Procrastination sucks big time

Procrastination is no fun and an awful habit that I have. Wish they had something that you could chew or drink or smoke for it! I have become a prime victim of this stress increasing addiciton! It seems that all of my papers and assignments are due at the same time, and it also seems as if I am the only one to blame. I told myself at the beginning of the year that I was going to kick this procrastination perpetrator in the butt! But low-and-behold it snuck up on me and took a bite out of my planned free time. I now spend the time I normally would enjoy kicking back watching soccer, studying, writing papers, and stressing (a bad combination). One thing that I have learned to do when I am “stuck in a pickle” is to talk to my professors. For some odd reason they have this ability to calm my nerves and help me manage my life, while putting their life aside for a moment. One day one of my professors asked me to stay after class because he wanted to talk to me. My first instinct, and I think everyone has this instinct, is to mentally run through everything you ever did or said that might constitute some kind of punishment. Nothing came to my mind and so I was rather dumb-founded and worried to what this meeting would encompass. It turns out that he was worried because he noticed I had been stressing over things I would not normally stress about and stayed after class to talk to me and make sure that everything was going ok. The funny thing was I wasn’t surprised with the conversation. I have had many of the same talks with most of my professors here, which makes me feel not only like I am getting my money’s worth here at Memphis. Talking about this care reminds of my family and that in-turn reminds me of the holidays around the corner. Enjoy your Christmas and the family that cares for you.
Ah….smell that home cookin’!
