Is it bad that I've practically spent all of today in front of this blasted piece of machinery?!(Sorry, Laptop... I love you) Besides breaking to eat and write some stuff (sadly, none of it was work-- AP or German related) that is all I did. Mostly I was just reading other blogs (like this amazing girl's!) and tweaking a couple things on my own, but still. I woke up late, so I guess I can't say I spent THE WHOLE DAY on the computer. More like a couple hours at a time, but still. It's Day 3 Without The Boys and it's like I'm stuck with nothing to do. And I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that the boys are gone. I think I'd still be stuck with nothing to do even if they were here. Let's face it. There are tons of things I could've/should've done.. but... but...
Perhaps I just needed a lazy day. Sometimes I feel like I work too much, but it's summer.. that's not really the case. Realistically, every day right now has been a "lazy day" (some lazier than others, I'll admit...) Annnnnd I have no idea what I'm getting at right now, so I guess I'll just jump to the sort of reason for the title of this post.
Have you ever felt like you could be doing so many other things but continue to be lazy and continue doing nothing anyways? Ahh, the art of procrastination. You know, Mark Twain always said
“Never put off 'til tomorrow what may be done the day after tomorrow just as well".
Yeah. Well. I could have done a multitude of things today, but I didn't....
-I could have done some AP World or German work. I didn't...
-I could have gotten up early to go running (to beat the heat). Whoops, slept in late...
-I could have spent a little time outside with my little sister. Well, it's kinda too hot.
-I could have engaged in a really long conversation with my mother about college. Sad to say.. I guess I wasn't in the mood... plus. Those conversations take a long time. XD
-I could have cleaned my room. There's no doubt it's getting a bit out of control...
-I could have practiced piano/done some work on a newer song of mine ehhhh... I did that a lot yesterday. Psh.
-I could have solved world hunger But no.. I was sitting here, doing nothing... :<
Meh, you get the point. Perhaps tomorrow will be more productive. In fact, I half created that list so I could have a semi "to-do" list for tomorrow! Woohoo, look at me go! I like doing things. I like feeling productive.
In other news, my house... is bipolar. Literally. Like the North and South poles. Oh wait, I just sounded really stupid right there. Both poles are cold.... Can you tell I'm not thinking very well? Anyways. What I meant to say is that upstairs is hot as Hades and has me stripping down to almost nothing just so I can sleep, whereas down here feels like I'm stuck in the fridge and, because of that, it seems like I am perpetually donning a sweatshirt and fuzzy slippers. I swear... I'm going to get sick before long with all these crazy temperatures.
J (last he told me) is supposedly returning late tonight from his various family and mountain climbing adventures, so that's something to look forward to... I've missed him, and we haven't talked in like, three days with the exception of an uber short email and an even shorter text conversation. I don't expect him to be up and ready to hang tomorrow; he's had a long exciting week and could very possibly be worn out and I am absolutely alright with that. But you can bet if he did want to hang, I wouldn't refuse... <3
ALSO. VBS (basically a church camp) will be happening this coming Monday, so that will
a) definitely get me out of this seemingly growing boredom rut
b) get some volunteer hours under my belt
c) allow me to have some fun in dealing with little kids!
And it's only a week away... OH and did I mention I still haven't done my AP World assignment, and that I still have yet to make another dent in my German work? HA. Yeah... the deadlines are approaching on all of that... Sometimes, I think "ugh why do I procrastinate, I know it's not good." But there's something that has to be said for the feeling of "oh god, I HAVE to do this... let's sit down and DO it" I get when it comes down to the wire. Maybe I should start setting my own deadlines, so for me, personally, I can synthesize that "OH DARN GOTTA GET IT DONE" feeling. It's also sorta like this quote by Bill Watterson:
“You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood. What mood is that? Last-minute panic.”(Ooh, look at me using the fancy quotes! :D)
Similar to the way I set my bedroom alarm clock 20 minutes ahead of the one downstairs that everybody goes by...(Does anyone else do this? I find it helpful...) I'll be getting ready, look at my clock and think "Oh snap, I am late!!" But upon rushing downstairs, I'll find I have some minutes to spare. And I know, it'd probably work better if I didn't know that the clock was 20 minutes ahead, but for some reason it still works for me, so I'm not complaining.
I'm also feeling somewhat badass at the moment because yesterday, I didn't get around to posting! Ha! See? The Blog High is wearing off! ...Or maybe I'm having a relapse because this morning I kinda wrote one and scheduled it for yesterday... *facepalm* But still. It's a start. And don't get me wrong-- I love blogging. It's great. I can put whatever I want that's going on in this little head of mine here and have no judging, no one telling me what to think... and just my own little piece of the universe where I can rant/talk/share about anything I want. It's a purty great feeling. BUT. I have to start getting used to the fact that I will not be able to blog every day (As heartbreaking as that sounds).
I just hope I can get my act together (on many different levels) before this coming school year starts...
xoxo
AND WOW
As a GIANT "P.S."....
