guilt

Somehow I have to get a 4000 word essay done by May 15th while apartment hunting, working, and doing a variety of other unrelated things. My brain is over-saturated with thought, and I can't focus on sounding academic or summoning up the drive to read any more. I am tired of black type on white paper and screen, and so I've decided I am taking a break until Tuesday. I feel guilty; guilty for enjoying my time with friends and my art supplies. I know everything will ultimately come together, but goodness... I'll be so relieved once the paper is complete and I am sitting on the floor of my new apartment with a hot mug of tea.
