Procrastination...nearing...the...end

So this week has been pretty hellashish to say the least so far. After studying hard for my spanish exam and taking it on monday, I got out and instantly started preparing for my other exams. I finished my phil essay and turned it in yesterday. I need to add one small part to my cover letter so that I mention all of my assignments that I put into my portfolio, than I'm done. I spent the majority of yesterday studying and preparing for my history exam on friday, which I'm really nervous about. It's a lot of details to remember and I'm trying to prepare some outlines for the questions. I hope I do good, cause our professor is a really hard grader and doesn't curve anything. Today will be kind of hectic once I start getting a move on things. I need to move out friday morning, meaning that I need to start getting all the small shit out of my room, so that tomorrow night I can just move all the big stuff and be out of here by 9 in the morning on friday before my last exams. Doing this, amidst studying is going to be rough. But hopefully I can hurry through it all. Hopefully. I truly apologize for all the days that I miss on the blog. I'm not used to keeping an online journal of any sort and it tends to slip my mind on the tasks that I need to complete during the day. But anyways...the week is nearly half way over and I'm almost out of here!

Procrastination....YIPE!

OH MY GOD. I totally spaced out about this this past week. I just got so caught up on the end of the semester and exams that I totally forgot about my blog. I got a bit busy and had to go home this friday and move most of my stuff out of my room so I don't have to worry about it when I actually fully have to move out. I apologize for missing everything, but here's a quick overview. I've studied for my spanish exam on and off throughout the weekend to prepare for my exam monday. I finished my cover letter and gathered together all my work to put into my portfolio. All I need is to figure out how to do do it with part of my assignments single spaced and some of them double spaced. Obvoiusly I've already started the move out process, and tried to break it down to make it easier for me to do. All in all I'm staying pretty prepared for everything next week. Today all I need to finish is my philosophy essay to turn it in to my teacher tomorrow, or sometime before the due date. So hopefully all goes well this next and final week of classes. I hope that I'm prepared for my exam. A quick overview of my next week. I hope to start preparing for my history exam a little throughout the week. I'll probably start tomorrow and maybe do one of the three questions I need to prepare for each day. Than I'll start studying the id questions amidst these questions as well. I'll also start studying for my ma exam, probably starting on tuesday to prepare for it by thursday. And my psych exam will be no bother at all and I feel I'm already prepared for it. Only two I need to worry about are history and media arts, just as soon as I finish this portfolio, phil essay, and spanish exam. Here's to the next week. Cheers

Procrastination...skip skip do

Wow I'm terrible at keeping a constant post. Often days I postpone this till night, but somehow expect that I actually did it earlier that day when I get to it. Apparently, sometimes I don't do it and I apologize for that. Tuesday was mostly spent practicing for my Spanish oral exam and meeting with my partner I had to present with. This I was really upset with, because I knew more of the grammar and vocab than she did. She knew practically nothing, and when we "met" to "practice" it was actually me telling her what to do and what to say when we present. So...yesterday came and we got a pretty easy skit to do when we picked at random. We even had extra time than just 5 minutes to prepare for it too...and yet somehow she still managed to fuck it up. Not only did she not say what she was supposed to, but ended up going off on random tangents in the conversation. I mostly had to improve a lot of shit and try to make-up for her shittiness...thus making myself look bad. The thing that really got to me is that...not only did she only say about 5-7 lines for an entire 5 minute skit, but since I was making up for her lack of knowledge I looked bad in the process and ended up getting a lower grade than her!!! It's like I PRACTICED, STUDIED, AND PREPARED MYSELF AND HER FOR THIS!!! But I digress...after that I was sort of in a bad mood all day and tried to just chill out and get some other work done. In the end I forgot about this assignment, and my week just keeps getting worse and worse. Hopefully this seemingly unfortunate events don't continue into next week when I'll need all the luck I can get. Hopefully I can get myself moving this early afternoon to accomplish some things before my class tonight. Laters for now.

Procrastination...almost finished

Well, today was a more relaxed day for me. I had no classes I needed to attend, and took the time to catch up on sleep and finish off some work. I finished the rough draft to my philosophy paper and had my conference with my teacher. I've been trying to maintain contact with my spanish partner, amidst brushing up on my old spanish. I hope she gets back to me soon so that I know whether or not to rigorously study the sample topics we got for our oral on wednesday. Also, we are supposed to meet tomorrow, but she has not told me when or where yet either...so I'm waiting on that too. Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good. My 360 broke last week and I feel I should use that as a sign to not mess around with games. This way I will hopefully break the tendency to play the game while bored, instead of using that down time to study or accomplish something useful for any one of my classes. Well, I'm off to continue studying spanish as I just took a small break to watch Heroes. I'll catch ya tomorrow.

Procrastination...relaxed or lazy

Well, so far I seem to be keeping on the schedule that I planned for myself and detailed in my blog yesterday. I have basically completed a rough draft of my cover letter, only having to piece the two separate pieces together before Tuesday. Today I finished my half of my spanish comp and sent it to my partner...who has not yet sent me her part. In fact, after half contacting me today, I haven't heard from her since. I felt good that I stayed on top of that part at least. After "relaxing" but most likely "slacking off" for FAR too long, I started my Philosophy paper. Luckily, it is not a very long paper and the rough draft is due tomorrow for when I go meet with my professor. I feel that I have completed a good portion of what I wanted to say, and only need to add a conclusion and one more quote from an ereserve article we read a while back. I also feel I need to add another paragraph or two to further explain my point in more detail, but as I read through it now I feel that I am making a good case for my argument. But for now, my room is boiling and I am going to take a small break to let my body temperature get back down to normal. Ha ha. Till tomorrow

Procrastination...no breathing

Well I apologize for missing my post yesterday, but it was quite the long and stressful day. First, my anxiety has been giving me some slight problems with sleeping, and I have not been able to get my normal amount of sleep. I woke up feeling like a zombie, and pretty much functioned like that for most of the day. By the time I got out of class, all I could think about was sleep. However, I quickly turned to homework so that I could finish up all the menial stuff I had to do, before I had to start the bigger more pressing matters. I first started with my history quiz, of which I normally do not do well on. I flipped through the book and rushed to find the answers as best I could from my knowledge and from the book itself. Though I have read, the questions seemed to focus on small details which were hard to remember. I finished with 5 minutes left to discover I got a 95 on it and I sat there and smiled. About a second later I hopped onto my long spanish assignment, though due sunday, and quickly finished it to open up the rest of my weekend. Later my friends came, and it was just chaos for the rest of the night. Today was basically similar to friday but without the classes. I have started the drafting of my cover letter, but have been struggling with finding the right way to write it. I hope to finish most of it before tomorrow, so that I may spend tomorrow writing a rough draft for my phil term paper. Likewise I hope to finish that tomorrow so that I may spend the rest of the week till wednesday studying for my spanish oral exam. Now is the time to focus and stay on track. Breathe in and here we go.

PROCRASTINATING

I apologize for not having wrote anything since monday. Basically my Spanish teacher screwed us over by barely letting us know about our huge assignments that are due next week. Thus in order to give me enough time on the weekend to do and study my spanish, I tried to finish all my other assignments for the week early. These past few days have been pretty hectic and just homework filled. I've been finishing mostly everything pretty early, but I still keep postponing some of the bigger tasks. I hope that I'll get my shit together soon. I still feel this void in me. Like something is missing, and though I keep trying it just seems to stick. I've been having mad anxiety dreams and have this empty anxious feeling of waiting for something, but there is nothing to wait for. I hope it's just these final weeks before exams that is really pressing me. There is so much for me to still do, and I still have little motivation to do it...AHHHH.
