Limbo and Purgatory

Limbo :

1) (in the Roman Catholic religion) a place which is neither heaven nor hell where the souls of those who have not done evil may go after death, even though they were not Christians during their life
2) a state of uncertainity : I am in limbo, waiting to know whether or not I've got the job.

Purgatory :

1) (especially according to the Roman Catholic religion) a state or place in which the soul of a dead person must be made pure by suffering for wrong-doing on Earth, until it is fit to enter heaven
2) (often humor) a place, state or time of great suffering: It's purgatory listening to Tim's attempts to play the guitar.

Shame on me !

Shame on me! I do everything except sitting down and concentrating on my paper. It seems I am not brave enough to face the reality! The topic is very difficult for me and I am really confused. The day when I chose it, I was just interested in it but now I know it is not easy at all to write such thing in English (for me of course !). I escape from it every moment. But next week I suppose to hand in the table of content and a suggested bibliography together with the first page of the paper (to assure her that we are in a right direction). O Time! Make yourself longer!
O Nature! Make me somehow focus on reading the related articles! O Internet! Be away from me these days.
