Hundredth Post

Doesn't every blog denote it's hundredth post-aversary?

This one does. I really can't believe it has taken this long to break one hundred. If I had posted everything I really thought when I was in Thailand I probably would have reached this milestone quite some time ago. I did have some restraint, though and that is why I am at this point today. Whatever point that is.

Ah yes, the point of this post: procrastination. I have two papers to write this week and zero papers started. Instead of doing something productive, I turn to the blog to aid me in my goal of the evening: distraction.

While I'm distracting myself, I must admit that I have some big decisions to make in the near future and they are rather overwhelming. Soon, very soon, I will pick an internship site and an internship site will pick me. For the sake of convenience, I am hoping for Catholic Charities. I am already paranoid about interviewing, paranoid that they won't want me after they take one look at my resume, paranoid about so many things. I really hate coming under the scrutiny of anyone. Makes the academic life a bit challenging, since pretty much all of academia is scrutinizing my every move. Or every paper. Which probably explains why I procrastinate so often when it comes to writing papers.

And the post comes full circle.
