EPIC FAIL 3

So this is my second Epic Fail entry in a week, which is pretty bad but expected (unfortunately) since my last two assessments are tomorrow. Procrastination has been something I've been working to change ever since elementary school. I remember that I stayed up until 4 a.m. to write a stupid paper on a Mission (hey for a fourth grader, that's pretty damn late!) More than a decade later, things haven't changed one bit. I think I just hate anything that I HAVE to do. I have a sort of resentfulness towards things that you have to accomplish within a given time period. Though it's highly unrealistic to do everything at your own pace, it's what I like best. Give me a slow work day over a busy, jam-packed-with-customers shift any day.

This reminds me - originally, I couldn't wait to be done with school and start working. I thought that one of the biggest lures to career work is that I wouldn't have to worry about working at home. At the end of the day, once I leave the office, I'm done - all that work will be left behind and I'll be able to watch t.v. or do whatever I pleased. No more worrying about completing math problem sets, cramming for exams, completing papers... I'll be free! Of course, now I know better. Nurses have to take exams to renew their licenses. Doctors have to complete extensive research on a patient's medical problem in order to treat them. I-bankers and businessmen have to compile countless presentations, projects, reports, etc. Every professional job has homework, whether I like it or not. I don't know why I didn't realize it before.

Sometimes I flirt with the idea of running away to an island near Australia and just never coming back home. I'll make a living doing menial labor and live in a little hut on the beach without a care in the world. Man, that would be the life.

EDIT: may I also add that I managed to lose part of my References list for my philosophy paper? I thought I saved it, but when I opened the document, it was my old file. Thank God that it's only the references. What is up with me losing pieces of my work?? Talk about killing incentive to be productive, YOU TOOK MY WORK YOU STUPID COMPUTER! AGAIN!

While I'm on this procrastinating tangent, I've been watching Wong Fu Production's blog videos (yes, I'm a closet fan). Watching them stress, joke around and hang out with each other made me realize how wonderful life would be if you could live with your best friends. I think that would be amazing. Whenever I want someone to eat dinner with me or hang out, all I'll have to do is open the door and shout down the hall. Of course, I'm well aware that there would be short-comings as well, but I'm sure if we all communicated and set down some ground rules, everything will be A-okay (optimistic and idealist side coming out). I will end the post on this happy note. Hopefully the next time I see you guys, I'll be done with my finals and be in a much happier state. Wish me luck! :)
