In order to silence my critics who believe I write too little, I'm going to write about something that genuinely interests me. Procrastination has always been my worst habit. Ever since the sixth grade I have put off large projects and essays until the very last day, hoping with every fiber in my body that I do well on it or the due date is extended. And even when the due date is extended, I always seem to be hunched over this keyboard at ten o'clock at night, once again hoping that the latest project would not be due. What is it about me that causes me to put off this important work? Why don't I see the error of my ways the first time and move on from their? Perhaps it is that I don't see the importance of hard work, or that I underestimate the amount of work it will take. As soon as I get projects assigned, I gauge how long it will take, or how long I can put it off before I hit last minute panic mode.
I believe this horrid habit has a direct correlation with me just being plain lazy. Although I work very hard on concentrating on the task at hand, I always seem to get bored. I make that excuse many times, saying that it is uninteresting. What I need to start reminding myself is that I don't have a choice about what I study, I just need to do it. I need to realize that if I work hard now, in the long run it will pay off tremendously. One of my new personal favorite quotes, one I will add onto my quotes list is:
HARD WORK OFTEN PAYS OFF AFTER TIME,
BUT LAZINESS ALWAYS PAYS OFF NOW
I think that I need to keep my goals in sight, keep my eye on the prize, and just continue to remind myself that one day all the hard work that I do now will soon pay off. From here on out, I will make sure that I am a beacon of hard work and justice (I only said justice because it sounded dramatic). From now on I will no longer procrastinate, or make the "uninteresting" excuse to myself. This blog post will be a record of this promise I have made to myself at 6:49 on February 13 of 2008. I will not let myself down.
My Dream
The Section That Looks Official and Takes Up Space
- S. Naes
- There's More Than Corn In, Indiana, United States
- Half the time nobody really bothers to read this section of the page, but I figured that since I'm bored I would fill up part of my page with the parts of my life that are odd. Probably the weirdest thing about me is my abnormal neatness when it comes to grammar and handwriting. I can't stand not capitilizing all of my letters at the beginning of a sentence, and ending everything with the proper punctuation. I can't write fast, so my writing territories fail epicly. Sorry Miss Holmes. When I write fast I get mad because my handwriting isn't neat. I am the master of all procrastination, although I am trying to work on it. I am fluent in sarcasm, as is my fellow sensei of the art, Flynnstone. I would fill this space with normal things, but those are uninteresting, so that's where I will end this section.
