Things I Have Done Instead of My Homework
If there’s one thing I completely pwn at, it is procrastination. I have it down, pat.
So far in the past 21 hours I’ve been awake I have managed to do these things instead of my homework:
- Talk on the phone with one of my best friends for four hours. Yeah, really. She lives in Alaska right now, unfortunately, whereas I still live in Seattle, so we don’t get to talk as often as we’d like, but when we do? We talk forever. It’s pretty much ridiculous.
- Squealed at the ridiculous amount of adorable at Cute Overload with aforementioned friend.
- Read 85% of Down to the Bone by Mayra Lazarus Dole which I really, really like. Reading it makes me hungry! So much talk of Cuban food, so little time! If it wasn’t for the fact that my bus for school leaves in four hours and I haven’t finished my paper yet, I would be finishing it right now!
- Watched Trembling Before G-d, a documentary about gay and lesbian orthodox Jews. Heartbreaking, but fantastic at the same time.
- Written an infinite amount of lists about what I should be doing.
- Began NaBloPoMo at my LiveJournal.
- Wrote about 400 words for NaNoWriMo–though I intend on writing about 3,000-4,000 words today after the long-ass nap I plan on taking when I get home from classes. Add me as a writing buddy! I’m pumpkincarriage.
- A million other things I probably didn’t need to do, but did anyway.
- Wrote this post.
Yeah, seriously, I am the world’s biggest procrastinator. The other day I was procrastinating by reading articles on how to quit procrastinating. Of course, I mostly opened a billion articles in a billion tabs, then just scanned a few and closed the rest and went to do something more fun instead.
Considering the amount I procrastinate, it’s a wonder I actually manage to keep good grades.
How bad do you guys procrastinate? Or how do you avoid it?
