For the past two weeks my blog entry has been considerably late.

I am forgetting reponsibilities that I hold within various groups and organizations.

I find it hard to remember deadlines even when I write them down.

What is happening?

The approach of end of the school has made me wish for days void of time-consuming responsibilities. Subconsciously I guess I've decided to make the glorious day come faster. It's like I'm suffering from a temporary, self-induced amnesia. Even if I don't necessarily mean to "shirk the work," I end up doing exactly that anyway.

On top of this, for some odd reason (perhaps track), I require an unprecedented amount of sleep and nourishment in order to function as I normally would.

The end result?

Things that need to be done take twice the time to get done, I lose motivation exponentially, and I feel guilty about being lazy.

All year I was expecting the rapidly approaching summer during fourth quarter to be a motivational factor that would push me to accomplish things in a manner I hadn't for the past three quarters.

Instead it's turning out to be my worst enemy.
