Confession #102
I have been so unproductive this week.
Monday was a bad day. I had a meeting for my speech (which is this coming Monday) in the evening, and I had my big teaching presentation the next morning (Tuesday). I was so anxious and on edge all day, even though I tried not to be. And I was pretty productive, too, by necessity.
After I finished my presentation, I didn’t have anything big due for the rest of the week, just some small things and a huge amount of finish-up work to do for the upcoming end of the semester (12 days and counting!), including writing my speech that I’m giving Monday and which is worth 40% of my grade.
Yet in spite of all this looming pressure, I have been so lazy ever since I finished my presentation! All I’ve been doing is the bare minimum. I’ve been tired after babysitting Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, so I have just been chilling out in the evenings, which is not good at all. And then this afternoon was my first free afternoon this week, and I haven’t done anything academically productive! Argh… I am so over that spurt of momentum and motivation that spurred me on before Thanksgiving break.
Well, there you go - a glimpse into my very imperfect life. Now I need to go WORK. (One reason I am so unmotivated is because I don’t want to write this speech because it means thinking about giving the speech, which I’m very intimidated and scared about. You can pray for me if you think of it; I’d really appreciate that.)
Now, to turn the tables a little… if you’d like, share a confession/prayer request of your own, and if it’s a prayer request, I promise to pray for you. (I’m taking a leaf from Anne.)

Hey, Anna! That’s one of my characters names! Thanks for your comment. I will have to spend more time on your blog tonight when the munchkin goes to bed! :o)
As for prayer requests, pray for me to stop being so insecure, and to stop needing validation from men (my husband), and feel beautiful because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. :o)
Your sister,
Ashley
i would absolutely be honored if you could pray for me. i am struggling with the same stuff you are right now….
I really enjoy your blog. Would you consider adding mine to your blogroll?
Heather
I will too pray for any requests listed here.
I will keep you in my prayers. I just graduated from college last December, and I definitely remember this point of fall semester. Being motivated was difficult! I’m going through some huge life changes right now. Please pray for me to make the most of the time I have with my family now and to focus on what’s most important! I feel like I’m getting bogged down in the “planning” aspect of things. Thanks!
Hey Anna!! Thanks for commenting on my xanga!! We should get together and have a study session…let me know
