Hmmm...

Ok so I haven't updated this in forever. Life's been crazy.

We have finals in two weeks, and since next week is dead week, EVERYTHING is due this week. Seriously. EVERYTHING.

I've been going nuts.

I also ordered my books for next semester...it's gonna be at least $400. Ugh.

On a brighter note, I found out that my last final is on Tuesday of finals week, so that means I'm on break from December 15 to January 11. I love college =)

Except I'm probably not going to have anything to do for like a month. I should really get a job.

Tip of the Day: Don't turn in first drafts of important papers. Yeah, I BS papers the night before they're due and it usually turns out ok. I found out that the first draft of my English paper would've been "on the line between a D and a C." Revision is a good idea.

Procrastination...

I have a 4 page English paper due tomorrow morning. I have one paragraph done. It's 10:11 pm, central time.

It's going to be a long night.

It's not that I try to put stuff off. I really don't. It's just really hard for me to sit and focus on something, especially if there's no pressure to get it done. And let's face it, homework is rarely fun or interesting. So I put it off as long as I can.

Either that or I start and then get too overwhelmed with too much stuff to do and just quit.

I got overwhelmed and quit and went on a run about 2 hours ago. It was a nice break and wonderful stress relief. But now I'm supposed to be writing a paper and I can't even think straight enough to crank anything out. So I'm blogging and facebooking the night away! It's much more enjoyable.

I'm going to fail at college.

Actually, that's an overstatement. I'm actually a really good student, I just have really bad study habits. I did this in high school too. I could never bring myself to start big, important assignments in advance, and usually started them late the night before they were due. I almost think I work better at 1 am. Or it could be I'm just so out of it by then I don't really realize what I'm doing....

:sigh:
