And when they're even UNASSESSED essays I just can't muster up the inspiration to get anything done until the night before. Currently pretending to be working on an essay about gender roles in Dracula, it's the simplest take on any book ever and I've even done a presentation on it, but still I've only got half a page of notes.

If anyone else is despairing over similar situations then this is the place to vent your frustration (with yourself or the essays, or both)
