Procrastination always wins.

This week destroyed me. Destroyed me. Being a senior, I had Part II due on Thursday, and I had to reconstruct my Rhetorical Analysis Paper. That's a ton of writing, 27 pages if you want the exact number. How did I do it? I did it at the last  moments possible.

Sometimes I wish society still wrote with ink-tipped feathers on scrolls. Computers are the biggest distraction ever. Instead of hurting your brain cells by composing true literary art, you could numb/kill them by logging on to facebook and talk about the latest drama that won't matter 1 week from now. Or you could check scores of the game, look at funny pictures, and tweet about how you are procrastinating.

Before I would attempt to write while making 2 sandwiches, maybe some chips and salsa, and doing anything but writing. But to combat with my procrastination methods, I had to think of a solution. This week I used our publicly funded libraries to help me out. All I brought was my iPod of jams, and my assignment sheets.

When I got there I was amazed at what other teenagers did. They met in "study groups" and blabbered on about stuff they weren't studying about. Others were facebook stalking in front of everybody (Everybody does it, but these people don't care who sees). Here I was, with the same distractions I face at home without food. And I was hungry.

But somehow, someway I trained myself to imagine this computer only had Word 2010 and NOTHING else.  I jammed to many a tune and typed away. Sure it was the last hours possible to complete all this writing I was assigned, but by putting myself in an imaginary world without distractions I did it. Am I crazy because I have to imagine a land without distractions? Maybe a little, but it works.
