My Greatest Talent: Procrastination (PB)

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.
