Procrastination at its finest

If there were a competition for world's best procrastinator I think I would definitely win! It is ridiculous how much time I spend procrastinating. Tonight I had an assignment due, I thought at midnight, but, oh no, it was due at 9. When did I start this 135 question assignment...8:30! Haha I got an awesome score of 12.5% on the assignment. Not going to lie, I'm pretty proud I got that far.

While I was procrastinating this assignment I got to talk to a friend I miss, call my best friend, and even got my homework done for another class two weeks early! I guess I'm not too horrible at procrastinating,. Honestly though, why in the world would I do homework for a test I have already taken and the stuff doesn't even make sense the way the questions are asked? Waste of time if you ask me! I think listening to music and singing along is a much more worthwhile way of spending my time! Don't you agree?

If anyone is feeling up to it...I'd love to have a procrastination competition! :)

Living Life

Lately life has seemed to have given me it's fair share of challenges and decisions to make. Most of them I don't really want to deal with and avoiding them has seemed to be the best option. I decided that isn't going to work anymore. As I was reading through another blog, they shared this quote:

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.  Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.  It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.  It will make or break an athletic team, company, organization, church, or a home.  The remarkable thing is that we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.  We cannot change the regrets of the past nor do we need to fear the events of the future.  Regret and fear are twin thieves who would rob us of the thing we have control over, that is our attitude.  We need to learn to go into the arena every day with a winning attitude and enjoy the challenges it brings.  I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.  And so it is with you...we are in charge of our attitudes."  -Charles Swindoll

I absolutely loved it! I have learned that no matter what decisions I might make, it is ultimately my attitude that is going to determine if that choice was a good one or not. I can't keep living my life with question marks at the end. I have to start putting some periods and even a few exclamation marks. I have to be happy with decisions I make, they are my decisions, and if I can't accept the consequences, I am throwing away my gift of agency. Attitude truly is everything! Love life and live with no regrets. 

School is hard...

So school is kind of hard. Who would've thought? I actually have to read my textbooks? Who does that? I guess I do now. I am so tired of highlighters and pages full of notes. Has it really only been 2 weeks?? I am going to go crazy!!

I thought once school started life would go faster, but the days just seem longer. I fall asleep reading my textbooks most nights and then school is right in my face again the next morning. I have already gotten 2 parking tickets...so dumb! I miss walking to school and being able to wake up 10 minutes before class, get dressed and run to class. None of that here...it takes 10 minutes just to walk across campus to my class. Not to mention the 20 minutes it takes to find a place to park. I hope I get used to this quick!
