Pro Amandu

This is dedicated to Amanda because she is the one who asked.

Since coming to the Czech Republic, I have found myself becoming increasingly and increasingly unproductive. It is not that I do not want to complete my homework (actually that is part of it)--I really want my homework to be done, but without my effort. This leads to an intense bout of procrastination. Actually, it can hardly be called procrastination; it is prioritzing, and when in Prague, I must see Prague. Therefore, there are good excuses (in my mind) to not completing my homework.

I must say, though, that it is getting a bit wearing to say that I am going to be productive and then find myself, five hours later, staring at a nearly blank page where the only writing, at the top, lists the date and says "Art History Neo-Classical Notes." This lack of productivity is killing me and is, I think, part of the reason that I signed up for 20 credits next semester. To make up for my lack of drive and homework output this semester, I am overcompensating next semester. Right now, I am totally fine with this. Ask me again in three months and I'll tell you different.
