the corner office

Ergh. The same thing happened last year, and it's happening this year. I seem to have a real mental block when it comes to Formal Logic. It's not that the subject is too difficult, but it does require focus, and mental effort. For whatever reason, and more than any of my other subjects, I just can't get into it.

I think a big part of it is that, knowing that my assignments are so late, my natural inclination is to want to rush through the work as quickly as possible, to get the assignments done. The problem is that the subject matter is such that it needs to slowly seep through one's synapses, in order to make sense. You have to digest each sentence before continuing with the next, or run the risk of getting completely lost. In the end, the conflict between the pressure of having to get work done, and the frustration that comes from not taking it slow and steady, means that I end up procrastinating and avoiding the work, more than anything else.

Back to work...
