Motivated in all the wrong places

I was going to work on my thesis yesterday. I really was. Then suddenly, then of all times, I got inspired about how to do a little scene in Asunder (latest fic project). So I decided to work for an hour on that... and next thing I knew it was 2:30am and I had five more scenes plus the entire general layout written. And no thesis work done whatsoever. Great news for people like thunderphoenix, who I know have been waiting for the completed version, but really bad for my thesis progress. Especially since now I'm too exhausted to even think straight.

I'm beginning to wonder if I should just drop from the project entirely. There are other people on the team, and I seem to be, if anything, holding them back. I've already had to apply for a personal thesis extension, while the overall project deadline remains steady at about two weeks from now. And it's not like a thesis is required to graduate; it just gives me that nice pretty "With Honors" slapped on the diploma. Not to mention the team leader probably couldn't get more fed up at me...

...then again, maybe it's just the exhaustion talking. *sighs* I'm meeting with the team in about half an hour anyway... we'll see what happens.

    I'm finding this five YEARS after you posted it, which 1) proves your point; & 2) gives me an ouchie.

    "Heart of Gold" provides another, absurdly obvious example of this. Inara catches Mal leaving another woman's bed, and acts as if nothing is wrong. Her work "keeps her from being a prude" about sex,…

    I have finished my first run (with Dara) so here's what I've got. (I'll try to be vague for the readers who haven't played yet.)

    Dara: The escape from Virmire. For the first time she had to make a…

    Nah, if she's one of the stupid alignments, she's Stupid Good.

    Once you've finished playing though the game at least once and will know, what's the hardest decision each character had (will have) to make? How would making that decision and seeing the results of…
