So I am a prime example of a procrastinator if you don't know. If not that, it's my pure laziness that gets the best of me most of the time and end up not doing anything at all. That is how I survived junior high and high school. Junior high made me incredibly lazy; lazy to a point where it has become dangerous for me. My laziness/procrastination barely got me out of high school into university and it is now catching up on me. I had been constantly told that I needed to start studying in grade 12 because there would be no way I could cram everything into one or two nights before an exam to learn everything. Oddly enough, I pulled it off and did quite decent in grade 12 considering my efforts and what I had to go through elsewhere.
And thus, I was trying to study for my soc midterm tomorrow today. It was a short day for me so I got home just past 1 in the afternoon. I swore to myself I was gonna sit down and study until I gone through everything thoroughly. I just looked at what I needed to study and I was like, "HOLY SH!T that's alot of stuff". So something new I learned today: KEEP UP WITH THE DAMN SCHOOL WORK. Just for completeness' sake, I did manage to study all four chapters that are going to be on the test excluding the textbook. My prof did tell me stuff from the textbook, that we didn't cover in class, would be on the test, about 10 questions. So there is a possibility that I'll get owned on these 10-ish questions.
So... note to self: must learn to develop a healthy work ethic. One that does not procrastinate. Being exposed to this now will definitely change my attitude. Normally just having the attitude doesn't work for me because being motivated and actually getting down to doing stuff is a huge gap for me. But this being in university now and knowing what's at steak.. or stake, I could use some steak, but it's gonna be that much more important for me even if the program I'm in isn't what I want to do because it will set me up for the years to come. So if you want to be a good friend, please tell me to get off my ass and do some school work once in a while, if you don't mind.
... I am getting slightly worried about the Oilers... note the stress on slightly.
You only live each day once, make the best out of it each time.
