how do you start a fire when there's nothing to burn

I have two papers due on Monday. Not cool. I'll write one tomorrow and one Sunday. Then one due on Tuesday (I think), which I'll do on Monday. Then the next week I have two more, plus three presentations. If I live through the next two weeks, it will be a miracle.

Luckily I'll have the fic done tonight. It's not as good as I'd hoped it would be, but then again, nothing ever is. At least it will be done and I won't feel like an ass.

*sigh*

Le suck.
