Downward spiralling motivation

Ergh.

Why is it that in the face of having heaps and heaps to do, I get these extended periods of lethargy and zero motivation which prompt me to want to do nothing but bum around on the net and read other people's blogs, or alternatively, Television Without Pity, the SMH, or News.com.au, or sometimes, when I'm really out of things to read, EOnline??

I have my essay to do, which I am rapidly running out of time for.
I have a myriad of graduate applications to apply for.
I have uni readings to get through.

Oh, I also have an Intellectual and Industrial Property assignment to download which I forgot about til I mentioned uni readings.

And here I sit, blogging to nobody in particular, about nothing in particular.

ARGH!!
