that sounds like it's part of a larger work. I say that because there are references to shit I know nothing about. Clearly I'll have enough to manage a one page critique, but man am I being lazy.

Which brings me to the main idea... this laziness is going to kill me, haha. Why? Because I have nothing but stories and projects to do from here on out. So I really need to get the ball rolling. I'll be contacting people for the rest of the week for interviews and things, which brings me to another point.

I'm terrified of phones. Haha, I'm going to be a horrible reporter if I can't shake this stupid 'fear'. I just have an aversion to calling up random people and asking for things. Which, as anyone can guess, it's going to be a problem for my intended career path. I suppose I'll just have to practice? Call up random people and ask for shit more often? I don't know. Maybe I'll start with Chinese food places.
