Anyone want to make me do my homework?

I logged on here because I actually felt the need to vent about something that I didn't care if people commented back or not on... Myspace seems like the venue for "see me, look at me" and this is mostly just me venting stalling....but since it's been a long time since i was last logged in I got easily distracted in catching up on missed friend's posts and completely forgot the reason I wanted to post. :( *sigh*

Probably has something to do with my self-destruction. I procrastinate. I'm sure so does most everyone else. But I'm fully aware of my procrastination. I actually get frustrated when I can't find something else to keep me busy instead of doing whatever more important thing I need to do. Why do you think I finally logged back into livejournal? I ran out of anything else.

My first semester of school is getting closer to the end. Finals are only days away. I have an important english research paper due monday. I've known about it for over a month now. I have yet to start it. In theory I finally picked a topic, but I only half-assedly (yes it's a word for today's sake) gathered research info. The paper in itself shouldn't be hard. I have enough to just get it done.....so why haven't I?

I also have a Psych take-home test. Test, not quiz. I haven't even read the chapters it's on yet. Weeeeeeee......

My mom was kind enough to send me some study materials (aka. ritalin). She has ADD. I...I'm just lazy. I haven't taken one yet. This has been the first time I've actually considered it. But to be honest, I'm a little nervous/scared. Not being a big fan of taking any kind of drugs or pills (including aspirin or cough syrup), I read up on the actions and possible side effects. Now I'm more nervous.

I should be able to get through these 2 simple tasks on my own. I almost think I'm using the idea of Ritalin as a crutch to hold off starting work a little longer. *sigh* How am I suppose to make it in any kind of career if I can't motivate my self to finish something I know I can do.

Joey's out of town for the weekend. It's a good thing and a bad thing. Good because it forces me to realize how much free time I could be working on these things. Bad for the same reasons. I know I use him being around as an excuse...."I couldn't get anything written because Joey was on the computer playing his stupid games...." Never mind the fact that I could have easily written it out long hand first or set up my computer somewhere else and figure a way to hook up the printer.

Again, I'm aware of these ways I self-destruct. Too aware. I just spent the last 2 hours watching re-runs of crappy shows and texting anyone I thought wouldn't give me a hard time about getting to work. No one answered. Grrrr. So right now it's all on me. I have no excuses. Wish me luck?

school, ritalin
