It’s been a while…
…but I need to vent. I haven’t told you that I’ve moved to Edinburgh, but it happened over a month ago now. I’m super homesick at the moment. Found out today I can’t have any holidays at Christmas so if I don’t make any friends up here I’ll be alone for Christmas :¬/ Apart from that I love it here. It’s such a nice city! S x
Procrastination
Okay, so,
I’m not used to having things to do which has led to a major problem. Basically, when I have things to do I’ve lost the skill of avoiding procrastination. My body rewards me for sitting and thinking about how big an elephant actually is, or what the average number of grapes a human can fit in their mouth and whether these numbers would differ depending on gender, ethnicity, etc.
I can’t even focus enough to write this, even though this is being used to avoid what I really should be doing…
I find myself using excuses like ‘well if I don’t eat it’s bad for me, so it’s okay to go stand in the kitchen and look at what I should eat for half an hour and then settle on toast, for the seventh time’ and ‘well I have a busy week ahead of me so I have to make sure I watch all YouTube videos I haven’t yet watched so save time’ and my personal favourite ‘if I don’t watch this program now someone will definitely spoil the ending before I get a chance to watch it’.
I’m supposed to be up, washed and in town for 10:00 tomorrow. It is now 21:37 (boring time (if only I’d looked a minute ago. That would have been a nice time)), and I have at least 2 hours of prep work to do for midday. And I’m unlikely to get up to do it in the morning…
:¬/ Urgh… Steg
Time to anticrastinate!
Update at 22:28 - 1/11 of the way through… Time for a break, non? Well seen as this took me almost an hour, no! If I carry on this way It’ll mean me finishing, showing and going straight to town. Also it was the easiest 11th that I’ve just done, so I may never get this completed :¬/ HELP!
Update at 23:04 - 3/11 of the way through… I suppose those two 11ths were a little quicker than the last one, but I’m still doing so bad! I’ve only written 370 words in 2 hours! :¬| I suppose it could be classed as 3/7, so I’m a little under half way. Yeah, that’s a bit nicer. It still means I’m going to be up until about 1:20 in the morning though… :¬/ Back to work I go…
Update at 23:59 - so I’m sticking to the /7 way of working things out, as they’re so much better. I’m now at 5/7, meaning I’m ahead of my last schedule, I think :¬) Also I calculated the last one wrong. I’d only done 2 sevenths, which makes this even more ahead of schedule :¬) Last leg of the task, here we go :¬Þ
Update at 00:21 - I do believe I’m done :¬) Night everyone :¬Þ
