I am having trouble concentrating. I am trying to make my presentation coherent. At first, I couldn't figure out how to make it concise. Then I went and cut out huge chunks that were not really important. Then I wasn't sure if I could make it long enough. Now, I really don't like how it is organized and I am trying to fix it. I was off to such a good start yesterday that i was kind of hping that I would be done with this part by now, but I'm not, and it is annoying me. I did have other things I wanted to at least *Start* this weekend, like reading the book we are discussing on Thursday in Carl's class. I was hoping I would have more time this week to look over the stuff I need to for my Babits paper, and maybe actually *write* this one. Now, I'm not so sure. I keep feeling like I am missing something, or like there is something more important (or possibly just *interesting*) that I should or could be doping. Its making me anxious and, to repeat myself, I can't concentrate. I've been checking livejournal like an addict, in the hopes that it will give me some kind of satisfaction, but so far there is nothing. It feels like there is something left unfinished, like I am waiting for some kind of *conclusion*, or closure to something. I wish I knew what it was, so that I could get on with things. Maybe it is just that I've been in front of the computer too long today, but I need to do work, and this is where I need to do it. I wish I had something I could do that *was* different, and still useful somehow, to break me out of this mindset, but I'm at a loss.
