Barely Pulling Through

I just turned in my paper that is due tomorrow.  E-mail is such an exciting tool because you can turn things in without worrying that someone will be in the office.  This was a hard one for me to crank out because I was having such a hard time being motivated.  Last year, I was so afraid of failing. My feelings of unworthiness permeated all of my class performance.  This year, I still have fear but it is that I will have wasted all this effort for a crap shoot.  This particular class makes me feel like crap about two things which are critical to my identity: my ability to think and my capacity to write well.  Feeling like crap about myself is not something I enjoy; this contributes to my HORRIBLE procrastination on starting the assignments earlier.  Any ideas for how to get out of this slump are welcome!

I miss being there too Corrie. I try to reward myself with watching television, showering and using a fancy bath product, or sleeping.

I forgot to mention that I take a "time-out" and read for pleasure. I try to read at least two pages before sleeping every night to make me feel centered.
