haha 
though its a bad thing because its helping me distract myself and procrastinate... stupid papers. Why is it that i have no problem writing a realpoor response, but im struggling so much with writing my essays so that they're even at the level of a caveman or something?

Thresholdfear Hunnybunny.
Dunno if that's a term in English, but it's literally translated from the Dutch term ;p
You either want to do ridiculously well or you are insecure about what you want to write thus creating a high threshold of expectation you have to get over to start.
That, or you're just bored with it and being lazy ;p
If it's the first: remember it doesn't have to be perfect immediately. Write whatever comes up in your mind. Can always re-write or add details/look up things later.

its basically a combination of all of those + lack of sleep... the good news is that i have a draft (well.. i actually probably wont get around to revising it.. so a finished product) for my econ paper...
the bad news is that its 6:30 am, and i still have one more essay to write before this afternoon plus 3 papers to revise plus an essay quiz on something i didnt read for my first class.... the strange thing is that its so much easier to get stuff done with pressure

It's called motivation 
I know how you feel. Keep on trucking though.
I had the same thing with my thesis. First I procrastinated for the better part of 2 years, then I wrote some 150 pages in 6 weeks...
Just gotta get motivated.
G'luck.

Hah, must be a personality type. I literally go weeks, often months at work without doing a thing, not one single thing (other than socialize and tell other people how do do their work better). Then I'll work 18 hours a day and do a 2-4 month project in a week or so, or a shorter project in a weekend.
I go back and forth between it being a self-discipline problem, or a necessary part of the creative process.
