First draft of my senior thesis is DONE.

During the process of writing it, sometimes I would start to feel really overwhelmed and unhappy. When that happened, I would try to break the project down into very small segments and reassure myself about how do-able it was. Then I would add, "Totally do-able. Like your mom!" Usually there wasn't anyone else present for me to insult their mother, but I would still laugh like mad and feel better.

Hypothetical "Your Mom" jokes: The key to my preserved sanity.

Some might argue otherwise.

I can totally relate to this. I was getting frustrated writing a cover letter last night, so to lighten the mood a bit I would stick random sexual vocabulary. I would wind up talking about things like my "throbbing experience" and taking "sensual intiative" before inviting the subject of the cover letter to SUCK MY COCK. I didn't send the letter out like that, but it made me laugh and helped me complete it. :)

That's so awesome! I think I just want to incorporate this coping mechanism into everything. I just now printed out my epic St. Mary's project to turn in, and had to make multiple attempts to punch holes into it. During the process I was thinking, "Man, my throbbing SMP is simply too swollen to fit into this little hole punch, so this will take some delicate maneuvering and positioning."

This seems fitting. I'm sure a lot of people project themselves into SMPs in a similar fashion. I hear people talking about how massive their projects are all the time.
