Well, I joined a book club recently, and it being October, Dracula by Braum Stoker was chosen as our first book. I have to say, at first I thought 440+ pages was going to be ridiculous in under two weeks with a major test in there, but it worked out really well. I was so into the book that my little breaks from studying usually turned into BIG breaks with the other Dr. Acula. Definitely a good read.

While I did do all four of my mini-goals from my last post, I’m still not sure I can count this complete. I think it’ll just take more time and willpower.
I still don’t completely understand how to quantify this. Maybe what I’m doing isn’t technically procrastination. It could be that I really just don’t need to do these things that I’m supposedly putting off and just thinking that it might be a good idea to do them. But maybe that’s just what procrastinators tell themselves :(
ALRIGHT. These are the things I need to do:- Study for my biochem exam
- Empty out the moving boxes littering my bedroom
- Find a doc to shadow
- Clean my apartment
I’m giving myself a week and a half to finish these four things because the exam is in 7.5 days. If I can get them done in the timeframe, I’ll consider this goal complete. If not, I obviously have more progress to make.
