 Posted: 03/14/04 - 18:45 Post subject: PLEASE send motivation mojo!
I have this huge presentation due for school this Wednesday which I am struggling to find the motivation to finish. My partner is calling tonight at 9:00 to go over the slides we've put together but I still have 7 more articles to read and outline by then  I simply cannot get myself to sit still and focus long enough to do it. And what's annoying is this is really interesting stuff so it's not like I don't want to read it!  And my roomie isn't even here to distract me cuz he has been at his mom's all day. Sigh.
However, my laundry is all done, folded, put away, the dead stuff is all cleared out of the garden, trash is emptied, kitchen is clean, my room is picked up, the filing is done.....you get the picture 
Whimper....fellow students and anyone else, please send mojo ASAP! 
I'm getting offline and taking the laptop into my room to read, AWAY from the evil Internet, hopefully that will help.

evil internet?? just what are you doing online? 
if you'd like, I can call at 8:58 so your phone can be busy when your study partner calls.

I'm not much help. I'd do a much better job on Tuesday when I'd worked myself into a MAJOR panic.
Unless you enjoy insanity, get to work!

if not,
FOCUS 
what an odd word - focus.

Good luck Genie, sharing some mojo with you. I go in jags, where I'm Queen of Focus and can write a dozen papers in a few days, then I don't get much accomplished for a week or two or more... It's hard to get into the zone at times. I hope you're there right now.

Hey, whatever gets you to come down here 
Thanks guys!! Your collective mojo did the trick! I was up til 1AM this morning writing and rewriting but still working under some sort of block, but it hit me at 6:00 this morning when I got up that I need to take this in a different direction, in part, to build more on what I've already written rather than try to go elsewhere within the topic (sexuality is a HUGELY debated and very broad topic, as we've seen here in recent weeks).
By George (and the rest of Riff Raff  ) I think I've got it!! Two more sleepless nights and this is gonna knock their freakin' socks off!!!!!
Once again, the power of Riff Raff reigns supreme......

Good Luck!!! I'll bet you knock their socks off!
(and from the MOST ADD person you probably know, I understand that it can be hard to focus....but as you kept telling me when you were down here...FOCUS!! NOW!!)
