Case of the Mondays

I need to write shorter blogs. Besides the fact that longer blogs are obviously more time consuming and take away from other ways to unwind, I've recently been told that people aren't reading all of it. So from now on, I'll be, for lack of a better word, brief.

It was my birthday on Friday, which meant I spent the entire weekend in a state of mind that wasn't exactly conducive to professionalism. And because of my actions, I'm now forced to pay for it this upcoming week. I've got a significant writing assignment due Tuesday which has been confusing, to say the least. I'm normally on top of that sort of thing, but I've been perplexed by the lack of direction given to me and my fellow colleagues.

(Doesn't 'colleagues' sound so much better than 'classmates?' I think so.)

I'll spend tommorow and most of Tuesday morning hammering out the best work I can, but I'm positive that it won't be nearly as polished as the peice I'll be able to write once I actually learn what I'm supposed to do. While I asusme that's standard operating procedure, I wonder if I'm going to feel some artificially inflated sense of 'improvement' after I compare the critiques of this first submission with the eventual second. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
