Battles with Executive Dysfunction

The metaphorical devil on my shoulder: "You know, you don't have to do that final paper for Intro to Human Services. You've got enough extra credit to cover 30% of it, and that'll probably be enough to keep your grade in the low 'A's. And even if it's not, would a 'B' really be so bad?"

Me: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, I did not go through two semesters doing every piece of homework assigned to fail at the final stretch, I am doing this shit, even if I only manage the bare minimum!"

Metaphorical devil on my shoulder: "Okay, jeez, lighten up! It was just a suggestion!"

Me: *already ignoring the devil and refocusing on the paper*


I refuse to let this paper win 😤

Edit: Paper completed and submitted! With this, I have officially done all graded homework for my back-to-school career. I am very proud of myself.

Yessss, you did it!! 🎉🎉🎉 Well done :D

[soc_puppet]

Thank you! There was a brief period of time when I realized I got my math wrong and my extra credit was actually good for 60% percent of the final paper, but I persevered!

[peasina]

Even more impressive that you finished it! <3

Yay!

I'm glad you did it. Grade point may not matter now, but there's a good chance it will later.

Thank you 😊 Also, it turns out I was wrong and the final paper was only about 5% of my total grade, not 10%, but that just means I'm extra proud of myself for sticking with it even though the stakes were lower than I initially thought.
