Jurassic Park Paper

Today my entire focus was centered on doing one thing, my jurassic park paper. I knew that if I got that done then the rest of the weekend would be manageable, with all my other assignments falling into place on Sunday. The paper was the only MAJOR assignment I had, and I knew it would take some time to complete. Starting yesterday, I prepared for this paper, organizing my thoughts into what I was going to write, what my sources would be, my main points, EVERYTHING. Thats how I write papers, in the days and hours before I actually start the ideas cycle through my head like a merry go round. The problem is getting all those sentences and statements to blend into something people can actually read. I have no problem SAYING what I'm talking about, but writing it down properly has always been a weakness of mine. Thanks to the preparation however I was able to knock the paper off the old checklist by 4:00 today, but what has me so irked is how I feel now that its done. I have nothing else I have to do today or tonight, I'm completely free to do whatever I desire, but the problem is that I have no desire to do ANYTHING. It is now just after 8 as I write this blog and I could go to bed RIGHT NOW. For some strange reason I'm hit by this horrible apathy. I spent most of the morning staring at the computer with my notes and sources spread out on the floor, knowing what I had to accomplish, and now I can't think of anything. The major problem I think is that all I could think of when I imagined this day is that darn paper, and now that it's done, I can't think of anything else I want to do. It has been affecting me all day, even when I'm sitting at lunch with my cross country buds, I can't think of a single thing to say, it's bothering the hell out of me. Maybe it's just the stress of college getting to me a little bit, or maybe the fact that today was my day off from running. Even during the summer I was never the same on my days off and maybe thats whats affecting me. From now on, I'm going to try doing SOME form of physical exercise on my off days. I've heard stories of athletes behaving weird on days off, perhaps just doing SOMETHING physical will make sure days like this don't happen again. As for tonight though..........I got nothing.
