productivity block

Have you ever had one of those weekends where you have been gifted hours, days of free time but you simply cannot find it within yourself to do anything productive? That's been the tune of the past few days for me.

I think I was actually counterproductive yesterday. I sat in the library staring blankly at my laptop screen FOR NEARLY THREE HOURS. Then I opted out of joining my friends at the bar for live music ostensibly to "stay in and work," but ended up surfing the web and strumming melancholy minor chords on my guitar until 1:00am. What is wrong with me?! This is infuriating, especially since I have a tidal wave of deadlines cropping up this week. MA Paper draft. Readings. A speaker that I have arranged to come to Clark on Wed (Dr. Smarajit Jana, awesome public health scientist and Chief Advisor to Durbar--has done lots of work on HIV/AIDS throughout Asia).

Sigh. I quote from my friend Peggy, who at this juncture might remark "I need a shot of motivation---STAT!"
