rone | fourteen years later, i still suck

This winemaking class is kicking my ass. I've rediscovered my intense distaste for writing papers which, combined with my mildly improved but still chronic procrastination habit, has left me in a hole, depressed and ashamed. I'm not even certain that what i'm being asked to do has enough relevance with what i'm learning; i understand the fundamentals and the process of making wine, but the papers and midterms have been centered around extreme situations that are, in my view, advanced topics. These are all things i could have brought up to the teacher and TA if i had gotten an earlier start on things. Despite the fact that the first two weeks of the class were a total loss for me due to things at work hitting full-bore, i didn't try hard enough to acquaint myself with the difficulty level of the class. Now i'm trying to tread water.

It's not a lost cause yet, and i believe i can earn a passing grade. But i wasn't ready for this, and at this point i'm regretting taking the class.
