AGAIN I TELL YOU!!!!

Man, whenever I tell myself that there will never be another crunchtime, the next crunchtime gets just THAT much more insanely hectic.

I just CAN'T do my work at a steady pace! I HAVE to leave it all until the last minute!

AAARRRRRRGH!

OK, so I'm doing my fourth year of History/Classics study, the 'Honours' year they call it (BA degrees in New Zealand go for three years, you do an extra year of 'honours' if you make the cut and want to have a little '(hons.)' beside your name on your degree), and I have to give a seminar tomorrow on 'The Origins of New Zealand's imperialism to circa 1890'. I have to lead/lecture my classmates for about fifty minutes straight, followed by an hour of discussion after that.

And y'know what? I'm not ready.

I've done my reading, I kinda/sorta know my stuff. But I havn't typed anything out on paper. I'm not worried about public speaking, in fact I kinda like being centre of attention... I'm just a little concerned as to whether I'm actually going to know enough to speak for fifty minutes.

I'm a student dammit! Not a lecturer! I don't have a PhD! I'm not qualified for this shit!

Ok...ok... panic attack over... I gotta get to work. No sleep tonight for me I'm afraid, and it's my own damn fault! Ooooh, maybe if I get tired enough I'll start hallucinating... this could be fun.

Anyone else here a chronic masturba....errr, procrastinator?
