Dear university,
When I first came to you back in the fall of 2008 I thought you were one badass institution. Your campus was overrun by bunnies, the residence cafeteria served decent food, the beach was a short 10 minute walk down the hill, and my classes were interesting.
I spent the first two years of my education taking every anthropology class possible, and loved every minute of it. They were demanding and challenging at times, but I pulled through and never got less than an A- [I choose to ignore my B+ from Pinkoski because that guy was a self-righteous douche].
However, my opinion is beginning to change. Perhaps my mistake was taking three intensive one-month classes over the summer. Who wants to learn about feminist movements in 19th century Canadian society when they can be at the beach or lake instead? I still love you, and I still love my anthropology classes, but I have lost my motivation to get anything done. For example, I just spent fifteen minutes writing this instead of using that time to write the last two pages of my history paper that I’ve been working on for a week [side note - the paper was due on Wednesday but I decided to procrastinate and take the 2% grade reduction for it being late so I could re-watch My So-called Life instead].
In conclusion, I just don’t care as much as I used to. I still want to graduate early with kickass grades, but I don’t feel like doing the necessary work. I’m sure after a month in Australia in December I’ll be calm, relaxed, tan, and ready to get back in it. Thank goodness I only have one real paper to write this term, or I’d be screwed.
Yours truly,
me.
it’s hard to find things to help me procrastinate when tumblr isn’t working
Why do I have zero motivation to write this paper? It’s only 1,000 words. I already have 550, which took me just over an hour. But now I just want to procrastinate and pretend like it’s not due in 7 hours.
I need motivation to get all of this done, so here’s my plan.
I’m gonna repost this every Sunday night for the next few weeks until everything is crossed off.
I got this shit. Kinda.
Here is my plan to finish my essay. Why am I posting it on here? Because if I do I’ll actually feel the need to live up to it so I won’t disappoint the millions of people who don’t care.
Today:
Tomorrow:
Why am I looking at shoes I could never afford when I should really be studying for tomorrows GPA killing final exam?
and most of all -
Why yes I did just calculate that in order to procrastinate an extra 2 minutes.
