::Well, I'm taking a break from trying to concentrate on the Awakening MWDS. This thing is nearly impossible to concentrate on, specifically after hot chocolate and cookies.
We have another snow day tomorrow. I suppose this is a good thing. There's only a few bad things about that- one being that we have to make up the day later in the year, one that I have more time to feel bad about procrastinating on the MWDS, and the last being that...um... *cough* Never mind. It also kind of sucks to be stuck at home.
Gnimocemoh was fun. Can I say that too many times? The pictures on Andrew's blog are great. Very funny.
I'm in a pretty good mood even though it's 11.30 and I still have a lot to do on the Awakening MWDS. But that's okay. I mean, I still have tomorrow off to work on it.
Ahh... that's the motto of a true procrastinator. "But it's still thirteen hours before it's due..." Why am I a procrastinator? I work best under pressure, is true- something I've written as quickly as possible in very little time can get comments back from teachers- "Wonderful! You must have spent a lot of time on this!"- but procrastination is still a bad habit. And it can be that I not just work best under pressure, but work only under pressure. Unless it's writing done on my own time, with something I enjoy instead of a project that just seems to be a huge looming headline. For example, I really, really enjoyed the satiric newspaper assignment and finished writing long before the due date, though I ended up gluing it all together at about midnight before it was due. But the hard part was done. Besides, I had just spent all evening gluing together a collage of Just a Minute for a notebook cover, and that seemed so much more important at the time. And THAT is the curse of procrastination-ism. Not only that something doesn't seem that important, but in retrospect the things that seemed more important look pretty silly. Although I love my Just a Minute notebook.
But did I do better on my newspaper because I loved the notebook? Of course not. Will I do better on my Awakening MWDS having taken a break to blog? Of course not. And that's why procrastination is idiotic, stupid, and pointless.
I say all this as I'm blogging while a MWDS is waiting, open, for me to work on.
I say all this as I'm about to go upstairs and listen to Maria Arredondo while contemplating certain things, which I can contemplate a lot and I still won't do a single thing about it. But, I will anyway...
I say all this and it doesn't change in the slightest what I will actually do.
I suppose ranting is pointless.
But it makes me feel better.
You are a White fairy!

To be making a difference. To be at the heart of the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil. My heart was almost breaking at the thought of a life of insignificance."
