I give up

This paper is just not coming along.  I swear, it's like each word is being torn out my brain.  Gah!  I think I'll just have to turn it in late and work on it over the weekend.  Damnit, I really wanted to get this over with and just be able to relax this weekend.  Stupid brain!

Sorry to hear that. What's the paper on, anyway?

I've got three chapters of genetics to go and I'll be damned if I stop now...

It's on societal expectations for beauty and how it's influences in fashion and the media create unhealthy body perceptions and body dysmorphic disorders. I know this paper should be so easy to write, and I have all the information I need, but for some reason the words just. Won't. Come! I'm about to tear my hair out, trying to figure out how to put everything I have in some semblance of order.
*Sigh*

I'm going to try. I won't give up quite yet, but it's looking like it won't be finished tonight, and I don't know if I'll have enough time tomorrow. Dangit, this paper should be so easy to write, and it's turning out to be one of the hardest.

*Whimper*

wow...just reading that I feel a rant about body-image coming on. Here, you should watch this:

Vampire Bear on Self-Esteem

(a friend of mine, [livejournal.com profile] gordond, makes those, and I adore that bear!)

have you tried doing point form, then roughing in all the bits you want to talk about, then fleshing out each paragraph? That was what I always did, rather than trying to write the whole thing at once.

But other than that: COURAGE!! You can pull off an educational miracle. I have faith in you!

LOL! I wish I did. I have tried doing such a format with other papers, but it just doesn't work for me. Apparently, my brain demands I do things the hard way.
