Essay hell

This week is essay week. I started out strong but have slowed down, probably because I did the easier part first. It's good to have so much under my belt, about half anyway, but I keep getting stuck and going to watch a TV episode or two then go back to it and struggle some more. It's not a good pattern and now that time is getting shorter I'm worried. I emailed my lecturer about something I didn't understand but until he emails me back I won't be able to deal with that part for each section. That's a bit scary but I'll do what I can first and add that stuff later. It's a part of the essay question itself I don't understand so please check your email, Joe! After I waste some time on the internet, I'll take Katie for a walk, shower, then get stuck into some writing. I just have to suck it up. I have some additional information I need to find to add to parts I've already written so I might do that first, as in after I shower after walking Katie.

I have 23 followers on Twitter and it makes me feel self-conscious. People are actually reading what I write, not that I know them [a few are people I know], but it's still scary. It makes me want to write perfectly but that's not what it's about. I don't have anything interesting to write now anyway as my mind is focused on this damned essay. Oh the pressure!
