Symptoms: Excessive laziness, short attention span, irregular sleeping patterns... Diagnosis: Senioritis

So, I kind of feel like I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Its the final stretch of spring semester, and I have an insane amount of work to complete in the next week or so. For my social work class I have to write a 20-25 page paper about my family. We learned about this on our first day of class in January, but do you think I've even thought about it until now? That would be a big N-O. It will be literally impossible for me to do my usual procrastination routine, so I have to break my four-year pattern of starting/completing things the night before they're due, and start to work on it soon. Hopefully my friend Justine, who also has to write the paper, will help motivate me to get it all done ASAP.

That's the thing... there's kind of a lack of motivation at this point. I mean, don't get me wrong, I want to do well in my last semester at Suffolk, but I've just been officially accepted into all of my grad school programs for the fall! Its hard to focus on writing a paper when I can be thinking about which path I want my life to take in the next few years. Should I move to NYC or will Boston be my home for the next three years? Do I definitely want to be a school psychologist, or should I get a more flexible degree?? Will I really be able to turn down Harvard, if that's what it comes down to?? See, there's actually a lot going on in my mind; I'm not just suffering from a bad case of Senioritis out of sheer laziness. Or that's how I'm going to rationalize it to myself...

No but seriously, I need some help here, folks. My choices are Tufts (MA/CAGS in School Psych), Harvard (M.Ed in Risk and Prevention) and Columbia (M.Ed/CAGS in School Psych). Any thoughts???
