That should be your motivation right there grasshopper.

Man, 5000 words is like 12 pages. I'm a pretty good writer, and that'd probably take me 10 hours if I REALLY put my nose to the grindstone. It's the thesis that takes forever. I've spent 3 hours alone just perfecting a thesis and intro paragraph. |
I'm a fairly decent writer as well, and if I just stop being distracted by ten different things, I could do half of it now, sleep a good 6-7 hours, and finish the rest tomorrow morning. Apart from the core 1000-1200 words, the rest isn't even that hard, but damn for some reason I just can't get myself to do it.

My better half is going on over a year of perfecting her thesis. Draft one gets handed in within a week. |
Oh, you're talking about a Master's though, I assume. I'm just talking about a short thesis statement and intro for a normal essay.

Yeah, I don't seem to get motivated until it's already too late, lol.
One of my happiest moments was finishing a paper that I didn't do last year, and thus failed the course. I left it till the last minute AGAIN, and had to make up more bull (just like last year) to tell my teacher.
I forced myself to stay up ALL night to get it done, and at around 6am I ing fell asleep and didn't wake up until the time my prof wanted me to hand it in by. And yeah, it still wasn't done.
So I had to skip class all day to finish it, and hand it in with some more bull excuse...but she accepted it! LoL.
I'm for real never ing doing that again. I hate the way my body feels when I pull all nighters all the time. And I can't stand the guilt of making up bull, or the fear of failing. |

| Go write it now. Finish it up. When you're done, you can wank AND you can post on TA again. Until it is finished, no TA and no wanking. |

I'm upto 900, watching Alan Partridge, listening to Vicnent de Moor.. and posting on TA.
The problem is for some reason I don't feel threatened by the fact that it's this urgent. Im not going to get an extension, and I can't fail this module, but there is no urgency. Something is wrong. |

My mistake. I've just been on the other end of thesis hell for the past few months. And yes you are correct. |
