Writer’s Block

I have writer’s block, so I’m trying a method that I heard about once from someone who talked about their mother who was a teacher.  This person never had writer’s block because their mother made them write even if they thought they had nothing to write about.  I have a midterm due for Descriptive Cataloging tonight and my practice portfolio and presentation due on Wednesday.  I really have no time for dilly dallying and yet here I am, doing it.  I also keep checking my email, which has constantly frustrated me today.  I don’t know what my problem is.  I guess I should just go and do what I should be doing.  I feel gross. Lost.  I think I am just feeling uneasy because this is it. The end of my program.  If I fail, I fail and the past two years will have been for nothing.  It’s gone by terribly quickly.  I feel as if I’ve done a lot and yet nothing at all.  I guess that’s the way it is when you’re in the middle of it.  I also feel like I need a gimmick or something to get and keep people’s attention while presenting my portfolio. 

It seems fake and yet I think is what people remember about people’s portfolio.  I know a good number of people in the department feel that the portfolio presentation is a retarded and unnecessary part of the program.  I have mixed feelings about it.  I think it is difficult to me to think about because the whole time I’ve been part of the program, I have been constantly working.
