What the Dormouse Said

pro crastinate |prəˈkrastəˌnāt; prō-|verb [ intrans. ]delay or postpone action; put off doing something : it won’t be this price for long, so don’t procrastinate

Okay, mac dictionary, that sentence sucks it really should be: WHEN I PROCRASTINATE I MAKE MY LIFE WAY MORE STRESSFUL AND ANNOYING THAN IT HAS TO BE, BUT I JUST CAN’T HELP IT!!!

Procrastination haunts me. I swear. Ever since the 8th grade it’s kind of been there. It’s like the time wasting equivalent of herpes. However to be honest, I almost always end up doing a good portion of the necessary work the night before (Wow I put so many qualifiers in that sentence to try to make it representative. It kinda failed. O well.) But, this means I’m staying up till the wee hours of the morning for no real reason. I mean sometimes I’ll still go to bed at 2 am, if I finish my homework earlier, but then its my choice! And most likely I’m just facebook shmoozing, reading, talking, or catching up on T.V. shows. However, when I do all that chill stuff first, I never really get to fully enjoy it because I have this work hanging over my head. Then when I finally finish the work, and do my whole nightly routine, I still need some time to wind down. MAIN POINT: Homework or not, I don’t get a lot of sleep. I mean its been worse. When i went to school in NYC and had to commute some days, I would literally be functioning on 3 hours of sleep with Varsity Basketball practices and everything. So I guess I can’t complain that much with my 5-7 hours per night average. But, I feel like I should be getting more. Yes, I should be able to just deal with what I’m getting (I mean it is my fault the whole procrastination/refusal to go to bed because I feel like there’s something more important I should be doing thing), but I feel like I need the extra Z’s. For my healthy at least. Maybe I can try next week to go to bed by 12:00 or 12:30 every night. AND MAYBE I can try to set aside 45 minutes of the actual day for doing homework so I don’t have to do it all at night! Well now I’m getting ambitious, but at least I’m going to TRY to try. We’ll see how this goes. 

However despite my procrastination my night as been pretty good. I finally helped my friend with his English assignment, and I got to say when that boy actually puts in effort, he can do really well with his schoolwork. Also, I introduced two of my best friends in the dorm (Nat and Kat) to Flight of the Conchords videos on youtube. I watched the new episode of America’s Next Top Model (Partially with Meg.) AND to top it all off the BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT of my night has been it’s soundtrack: Run by Snow Patrol. I attached the audio. It’s gorgeous and so pretty to harmonize with :) I want to sing it for something sometime soon.

Anyway, listen to it.

Run by Snow Patrol

I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up…

Slower slower
We don’t have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We’re bound to be afraid
Even if it’s just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

So I think that’s it for tonight, my friends. I have to go start a crazy amount of homework at 1:15 am. WOOOHOOO! not.

Until tomorrow! Peace.Love.RocknRoll.
