FGT strikes again

This holiday I have mostly been going to bed at 4am and waking up at noon. I tried to fight it, honestly I did, but by my first Monday off I was nocturnal.

So I have taken to working from 1pm to 3am. Do not be fooled by the long hours. I am incredibly unproductive. Yesterday, I'd estimate I did ten minutes' work.

I woke up this morning (okay, afternoon) and checked my university email.

There it was.

Dear Billygean

I am back now. I thought we were meeting on the 24th. Therefore if you want anything marked by me you need to get it to me tonight. Midnight.

Fabulously Gay Tutor

I checked my watch. 1:15. Great. My entire dissertation. In less than 12 hours.

Rather worringly what upset me most was that I would DEFINITELY have to achieve something today. It would appear I am So Unproductive that I do not like to commit to actually producing something on any given day.

Dear FGT

Midnight it is.

Billygean

He of course emails back immediately.

Dear BG

Fine

FGT

Honestly he's so difficult.

I spend an hour or so making drinks and convincing myself that it's just a touch of editing and it won't take long. 11 hours, 8 cups of coffee later and I had well and truly abandoned my Attention Deficit Disorder and produced something to send to him.

I have no idea whether it's any good or not. I am way past caring. Thank God it's (another) draft.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of the end. I have to revise negligence and criminal law and next Monday is the start of the revision lectures. By which time I was going to Know Everything and Be Sorted.

I am NOT. There is TOO MUCH TO KNOW.

I have not done enough work.

And I worked SO HARD all year.

I think I am - how do you say - Royally Fooked.
