In which I share my stern teacher look (and my favorite methods of procrastinating)

Sunny days off are for partying meeting with friends hiking blogging working.

I sat down to work on my Teacher Work Sample (my equivalent of a senior thesis) yesterday. It's pages and pages of student characteristics, lesson plans, assessment and analysis. So obviously, on these crucial work days a week and a half before it's due, this is how it went:

2:00 two hours of solid worktime (I don't have ADD, I don't have ADD, I don't have ADD)

4:00 drink of water

4:02 check time

4:03 check time again

4:06 eat a rice cake, check time

4:10 burst of productivity

4:50 resist checking facebook, contemplate change of career

4:54 is there a career that doesn't require a massive write-up to show you're competent? 

4:55 another rice cake, check time

4:59 slip into deep funk of despair. I'll never graduate, and also I am a terrible human being. Etc.

5:06 stand up, stretch, jump around for a while, work for another hour

You know. So it goes. 

And then the grand double-spacing gesture at the end! I love that double-spacing and the magical effect is has on my page numbers. Hashtag lezbehonest. Hashtag pretendingimahashtaghipster.

And now, because this doesn't have anything to do with my teacher work sample other than the fact that I wore it to parent teacher conferences, an outfit! I'm not a fashion blogger by any means, but I do like to document my daily style, along with the other parts of my life I record here. Thank you, as always, for reading along!

(my stern teacher look, apparently?)

Any magical tips for getting huge papers written up?

What's your favorite method of procrastination?
