On Major Projects and Finals Week
Why do I always put things off until the last possible second? Procrastination can only get me so far (and look here I am doing some procrastination again) and it makes me sound lazy, look lazy, and feel like a moron of the highest order. As I'm typing this, I'm ignoring a research paper due this afternoon. It's a five page paper on Crisis Intervention in schools and I'm already done half a page. You read that right, half a page out of five. Lucky guess to those who think, well, at least her introduction paragraph is done. Now I have to write the four and a half pages I'm missing, the bulk of the essay. I do have my sources: three journal articles and a training workbook. I only need two for this paper, but I didn't even find the journal articles until last night. I haven't read them yet, all I know is they come from a scholarly source.
If this doesn't sound bad enough to you, I also have my observation journal due today. Basically, I have to type up all the notes I took at my field placement this semester and put them in a nice binder thing. Hurray! Or not. I never reflected on those days and the teacher doesn't only want observation notes, despite it being an observation journal. Whatever. Small paragraphs for the ten days I went in. The troubling part of this is the fact that this is ALSO due at the same time as that paper for the same class. The same class I had a group presentation due yesterday.
On a more positive note, I got nine hours of sleep last night. It almost makes up for the fact that I only got six hours combined between Tuesday night and Wednesday night.
