I really don’t want to write this paper

As in I really, really, REALLY don’t want to write it.

The class was good, and the stuff we learned was interesting (and even profoundly compelling at times), but the grading is arbitrary, the class didn’t present itself as a challenge, and I’ve already written one final paper this week.  One freaking fantastic final paper that is going to rock my other teacher’s world (or at least break a 90, inshallah)!

But yeah, I’ve got this paper due at 4:30 pm on Monday…and I haven’t written the first word yet (though I’ve written the bibliography and cover page)…and I’ve barely got my thesis argument figured out in my mind…

All I really want to do is write in my novel!
