Day 1

Hello.

Today i sit in front of my window, and stare at some trees or something.

I have a lot of work to do, in my dissertation. It's due on the 10th of March which gives me a little over 2 weeks to write it.

I'm not sure if I can do it, and i am terrified inside. My problem is not in the intellectual department.

mY lack of motivation can be characterised as a feeling of being disconnected. i'm here at university, the place i believed to hold my dreams of happiness and parties and shit.

But it's been nothing but a huge dissapointment, a place where i have to continue to not exist. Something has died inside of me, my reality within is not tangible, the cross over between who i am and reality requires my imagination, and my imagination died a long tiome ago.

Right now, my house mate kelly has cleaned our house, and I cannot do anything without fear that i will create any mess, and be confronted. i cannot bear confrontation.

My dissertation is about public interest immunity and how its used in the criminal justice system. basically a criminal has evidence witheld from them because it is not in the public interest to reveal it to them, for instance the identity of an informer.

Any how, I'm gonna go smoke a ciggarette, in the hope that lung cancer can finish me before i have to be confronted by the fact that i might have to do it myself. its just easier that way, denial often is. After my cigarrette i will try and comence on my paper again, and see what happens. I have to at least give it a shot.

ha this is funny becasue i think i no exactly how you feel and i think everyone as a pointless human has experienced this feeling. also you seem to be procrastinating. as i am doing now on this shitty site. i have a bloody lot of work to do but would rather waste every empty depressed moment of the day so that i can fuck up my head by doing shitty work in the night so that it will be terrible and in the morning i will feel like death. just thought id let you know what i tohught when i read this even though im sure you dont care....and ive wasted a fair amount of time writing that which is the basic point of it also/ i hope you find the motivation to fulfull your potential. but then again what is a potential just something society has dreamed up to allow us to feel content about our lives
