Procrastination...you old devil

FINALS WEEK! Well crap, that time of the semester when you want to be doing anything BUT study for tests. Where when it is the holiday season you want to be stuffing your face with sweets and making cookies, or decorating your tree, cutting up snow flakes or anything BUT studying for your last final tomorrow on British Literature, the one that is worth the biggest part of your grade compared to any other class. What am I doing? I'm writing a blog.

A blog.

Rather than buckling down and memorizing quotes and organizing data on for the essay portion....

I'm a bad procrastinator.

The kind with too many hobbies and in denial on my own bad habits on putting off studying, papers, etc. unless they're something I REALLY want to do.

Obviously, I don't want to put together my cheat sheet, and reread poetry and notes on Iambic Pentameter,  so I am writing this.

Oh and next semester will be just as bad, because I am planning on my second European adventure! HELLS YEAH!

So, come mid/late May, I will be taking notes on clothing I want to take, Churches I want to photograph and looking up train schedules to Venice, rather than studying for my final in 18th Century America.

I will say there IS something to be said for taking a break from academia, if I goof off for a while I DO get into a better mood to study, and I tend to work better under pressure.

So yeah, denial, excuses, whatever you want to call it. What is your bad academic habit?

Yet, I'm not such a procrastinator at FUN things....like present shopping, and holiday cards, and making snowmen ornaments, and putting up holiday decor. Can I have credit for that?

I hope this makes you laugh, smile and that you enjoy. I hope to make this word vomit more often on here, and thanks for reading!
