PRO crastination

Well today has been a slow day homework wise. So I was able to accomplish my tasks fairly early and easily. I've been just slowly inching my way towards exams. Trying to relax as much as I can before I really can't. It's still waiting in me to finally motivate myself to do stuff that I need to. But I want to push it to tomorrow. I have no rush, and well...it's just been a rough couple of days. Just sort of anxious, lost and confused as always. Plus more personal matters as one would expect. So I've been a little distracted with myself...but I"ll eventually get over it. Anyways...tomorrow is when shit gets rough.

My Generalized Writing Process Broken Down

As I look back on my writing process...I notice a familiar pattern that isn't wholly correct and leaves much room for improvement. As I edit for content throughout, I lead myself to believe that further editing is not necessary. I often neglect this, and this is a reckless mistake that will eventually be noticed at some point in my career. Though I do not plan on being a professional writer per say, I would still like to be eloquent in my speech and in any papers I may choose to do. As a child I never saw myself as any sort of writer. In fact I was probably the worst at grammar and speech at any young ages if compared to my peers. My Uncle would try to correct, but we all knew that I was doomed for english and luckily accelerated in science and math. I had always thought I would be a mathmatician of some sort, and would at least only gain enough command of the english language to get myself by in day to day life. However, as I went through English AP classes in high school, my teachers basically forced and scared me into actual writing. The best of my class usually wound up with C's and we were left to be as grandiose as possible, though we hardly knew what the hell we were saying. After that and meshing into a normal English class senior year, I began to understand and comprehend proper writing and soon writing was an easy task. Essays written during class were astonishing and later this quick style perfected in me. College continued this and soon I felt good and confident in my essays. However good they may appear to be...a lot of times it all falls short and I know I could do better. Though some of my sentences may seem impressive, the overall content tends to lack. I now know that I need to improve how I argue points. Most of my analysis leaves little proof of my actual point, and ends up being strictly opinions. Likewise my thoughts get disjointed, which would normally be caught upon later thorough reviews and edits. I never hand my writing to my friends or people I know out of fear of pure criticism. Though I know I'm not in any way...unintelligent, I feel that maybe my friends would look down on my grammar or syntax. Or laugh at a small mistake. But I shouldn't be afraid of a little criticism, if in the end it does help my writing abilities. I feel that for any essay I write, I should have my peers read it and comment for me. Any help...well helps. Likewise I should do my essays and other projects earlier so that I can eventually edit this myself with enough time to turn it in and such. These are the two key events that I must implement in order to better my writing.

Procrastinatingggg...

Well...I'm surprisingly tired and a bit anxious all at once. Luckily today I got a lot of work done. Finished my psych reading for the week, read my history for tomorrow, read and did my philosophy for tomorrow, and did my spanish journal from 3 til like 8. Took a while...but I took short breaks in between and got it all done. Than I've just been relaxing, playing games, watching tv...reading some more. Still...glad I got it all done...but this anxious energy in me is keeping me from looking at the bigger picture. That is to say...the exams and portfolios and final essays. Kind of sucky...but whatevers. I guess I'll get it all done in the next weeks. Oh and by the way...I'm still avoiding looking at my colleges.

Procrastinating...doh...

Days pass by too quickly sometimes. I hate getting up late...but it was basically necessary. Well to me it was beyond necessary to get some rest and sleep away something I caused myself the night before...ha ha. Well enough about that...after getting up and showering and getting myself to finally go out and get food, since I oddly didn't feel like eating much (uh). Afterwards I headed to the GUILD movie theater to watch a movie for my ma class that I need to write a paper on. I got there early and just read, to enlighten myself. Watched the movie, headed back to campus and than started doing my history homework. Did all but like 10 pages of reading which I'll finish tomorrow. Took a nap...than it was Saturday night. So hw didn't exist. Ahhhh sadly...well I don't believe I have much to do for monday. Shouldn't take me too long. Until than...laters.

Procrastinating!!!!

Oh my my my. Where have I been lately??? Procrastinating??? Well...actually...I've been almost doing quite the opposite. I've been doing all my homework early and actually starting early on some other things. In fact...I've sort of been busy with school work and just reading, that I've been spacing out the smaller things. My bad...but here I am finally. Its a weekend, and I'm ready for the next week. I have one small journal, and have to go see a show tomorrow. Have to do some reading by next friday, but I'm almost done. I have a little bit of History reading, but not much pressure...but I'll still do it tomorrow sometime. All in all, I feel very productive. Hopefully this keeps up when exams roll around...

Procrastinating...meh

So today was a pretty laxed day for me. After getting off my classes I took a small break and relaxed. Than I did some spanish assignments as well as other things I needed to get done. Later I did some psych reading amongst taking breaks in between each of my assignments. I felt I accomplished quite a bit today and got to enjoy myself in the process as well. All in all I felt it was a good productive day. There aren't many other assignments I need to do currently, as this is the calm before the storm of exams...so if anything, I should use this time to relax before the shit hits the fan and I become consumed by study.

Procrastinating...still

So...apparently I completely spaced out doing one last night. In fact I didn't accomplish anything yesterday work wise. However, I did feel more productive than I have in a while. I was out and about, went rock climbing, walked around, caught up with old friends and generally did rather than did not. I felt good about that and though I may have missed the media arts event for this weekend, I assume there will still be a few more before the semester ends, meaning I'll still have time to do it. I've already started working my way towards finding more events anyways and my teacher congratulated me on how well my sequence analysis project was for the class and how it was one of the best one's in class. This came as quite a shock as I did not really start it till the day before it was due, but I did fully dedicate myself to the project. This boosts my confidence in that maybe I can actually become a film editor as I have been dreaming about. Though my laziness counteracts this dream and often time instills fear in me, I feel more confident that I can change and can do what I want to do. So as for today, I slept in due to another late night. But after eating, I instantly started my homework and knocked out two assignments for tomorrow. I have only one more pressing assignment due tomorrow which I will do here shortly. But I'm off for now...until tomorrow and the beginning of another week...ugggghhh
