I have been having sex with procrastination for the last two weeks and I just CAN’T STOP NOW. Procrastination has become both my best friend and biggest enemy. Actually, more like one of those friends that you really like but you know you shouldn’t be hanging out with. I blame this huge rise in my laziness on sleep deprivation and the fact that we only got TEN DAYS for our spring break and that it was in MARCH.

This is when I need a spring break. Right now. Right now, when the days are getting longer and I finally feel relaxed. Too relaxed. I can’t get out of bed in the morning, I can’t stop watching Sex And The City all over again, I can’t stop bundling myself up on the floor pillows in my room and reloading the same websites over and over again. I JUST CAN’T!

I know, I really know, that I should be doing the school work that needs to get done. Not really school work, but school reading. I’ve had two whole weeks to get this history reading done. About sixty pages. Of history. That’s boring. I have had two weeks, and I’ve read about three pages. Then, I guess I was supposed to finish that book for literature, too. I read up to fifty pages away from the end and just stopped. I can’t bring myself to pick it up again and keep reading. Whenever I try to do what I think I really should be doing, my mind goes blank and starts saying things like, “Getting sleep is more important, you can do this tomorrow.”

But I don’t do it tomorrow! Or the day after! I keep putting everything off! Anything that I know I should do, or things that are planned, I just don’t want to do them! Even going to get my computer fixed. I need to get my computer fixed before the new operating system comes out for it, but even that I can’t do. “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Time goes by way too quickly.

I used to hate procrastinating. Even though I still did it all the time back then. I’m starting to get more used to it, though, and I am starting to like it. My procrastination feels like I’m sleeping in a big pile or marshmallows with all of my worries very, very far ahead in the future (like Friday). I don’t have to do this now. I can just cram it all after school. I don’t need to do this now, I’ll just write a blog post instead.
