Cause 2a

                I stare at my laptop screen as the cursor blinks in almost excited anticipation to do its job; nothing happens.  My mind wanders off in a million different directions, unable to concentrate on the task at hand.  How did I allow myself to get into this situation?  I feel a bit of nausea building in my stomach and my heart begins to pump faster.   I am so far behind in my English 101 work that it is making me sick from stress.  I think about it more and understand why I am where I am!
