Sloth...

So, I haven't posted in ages... >.> don't judge me. I have been sick, tired and overall letting one of the seven deadly sins kick my butt. Sloth. (don't judge me on tat last sentence either. I find that sloth can be used in all forms making the singular word a sentence. "Man look at that sloth!" ~Noun. "You are so slothy." ~Adjective. "I slothed on that paper." ~Verb.)

Anyways, I have been doing other things that have prevented me from blogging. Like being a sloth. No, really though, I have been working on my debate stuff... I have to create a case from nothing and back files for negative. If you have no clue what that means, which most won't, just know that it requires many, MANY, hours of tedious work reading and rereading article of all kinds, copying them and creating citations for ALL of the article I copy from. You thought you hated your life when you had to create a five source Works Cited page for a paper you wrote. Trying doing 10 times that every day for the rest of the school year. ITS NOT FUN! However, I have fun winning so I will do it. Long story short, I haven't been entirely a sloth, but there are somethings I could be spending more time on... this leads me to my next "rule" for college! (I put quotations around that because really, in college, there are no rules..."

TIME ALLOCATION:

I suck at this. You should let your judgement on me come through harshly because, honestly, I do really, really suck at time management. Learn from my mistakes before you make them yourselves... Here just as an example I will give you an hour by hour lay out of my last friday. (this is really painful for me as I was telling myself al day to get up and do something... Buuttt yea... I didn't do a darn thing.)

Friday:

8:45 Roll out of bed for my class at nine. I jump up, throw clothes on and practically run to class and make it with a minute to spare. I did not sleep through my alarm... I just chose not to get up when it went off and snoozed like a bazillion times.

9:50 Class is out thank goodness, now I have to go and pic up a camera for my next class. The teacher says "come back in an hour I have a class right now."So, I choose the responsible thing to do which is go to the cafeteria and eat for 20 minutes. I still had time left over so I thought I would take a nap. So, I walked back to the Debate squad room and fell asleep in the floor. (I had stayed up late the night before watching Being Human.)

10:55 I had set an alarm for this time reminding me to go get a camera, slept through it... again...

11:20 I finally  peel myself off of the floor and haul myself up a half flight of stairs to check out my camera.

11:30 Drive back home and go right back to sleep for a few hours.


2:30 wake up and instead of doing my homework that is due monday, play games on the computer.

3:45 decide I am hungry again and eat

4:30 email back my future employer to set up times to fill out paper work

5:00 back to gaming

7:00 reply to an email telling a high school debate coach that I would go to her debate tournament with her saturday morning at 6:00 am.

7:10 promptly regretted saying I would voluntarily waking up at 5:30.

7:15 realizes that the kids on the team need me and tell myself I really want to help them!

7:30 goes and sits down infront of the TV and watches more Being Human.

1:30 finally lays down to sleep.


5:30 am. Regrets not going to sleep earlier... >.>



Don't let sloth kick your butt. Get up, go to class, do your homework, and get stuff done. End of story.
