this post is procrastination at its finest
I have always wondered why girls forgive their guy friends way quicker than their girl friends...I am not generalizing because it is even a common motif in many tv shows and movies...I mean I have even done it once. In conclusion...girls just suck.
And so does school. I play these mental tricks on myself that ultimately screw me over when it comes to school work. For instance I have this 5 page essay due tomorrow by noon. I convinced myself that 5 pages is nothing, which it is! and so I kept on putting it off day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute merely b/c it is ONLY 5 pages. And so I thought I had got it in the bag. Then I find myself starting on it at midnight, 12 hours before it is due whereas if I had just worked on it when I should have, without playing those mind games on myself, I could have been long in bed by now.
I do that with news articles too. I put off writing articles till 2-3 in the morning even though I could have finished it a day or two before because I convinced myself I am wasting my time starting on it early when I could start on it late because it takes almost no time to complete. But then I find myself up at the wee hours of the night, stressing.
Anyways school has been going on with full force, now ending its 5th week. This semester has been really really good so far. My classes seem better because the professors seem a lot better (last semester I made an 89.31 in one class and in another class I had to do a grade appeal which went through. Talk about shittiness). I'm working for the OU Daily Newspaper and I got promoted after a week from being an unpaid intern to a paid reporter! It's a lot of work since I have to write about two articles a week, but I'm getting the hang of it. When I wrote for The DePauw I think I had written about 10 articles in a timespan of a year working there due to the fact it was more laid back since it was a biweekly paper. Because the Oklahoma Daily is well, a daily paper, I've already written 10 articles in a 5 week span and so it's just crazy to note how a small difference between a biweekly paper to a daily paper can actually feel like a major difference.
Well I'm off to sleep so I can wake up and start work on my paper at 8 a.m. My reasoning this time to put off my essay even moreso now is because I need some sleep and a fresh pair of eyes to work on it some more.
CIAO!
