why, brain? why?

Why is it I always seem to be at my most creative when I have other things to do?
I currently have two three-thousand word essays and a ten-minute powerpoint presentation that need to be finished and handed-in within the next three weeks, and all I can think about is craft, painting and writing! Academic motivation is currently at an all time low, and all I want to do is get started on all the cute Christmas present ideas I’ve been coming up with...  My brain even managed to detangle a lovely science-fiction type storyline that’s been haphazardly forming in my brain for the last year, all right when I have absolutely no time to sew or put pen to paper (metaphorically, of course, since years of typing has reduced my handwriting to something akin to ancient hieroglyphics).
I’ll bet anything this creativity will have completely disappeared by the time I hand in my last assignment too… Stupid brain, sometimes I hate you!
