Procrastination

Apr 19, 2006 01:22

Like everyone out there going to college... procrastination never leaves you. I'm still very tired because of all the work that piles up because i'm to lazy to do them. 3 major test upcoming in the next 3 days... 4 months worth of material that I havn't looked at... I'm working on it now and hopefully will get somewhere.

Life in general has been very repetitive.... School, home, work, pool hall... I seriously need 2 find things to do this weekend... besides thunder... i'm not even sure if i'm going to be able to make it because of work... my manager told me that i might be working until close that night... which means leaving around 2.5 am. The worst thing is that there isn't even a summer for me to look towards, since i'm going to be taking classes over the summer... and it is actually more credit hours i've taken any semester all year. i just wonder how i am going to survive all of this... i probably need 2 meet a nice friend call coffee...

The other day I had to do to speeches in a row for my speech class... 40 percent of our grade for that class... we had to record the speeches on tape and evaluate them presenting it... I don't understand how one speech can be so perfect and the other so pathetic!!! I watch it and ask if that was really the same person presenting.

The only pleasant news I've had latly is that my wireless internet connection works and I got a 100 on an art paper... Either my writing has improved a lot or my bs skill is really good... here is a sample of it...

As a child, the application of symbols as a different method of expressing similar ideas intrigued me. My first interaction with the use of symbols came in my junior high years. I thought it appeared interesting to manipulate pictures in order to express ideas thorough the image of another object. At those adolescence years, I experimented with varying figures to symbolize the subjects with which I held focus. My interest in symbols played the central role in why I choose “Vanitas” as my subject.
When we first touched Dutch Art, my mind immediately became captivated by the nature of the work. I did not know that there existed a genre which built on a foundation of symbols. From our discussions of Dutch Art, I knew in my mind that my choice for this art assignment shall encompass a piece from the Netherlands.
As I ambulated to the Speed Art Museum I knew my piece would exist in the Time and Transformation event, which emphasized Dutch seventeenth century art. Scrutinizing the catalog that the museum had provided, “Vanitas” captured my eye. The centralized skull immediately stole my attention. The mundane knowledge that skulls represented a morbid symbol of death and decay entered my mind. The one skull disclosed to me the fact that “Vanitas” possessed many covert meanings that I shall have the opportunity to lose myself in. I ambled around, making sure to not move too fast; the guards appeared to monitor with their laser eyes, hunting for the piece of work. As I reached the destination of my brief journey, I stood and marveled at the piece of work before me. “Vanitas” would undoubtedly serves as the subject of my art paper.

Time to get back to reality and get to work...
