A Weak Finish

rms10I'm almost done with The Birth of Venus, by Sarah Dunant, but I might not even finish it. It's okay, but I only picked it up because The Plot Against America was too depressing to read during the holidays. I did finish The Christmas Mystery, by Jostein Gaarder, and I wasn't crazy about that, either. Like Sophie's World, it has a great, strong premise, interesting plot, but a total crap finish.
Such is my life right now. I'm stuck on finishing a paper, and there were some revisions I should have finished over break, but . . . I didn't. I didn't do a damn thing over break, except read astro-ph. I don't know if I'm feeling overwhelmed by what I have to do, but the worst of it is over -- I just have to expand my write-up of the project. It's not that hard, but I'm somehow paralyzed by it. I'm just sick of this project, and I want it to be OVER so I can work on my thesis project. Sigh. I can do this. This happens to me all the time, and I need to change that, and become a strong finisher.
And Michigan LOST in the Rose Bowl, by a last-minute field goal. Ugh.
