It’s a disease. It’s addictive. It’s a drug! Were you ever so motivated to do something that nothing could stop you. How about when you were learning how to drive and all you wanted to do was sit in that drivers seat. A year later, you received your license with out a problem. That’s just one simple example (I won’t bore you) of what procrastination prevents. Why is it so hard to study for a test, or complete a term paper in advance? What’s the worst that could happen (you have extra time to receive extra help for a great outcome) Now you are at a point in your life where maybe you are applying for jobs, colleges, making car payments, trying to find time to excercise and you just keep putting it off. (Remember many different events, etc have due dates) Where is this spiral going to take you. Now it’s time to turn of your computer, write a list of everything that you must get accomplished and do it! There’s no need for breaks and presents for yourself in between. You will give yourself your greatest gift and that is lots off your back. Wow, imagine that! (now it’s my turn to take my own advice, get off the computer, start applying for jobs, and get my butt to the gym!) This method has worked for me many times in the past and it’s going to work for me throughout my life starting today!

So, I’ve always been that person who ALWAYS had a job for as far back as i can remember. Now, I have no interest in looking for a job, career, etc. I have a degree, a teaching certificate and basically I’d just rather go back to school and live in my adolescent years. Is it that I’m compensating for the time lost when I was 14 years old and chose to work, rather than go out w/my friends. Now the summer is 1/2 over and I already had to cancel plans b/c of a lack of money. For those of you who say you’d rather not work..it’s not worth it. I still can’t go out. Atleast when I did work, I had lots of clothes, managed to go out frequently, had an awesome time, and bought myself pretty much whatever I wanted. Sucks for me now! I’ll give myself a week to find a summer job, babysitting or tutoring!!
Ok, so I’m taking this alegbra class, which wound up being pretty much a calculus course and I’ve never worked so hard in my life. I already have my teaching certificate and I figured that taking courses on areas that I need improvement will only make me a more well-rounded teacher. So, that is what i did and I’m suffering everyday this summer so far! In the mean time, I have yet to find summer employment and living off the pennies I’ve saved up this past year won’t last much longer!
