Summer is nearby and I certainly am welcoming it with open arms. In fact, I have denounced all winter clothing and now only sport flip flops around campus. Even when it is very cold outside. Tonight, even, I will probably wear flip flops to class. I guess it's psychological...perhaps I think summer weather will come sooner if I dress that way.
With this anticipation comes a lack of motivation to do any work. Any work. Irony of all ironies, I have more work now than I have had all semester. This is quite a predicament. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation, you may want to look for distractions in anything. For instance, sometimes I rearreange my dorm furniture the night before a major paper is due so that I will not have to start it at a reasonable hour. You get the picture.
So, if you are looking for such a distraction, try going to http://wordbrew.com/. It is the blog of a writing group from Ambler, PA. Sometimes they have some weird science-fictiony kind of stuff (it's not always my thing, but sometimes it's okay) but most of the time their work is pretty good. Both my brother and cousin belong to the group, and their work is good. Check it out if you are bored! (Or want to escape the claws of schoolwork)

I feel the exact same way about flip flops, but I won't be wearing mine tonight, I need a pedicure first. I also get distracted whenever I have a project due. I haven't tried rearranging furniture, but I do clean out my closets.
I wish I could wear my flip flops to work. Stupid business casual dress code. I typically wear my Old Navy $3 flip flops everywhere (except for work, I have one pair brown shoes and one black). I cannot wait for flip flop weather!
As for not getting work done, i frequent Scrabulous.com. Yes, I am a big nerd and play scrabble online. It is a wonderful way to kill a few hours.
i'm the opposite in that i need to get all my work done before i move onto something to distract me - otherwise i get really stressed and start to freak out - but whatever works for you is good too! (and i cannot wait for summer)
I cannot wait for the summmer because it is the greatest time of year. No work, no papers, and all rest and relaxation with friends and family. Then I can have all the distractions I want to have.
I do need to get a new pair of flip flops
