trying to study
This is the product of a day spent trying to study. There's three cans of soft drink, one is from yesterday when I tried so hard but failed to study. There's a box of tiny teddies, probably only with a few left in it. There's a half eaten bar of chocolate. There some nail polish, because my nails are now yellow. There's my notebook that has my homeworks written in it. There's my phone because I've been messaging Mark on his breaks. Near my phone is the printed out article that has taken me weeks to get around to reading. I didn't understand the first half but I understood the second half, which was good because I only needed to talk about one part.
I've listened to four lectures today, and written up one homework after finishing reading that article. I've played probably nearly twenty games of solataire and surfed Facebook, Bebo, OpenDiary and LiveJournal at intervals during the day. I've watched one episode of Smallville and an episode and a half of House while cooking and eating lunch. I've done a spin cycle of wet clothes from the rain and rewashed a towell that got dirty from the rain. I've contemplated doing the washing up and cleaning the study, both just because I have some study to do and I'd take any reason not to study. But I've gotten through it and listened to the four lectures I had to and am up to date with the homeworks. I still need to go and watch something to document, and I'm thinking I might hang around at the centre after work tomorrow. For my fourth homework I get to make an origami swan and write down how I figured out how to do it and what I did that wasn't in the instructions. This unit sounds really easy, and it is, I just lack motivation.
It's taken me six hours to listen to three forty minute lectures and one twenty minute lecture. I could have just gotten it all over and done with but I had to do all the time wasting things in between. It's not quite the last minute yet, but I really don't want to be panicking on Wednesday night because I work all day Thursday and won't have the capacity to cope. Is this maybe the first time I'm trying to get something done before the due date? It might just be.
