Cranking up the brain.

Confession: I underestimated how difficult it would be to encourage my brain to start thinking again after three months of holidays.

I really did. I thought that it would just be like, "Oh, here's something to study. I'll get right on that for you."

But its not. My brain keeps turning its head so that it doesn't have to look at the offending work. I've tried to be encouraging, gently nudging to towards the formation of paragraphs and plagal music phrases, but it will have non of it.

Every time I bring up the subject of work, like, "Everyone else in my uni class is complaining about the workload, and we still haven't done anything..." it distracts me.

"Oh! Lets look at the funny posts on Pinterest!"

"You haven't checked Facebook in 15 minutes. You should do that."

"Fine, I'll work. I'll check our university email. Again."

Actually, I'm doing it now. I should be writing a reflective piece of writing for my fundamentals of writing class, but this blog was on google, and google is my homepage, and blogger was calling me.

I don't know how many university people have told me NOT to leave assignments to the last minute. To that I say, "I don't need your advice, you multi-degree sought after university lecturer! I'm a first year! I've so got this."

I blame my brain.
