D.A.R.E.

I will always be a D.A.R.E. kid.



thoughts on procrastination

I don't know why I procrastinate. Maybe I believe that I'll make all my work disappear? I don't know. Maybe I just work better under stress. Or at least, I used to, so now my brain/body is used to not starting until the last minute.

But I hate being under constant stress. I hate always complaining about how much work I have to do juxtaposed with the little sleep I get. It's not completely my fault that I rarely get enough sleep, but I know that I would get a lot more if I just sat down and concentrated on my work. But I don't until really late at night, most of the time. And when I actually do it, it doesn't take that long. It's getting to the state of mind in which I can overcome all pressures placed on that takes forever.

But now I'm almost half-way done with my government essay. Hurrah! Progress. Granted, it's almost 2 A.M., but the last time I had a government paper, I started it two days after it was due.

So now, I'm sitting here with my box of CCJJs and mug of Earl Grey, listening to the noisy heater by my bedroom door and the rain outside my window. I know I can get it done. I know I can memorize the monologues for my audition tomorrow, as well. I can do anything I set my mind to. I can. I can. I can.

On another note, earlier today I told my dear friend Evan that I hate being alone and awake at night. I'm not sure if that's true, though. Well, it was true when I said it. But now, I'm comfortable. I'm okay with being alone. I'm not sure why, though. Maybe I'm just calmer. Or maybe I'm just more delusional. Or...I don't know, I'm bipolar or something. Or maybe I just change a lot. That must be it. I guess I'm just in a constant state of change.

Anyway, I just need to get through this week. I just need to get through tomorrow.

Good night. Good morning.

plan of action

Still up doing homework. Probably will not sleep tonight.
So here's what I'm doing instead:

1. Finish writing and answering Brave New World questions.

2. Finish writing paper for French.

3. Finish reading chapters 5 and 6 of Brave New World.

4. Take a nice, hot, long shower.

5. Get ready for school.

6. Sleep in car on the way to school. Or something like that.

Feh. At least I took a nap earlier.
OH. And did I mention that I didn't have time to eat anything until 5 p.m. yesterday?

momentarily brain dead & pictures

I'm physically and mentally exhausted. Today was absolutely horrible from the moment I woke up. Tonight has been productive, I suppose, but I still have a lot of work to do.
Bleh.

I've spent the past few hours reading Brave New World for English, which I actually really like. But now I have to write something on L'étranger for French and in French. And then I have to read more of Brave New World, and write stuff on it.

But I'm kind of brain dead. So I took some pictures.











omglonghair. Should I grow it out?
