As in: I feel procrastinatee about several things right now, but maybe it’s tiredness?
-I agreed to transcribe language samples again this semester, yet have only done half of one. And I keep moving the notification ahead on my calendar to-do list. I agreed because my favorite professor asked me to. Also, because I won’t be a student in the winter so I can’t do in then as I had intended. But it’s harder then I remember, and things keep coming up.
-I would love to get my grad school application off my plate. To have it finished, get it off the to-do list, and 
perhaps secure the best funding (is that a thing?) but I keep pushing that forward because it needs to be RIGHT. I have to finish editing the essays and everything before I can get to this and they are not quite where I want them. Plus, I don’t know for certain if early applications receive any extra deals or funding over the ones turned in on deadline (1-15-15).
-I need to edit and finish my personal statement. I haven’t finished this up because it was suggested that I re-organize it entirely. So it feels to me like instead of wrapping it up and just combing it for errors–I’m back in the middle of the writing process. I want it done as best as possible, but now this stage requires more concentration then my studies and work schedule seemingly allow.
-I’m also procrastinatee about my scholarly paper. But because I got good editing marks, that I need to read through and employ and I never seem to have a long chunk of time to do the whole thing. I don’t want to get in the middle somewhere and have to remember which items I’ve corrected and which I still need to do.
Basically, it comes down to the fact that neuroanatomy takes a lot of my unscheduled time. I have to make study materials for it-and study them. And phonetics, even though I’ve used it a lot, has a billion tests (6 already) that I have to do practice for. So it seems when I’m not actually scheduled to be somewhere, or doing the class stuff, I’m either sleeping, or too tired to focus enough.
Or Cool is a distraction. Her moods are always up and down, meds always coming or going, or I just want to take advantage of the good days. So that takes some concentration and attention away. It’s a frustrating thing, but I think I’ll be caught in this loop until something gives–school semester (will hopefully be the thing). I don’t want to jeopardize my grades trying to get this (mostly writing) stuff done. When the semester is done I’ll really push to finish the writing and submit the application.
