Still Procrastinating.

I am trying, very unsuccessfully, to write an astronomy paper for my spring class. I am not really a big fan of the class - mostly because there is far too much math and science for my English-oriented brain to process. It is as if my mind just shuts off whenever my teacher goes into the math and physics that is needed to understand the inner-workings of the universe.
My paper is actually very interesting. This might be hard to believe since the only reason you are reading this is because I am having trouble writing the paper.
The paper itself is on the astronomy of ancient civilizations. There is minimal math or science and I find the topic very interesting, so I am really not sure what the problem is. The outline says that it is to be "4-7 pages, illustrations encouraged" (and my teacher is an anomaly since he does not care about format and he likes wikipedia). In theory this should probably be the easiest paper I have ever written; a breeze compared to the 15 page Literature Criticism and Theory paper I had to write last semester. I believe that the fact of the matter is that I am simply lazy, and find writing about absolutely nothing more pressing then finishing it. This is a problem.

In other news, I am currently reading The Trial by Franz Kafka. It is so interesting! If you get a chance then you should definitely read it. I think that I am going to find a collection of his short stories to tackle next.
I also watched a movie called Tsotsi last night which was amazing. It is set in South Africa and was such a beautiful film. I watched it with my boyfriend, and we both really liked it. Both of us enjoying a film does not happen very often, so it was a little surprising, and it also causes a great deal of strife in the movie store when we are trying to rent a movie. In fact, we almost got in a fight last night while trying to decide on a movie. We are diplomatic enough to at least try and pick something we both will like, which means he does not pick up horror movies and I stay away from chick flicks and Shakespeare. This compromising, however, does not make our film-choosing endeavors any easier. He picks up Tsotsi and says what about this, to which I reply "sure." I guess I did not sound enthusiastic enough about it because he replied, "ok, never mind." Last time I checked, "Sure" meant "yes," but this is apparently not the case. Most girls have troubles with their boyfriends not reading enough into their words. I have the opposite problem. How do I tell him that he only sometimes needs to read between the lines. Man, now I sound temperamental and a little ridiculous.

I should probably stop procrastinating and actually write about the astronomy of the Incas, Mayans and Egyptians. You will probably hear from me before the paper is done though.
Cheers
