Procrastination

So sorry about the lack of posting last week. I want to say that it was a combination of stress and homework, but really, I just forgot. It won’t happen again, dear readers. That’s another thing. I had three different people ask me why I didn’t post on Saturday. Who knew anyone even read this thing?

So that leads me to something I’ve been thinking about recently.  Procrastination. One of the most spoken terms in the vocabulary of a typical high school student.  I’m not excluding myself from the bunch here, I can procrastinate as well as anyone.  They should make it an Olympic sport, I procrastinate so well.  But the thing is, and I have learned this time and time again, procrastinating just comes back to bite you in the end. Sure you can put off the essay you have to write for English until Sunday night, as many of us do, but that only leads to a panic attack at 10 at night and a horribly written essay. It’s really a lose-lose here. You do a terrible job on whatever it is you are procrastinating on, and your stress level raises through the roof.  And believe me, that is the last thing I need right now.

As amazing as this will sound, I only have 14 days of school left. People say that like it’s a good thing. I even have a countdown written in my binder, courtesy of a beloved junior in my chemistry class. But to me, 14 days is not enough time. It just isn’t. The amount of work that I have to get done is astronomical. It seems to me, that 14 days is just not enough time to do it.  If I procrastinate? Then forget about it. You know what? I’m not going to procrastinate.  In fact, consider this my declaration of non-procrastination for the rest of the school year.  All 14 days of it. I got this.
