Guess what? It's Sunday, and I just realized that we have a blog due today. Yay me. I don't know why, but I am really good at putting things off until the due date. I don't mean to, it just, sort of, happens. You know? Like when someone is a really good singer. Either they are born with a nice voice that is able to mature over time and blossom into a beautiful voice, or they are really bad singers. Being really good at procrastination is something you're born with, I think.
Let me give you a couple examples of my A+ procrastination skills:
One time, I kept putting off AP US History notes. Well, the night before they were due rolled around, and I had only 5 of the 45 pages done that were due. So what did I do? I put the notes off until I was done with the rest of my homework, of course. I ended up staying up until almost midnight, and the next day at school was a total blur. I definitely almost fell asleep during seventh period. (That always seems to be the class that makes me really sleepy)
Blogs. I know this is not a good habit, but my blogs are never written until Sunday, and usually Sunday night, at that. (I'm sorry Mrs. Hallock!) I am always forgetting that they are due. I usually forget because, since we only write them every other week, I get my weeks mixed up. It's really bad.
So that leaves me here, where I am. Sitting at my laptop, on my bed, and writing a blog. On Sunday night. The day it is due. At nine o'clock at night. I am the worst. Ugh.
What could I do to fix this "talent?" Maybe I could try to remember when something is due earlier than I usually do. Maybe, if my schedule was not so crazy (see last blog), my brain would not be going in one hundred different directions at the same time, and I would remember when stuff was due.
But until then, I will probably continue to be the procrastinator that I am and try to become better at not procrastinating... tomorrow.
