An utterly boring post about being lazy and a procrastinator (aka my dar so far)
I"m crazy tired and have no motivation to work right now. This, of course, is very, very bad because I have a lab report due tomorrow (that I haven't started yet), and 5 exams coming up, three of which are coming up during tech week for the monologue. I've been feeling like crap all day and feel utterly useless to myself and those around me.
I skipped Bio Lab Lecture because I woke up feeling like garbage and felt the need to sleep for another hour or so. This extra hour of sleep made me late for Nervous System (I've never missed or been late for this lass all semester and now my record has been tarnished...). I went to KKI for volunteer work and, thankfully, no one was really in need of my help for the most part. Also, the kids were playing... get this... Mario Bros. DDR! WTF? I had no idea they even had that! It was so freakin' easy, I was so jealous that that game wasn't around when my friends were into DDR. I could have saved myself weeks of embarrassment from having almost no coordination back in those days....
Anyway, it was raining and cold, which could explain my mood. No, I don't have SAD, but I do get lethargic when it's yucky outside. My throat is sore and I feel congested (gross) and I want nothing more than to stay in my bed and sleep, which is what I did after dinner. I realized that i had a lot of work to do, so I only let myself sleep for 45 minutes before waking up and trying to work on my lab report. I wrote up an outline last weekend but didn't want to start writing it until I spoke with my lab TA about the extra well we had and since we spoke to her yesterday, I left the report to today. So far, I've only done the Introduction, and though I know (mostly) what to write for the remaining sections, I just don't want to. So I searched for online versions of DDR (because I have the urge to play it now) and played several games before trying to force myself to get some work done. BUT... I just ended up going to the Neuroscience site for hopkins to find people that I could research with this summer. I emailed one person so far, and she hasn't responded to me yet, so I figured I should email some other people in case she decides to neglect sending me a response until the next semester (which she did last semester...). Oy. Neuroscience people are so annoying with email responses! They don't respond for days or weeks and leave you at the edge of your seat just waiting for a friggin response!
So, yeah... that's been my day so far in a nutshell. I am in no mood to do any work and feel like just watching TV or something, but I refuse to give in to that form of procrastination because then I won't get any work done. At least if I type up a LJ post then I make myself believe that I can go back to my report any time I want without feeling like I wasted an insane amount of my time. I'll just have to make up for my utter lack of motivation by spending the entire weekend in the library...how fun.
