I gotta finish this damn computer game.

God, I’m restless; I want everything to start happening now. I want to fast-forward through the next five months of grueling work and just be there.

I have no excuse for slacking off. As Adam Derman once told me in a letter (about Karateka): “You dumb shit. You’ve dug your way deep into an active gold mine and are holding off from digging the last two feet because you’re too dumb to appreciate what you’ve got and too lazy to finish what you’ve started.”
