Writing Papers

I've often wondered why it was so hard to just sit down and write a paper. I mean, COME ON! Why can't I just make myself focus on one task. It seems like the only way I can make myself do something sometimes is to set a deadline and make myself do it. Otherwise, it won't get done. Like this paper I have to write. I already got an extension for it because my teacher didn't make it available until the day before it was due and said she would make an exception for some people. I wrote her and explained that I'm a busy girl and didn't have time to write it. I asked her if I could have it into her by Saturday. She said that was fine. I went online today to check out the prompt again, having forgotten it sent looking at it on Tuesday. I texted one of the girls in my class asking what it is. Do you want to know what the prompt is? WHAT IS LINGUISTICS. How much broader of a topic could that be? Then I learned that I have to have three sources. That better include the book or I'm fucking SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!! I really don't like the class anyway. Language isn't something that really interests me. I love English because I love reading and writing. I don't care about the actual make up of the English language. If I wanted to study languages, I would've chosen a language based major. As it is, I choose to be a teacher. I understand that teaching language is an important part of being a teacher since I'll have to teach kiddies about the different parts of speech and stuff like that, but I'm GOOD at that stuff. I don't understand why I have to learn about African American Vernacular English. What the bloody hell is that anyway? I know it's Ebonics, but why I do I have to learn about it? I understand we all have different standards of English, but I don't get why I have to learn about ALL of them. I'm not a language student, and I don't care to learn about different languages. Just teach me how to teach children about it, and I'll be happy. Ok. I guess I should go research and write my paper now. Good night.
