Me Art of Procrastination
Question...have u experienced a stage in your life when you have something of uttermost importance tt u must do but u just cant find the urge, motivation or even time to do it?
For me, I seem to be going through this period now. Exams are less than 2 weeks away and wat a normal undergrad would tell me now is tt I should be mugging away. But it seems weird cos everytime I start flipping through the lect material, tutorials or textbooks, I start to think of other things to do.
My mum wont complain cos she always comes home to see all the dishes washed, the floor swept and windows wiped. I noe I noe, under normal circumstances, u would have to pay me to do all these and even so I may refuse.
Tts not all, after all the chores are done, I start browsing through a comic which I had went through a thousand times. Not tt I wanna exaggerate but if were to take the comic and ask me wat happens on each page, I can. Then there is the collection of VCDs just waiting to be watched over n over again. Just last week, I watched 7 of them in 2 days.
In case u r thinking "hey, this guys has nothing better to do.", I couldnt agree more. To think tt refraining from watching TV, playing games and going out would be the ultimate step to developing a conducive environment and mood for studying is a mistake. Although I am proud to declare tt I had not clicked on a warcraft icon for more than 2 months and TV had been restricted to selected programs onli like news(gotta keep current if u dun wanna be the frog in the well), the target of 6hrs of quality studying per day has not been achieved even once.
Often, the above mentioned acts of procrastination will bring me through the day and the same thing tt happens every time happens again.
*Looking at the clock.*
"Fuck, its 11 already, must get in at least 3 hrs of study before I sleep".
*Flips open a book, starts reading the first line and feels eyes getting heavy.*
"Maybe I will study extra tml."
*Closes the book, and finds something to do before sleeping, switches on TV / loads in a VCD / opens another comic.*
"Ok, I will sleep in half an hour."
*3 hrs later, feels a bit hungry.*
"Maybe I should cook something to eat."
*Another 3 hrs later, sees the sun rising and outside getting brighter.*
"Ok, I realli must sleep now."
Well, I guess wat I can do now is pray realli hard: "To all the gods, pls lend me ur power and make me pass all my papers. Pass can liao, but if can get B or above would be better." Or maybe I should start off by burning my comics, giving away my VCDs and destroying my TV.
Yar, like real...
