Well That Didn't Work

18 BOOKS AND EIGHT HOURS LATER...
Well, I had a fun weekend. Due to my 102F fever and the cough, flem, sneezing, sniffing, and sore throat that accompanied it, I decided to quarantine myself in my room and get some rest. So, from Friday night to this morning, I left my room solely for bathroom runs, downed a full carton of orange juice, probably overdosed on Alka Seltzer (if that's possible,) and did homework...I had a lot of work...

Anyway, I'm feeling better now, thank God! All that I've got now is a harsh cough, but it doesn't hurt to breath anymore so I'm content with it. My mom wants me to come home for Passover this weekend. I'd really like to go (though I wouldn't really be looking forward to seeing my extended family,) but I have a huge paper due on Monday. If I finish it by Friday afternoon (or at least most of it,) I'll go home.

It's not going well.

I've been sitting in lounge of the 7th floor (I've taken over, lmao...18 books sprawled out over a table alongside 12 pages of handwritten notes and my laptop) since 2 o'clock (working the ENTIRE time, I swear)this afternoon and you know what I've got? Half of my introduction--the introduction!

"If we take psychology back to its root - the study of the soul - the connection between religion and psychology is as old as human history itself. Though originally complimentary to the one another, today, the relationship between the two disciplines is greatly conflicted. Psychology has often viewed religion as a repressive mechanism that interferes with personal grown while many religious leaders view psychology with suspicion. Pope Leo XIII's encyclical on modernism mentioned the potential destructive effects of psychotherapy and psychological theories of human behavior upon the emergence of such studies at end of the 19th century (Gillespie 23-24). In the extreme of this conflict, scientific psychology and Judeo-Christian perspectives are at odds and locked in a struggle to capture the minds of humanity. Regardless of the church's view of psychology, due its extremely influential nature, psychologists will continue to study its impact on the human psyche for years to come. "

My thesis isn't even in that. I'm screwed and, as always, it's not in the good way. Comments ()
