Procrastination.

Here I am, sitting.
I'm supposed to be doing my summer math homework.
I haven't even touched it today.

Here I am, sitting, surfing the web.
I'm supposed to be cleaning my room.
Even though I did yesterday, it's not quite finished.

Here I am, sitting, surfing the web, chatting with friends.
I'm supposed to be washing my dishes from lunch.
I haven't even put them in the sink.

Here I am, sitting, surfing the web, chatting with friends, PROCRASTINATING.
& it's a damn shame.


Why do so many people chose to procrastinate? Because we're lazy, because we don't want to do any work, because we don't want to get ahead in life? We do it so many times, and we know the consequences, so why keep doing it? I'm sure many people don't get a thrill out of the anxiety or stress tied to procrastination? As Edward Young said, “Procrastination is the thief of time.” - (1683-1765) Think about that. Well, I'm going to go stop procrastinating and begin my math. Isn't that a wonder?

Making Summer Count; Day Eight

Today was a kickass day. :D I definitely feel a lot better. Better than I have in a few weeks. I'm upbeat. Get ready to learn why!

Mostly, I think I just needed something to do with my life- something that I wanted to do. Something that'd make me feel awesome. :) and I found it. Today, I took a few hours away from the computer, and my mom & I did something different than what we usually do. We set up a little photo shoot, and she took tons of pictures of me. :) That really bumped up my confidence and my mood. It really helped. I feel like a completely new person! So the next time you're kind of in a funk, try this antidote! Put on your favorite t-shirt or those cool new sunglasses you just bought, and take a few pictures of yourself. It's worth a shot!

Isn't that a wonder?

Have fun you guys, and enjoy life.

Making Summer Count; Day Four

Today, a lot happened. Some of it was really exciting, some was heart wrenching, and some? Some isn't even worth the tale.

This morning, I woke up to my mom bursting in my room to tell me to get up. She wanted to get to the DDS early to get my permit. This was an event I was VERY excited about... until I physically got in the car and my mom began driving. I was NOT prepared to take the test. I didn't feel like I studied enough, so I chickened out. I asked my mom to turn around and take me home. When we got home, I immediately turned to the computer for comfort. I began to play FreeCell like I usually do, and I began to chat with a friend, Semere. I told him about my fears of taking the test, and he comforted me that everyone get scared about tests. He said that I should just knock it out of the park, and that's what I ended up doing. After a few more hours of studying, distracting myself with Facebook and FreeCell, and posting a post to my blog, I went back to the DDS. I ended up passing my permit test. :) Moral of the story? It's ok to be nervous about the steps of life, but you can't let your fears hold you back from doing the things you want to do. So the next time there's a daring move you want to take, take it. :) You can do it. I have faith in you!

Before I posted this morning, I learned something new. The subject today was clouds! They're a beautiful thing, don't you think? In the sky idly floating along... There's a website called Learn Something New Everyday. I'm new to lsned.com. Today was my first day reading a post, and the most recent one was about clouds. It basically retaught me what I learned in 5th grade, but I needed it. I looked over past posts, and if I keep up with this site, I'll learn about Greek mythology, clowns, Einstein, and much more! I want to be quite the intellectual. :)

Today, I also learned that it is possible for me to not have a panic attack over a guy. I'm actually really hurt right now. There's this guy that I really liked. You've heard of him, Paul. I almost said aloud that I loved him. At my birthday party, he nibbled my ear, and I thought that gesture from him was really special. I felt really, really EPIC! But then I found out today that that wasn't special at all, because he was at a party Sunday, and at the party he was kissing up on one of my dearest, dearest friends, and when he was done with her, his ass crawled over to the other two girls there! UGH! So, I don't feel special at all. That was heart wrenching. I thought I meant something special to him... Guess not. Well, I won't be hurt over this for long, though. Why would I want a guy like that? Am I just saying that, though? If he puts out his hand, will I take it? These questions are hard to answer like this. Now isn't THAT a wonder?

C'est la Vie. Good Night. :)

Making Summer Count; Day Three

Happy Belated Birthday to Me. :) Yesterday was my birthday, and I'm fifteen now! :) I enjoyed myself a bunch. I had lunch with my friend, Kailah, at the Hard Rock Cafe, we went shopping, I got a haircut, and I watched the season finale of my favorite show, 10 Things I Hate About You. :)

You know those birthdays when you don't feel different at all? Well, this year, I definitely feel different. I feel older and more mature and insightful and I feel like I'm starting to become the person I'm going to be. Now of course, this just didn't happen over night. I feel like I've been slowly leading up to this point for a while, and that my birthday was the day it hit me: I'm changing.

This haircut was definitely good for me. I can't stop touching my hair! It's cut in layers, so it's pixie-like, and I have a side bang. The new image is a big change that I've wanted for a while. I also got my mom to "inquire" about contacts, so let's hope that the inquiry goes well. Fingers crossed! Isn't that a wonder?

Tonight I'm going to post again about Day Four. Talk to you later!
