I know it's almost done, but. . .

I am blogging as a way to further postpone my grading, an act all of you can certainly understand. I know that if I just started working it would all be over soon, but I just can't seem to get enough motivation. I've spent the past few days catching up on Community Writing Center work, so now I'm tired and all I want to do is lay in my bed and read. It doesn't help that it's cold and rainy today.

I left my house, thinking that a change of scenery would help my motivation (and get me away from using housecleaning as an excuse for not grading--you know things are bad when housecleaning seems appealing). But here I am at the Cocoa Cafe, not grading. And I'm grumpy because they put way too much hazelnut syrup in my steamer.

I wish I weren't such a procrastinator. I've never been very good with the logic that if I just finishe a dreaded task it will be done and then I can move on. I think sometimes I really believe that if I wait long enough the dreaded task will go away.

Ok, back to grading.
