Procrastination is my middle name

I just got back from the post office. I had stupidly misread the instructions on the grad school application and thought that the deadline for sending in transcripts and personal statement was next week, 04/17/07, but when I reread it this morning I realized that it was actually 04/14/07, THIS SATURDAY. So I had to go pick up my transcripts and then hotfoot it down to the post office so I could express mail everything.

The price of procrastination = $14.40.

Hello,

Anybody here using any books (not time managment stuff) that work on the emotional roots of procrastination? (I recently found the one by Burka/Yuen - it really good)

I had a Swedish project due two months ago.

I still haven't started working on it.

Beat that, man.

...but I had a Fatburger chicken sandwich. It was pretty good, but sort of pricey. I would give it a 7.5/10.

So this whole past week I've been procrastinating up a storm, partly due to laziness, with a few pressing social engagements, and a heaping bit of depression. The depression was due to the fact we are still hailing to the chimp, and it floored me for a couple of days.

I could have spent my weekend studying for my statistics test, or the math homework due on monday, or the astronomy lab write-up due this week. But no, I spent two days watching TV and being lazy, and the others hanging out with friends. Sunday night and monday morning I got a bunch of math done, monday afternoon I did more math and some astronomy, which I didn't finish, then went through a full day of class till after 10 PM, durring which time I probably got a C on a math test I should haveaced because I didn't study half the stuff.

I then went and purchased a Fatburger chicken sandwich and began writing a speech, how to tie-dye, for public speaking class that I just finished at 4AM tuesday. Along the way I was distracted by That 70's show and Friends, but lamentably not distracted by food anytime after the sandwich. I still haven't finished, or even started, the 6 chapters of reading for the speech class, and there's more math to be done for wednesday. I also have been delaying calling my friend in Santa Cruz because I always tell myself that I am too busy, which would be fine if I was busy, but then I end up watching TV or surfing the net. I'll call her tomarrow, I swear. Oh yeah, and I haven't even begun on my college applications due this month.

Lookie ! I just wasted another 20 minutes I could very much use for sleep, considering I wake up at 10 AM tomarrow !

Tis almost 4 in the morning, and I have a S%#@load of stuff to do for a single class tomarrow at 2.
*I have to finish a 3 page paper on lessons I learned from a book my professor assigned
*Make up a months' worth of "daily gratitude" journals, writing 5 things we're thankful for each day.
*Write a pretend love letter
*Write a list of the qualities of our perfect mate
*I just finished making a dessert for a potluck lunch celebrating the end of the class (it was only an 8 week class)

If these sound like funny asignments, it's an "interpersonal communication" class, not the average by a longshot. All the same, I've known about the paper and the journals for two months, and I've known about the other stuff for the past week. But, naturally, I'm getting it all done today !

I also have to get a bunch of other stuff pulled together to apply for a particular scholarship, and attend a university transfer workshop. Oye.

And, of course, on top of all of that, I'm taking the time to read a couple of articles on slashdot and post this unproductive entry !

Yay me ! Hope i make it...

I was planning on taking a trip to Japan in September but I can't seem to find my passport. I know I should take some action but my passport doesn't expire for at least another 4 years so I'm loathe to pay $100+ for a new one and getting it expedited. I keep thinking, I'll find it, but I keep putting off looking for it. Grr!

I'm taking a summer school class that only meets 2 hours a day. This week class was cancelled b/c the teacher was out of town. He left a web-assignment for us to do, answer two questions on a book we're reading with 250 word answers, then make three short responses to other students answers. It's easy stuff, and I had a week to write the answers, and a month to read the medium sized novel, BUT being the true procrastinator that I am I waited till the last day to read over 200 pgs. of the book and just made the midnight deadling for the questions at 11:57. Hooray for fruitful slacking !
