Procrastination

I have decided that I am, in fact, a graduate student. My degree is in procrastination. I can procrastinate all the time and yet somehow still get things done. I could teach a class on effective procrastination but I don't think the students would show up - and if they did, they would be rushed to get through the door - because they have not yet taken my procrastination course.

Sometimes, I want to quit school and just enjoy my 20's. Yeah, thats what I said when I was 17.. I'm going to quit school and enjoy my teen years. Sadly, that's what I did - and look where it got me. 23 and still in school. People don't realize the value of a good education. Wait, yes, people do - teenagers, for the most part, do not. In fact, I know quite a few people MY age that still don't have a clue. Education is the key to success - however you choose to define it. This isn't to say that you will definately be working in the feild of your degree, but your degree will give you the determination, drive, and ability to stick things through and get them done. As a child, you are forced. As an adult - it is your choice. That says something to people - hence the value of the degree.

My wise words of wisdom are catching up with me. I have not been particularly consistent with this blog lately - and this, as you can imagine, is primarily due to my lack of effectiveness elsewhere. Last week, most of my classes were cancelled, and I was sick on Tuesday, so I ended up missing those classes. Therefore, I have soo much homework and I have yet to actually sit down and figure out what it is. It occurs to me - I don't really have the time to figure it out, I have to do some chores for dad, finish the binders, and do my homework - on top of attending class tonight. I didn't procrastinate and now look where it has got me. I'm stressed out and I didn't even enjoy the lead-up.
