It seems my umpteenth attempt to dupe myself into completing schoolwork early has again failed. As the end of each semester draws to a close, I find myself (after an entire semester of slacking off) overly ambitious to get all of the work done, and in record time. So I lie to myself. I say, "Self, if you spend all day Saturday working on your 8 papers, you will find yourself free as a bird tomorrow. There is no possibility that, in spite of your valiant effort, you will not finish them all. You are Superwoman. (and awesome)."
How disappointing it is year after year to discover that I still have not harnessed the greatness of my super powers! (But at least I am not living my life in fear of a make-believe green meteor rock). What's that you say? What does stress have to do with losing my mind? Yes, I suppose you could be right. I may actually be Lois Lane, not Superwoman. Bummer.
