DREAMER

Why is it that every time I have loads of work to do, tons of distractions come with it?
It’s as if they can never be apart from each other.

I go to sites I have never even thought of going to before, and therefore I waste about an hour in an instant.

I should be preparing for my English presentation tomorrow, gathering notes and organizing, and practicing for my finals. But what am I doing? Writing a blog. I’m telling you, writing blogs are actually fun! Who knew?

But, please. Could someone please tell me why all these distractions just pop up from nowhere?!

to put of doing something.

I have so many things to do right now: English Travesties poster, starting my English final, do my math homework, study for Spanish, practice for my Orchestra final performance, read, study for the SATs coming up, start reviewing for chem, and SLEEP.

I have been sleep deprived, not as much during second semester than first semester. I have stayed up for two nights in a row studying on school-nights. I absolutely do not know how I survived. On the third day, I came straight home from school, lied in bed, and slept. I actually had a tutor come that day, but I could not get up. I slept for sixteen hours straight - with my hard contact lenses on. Ouch. Then I wondered why. Why is it that I sleep more during second semester? I still receive the same amount of work. Then I figured it out. I actually started my homework as soon as I got home and didn’t leave it to sit on my desk until 10 pm. I was able to finish everything earlier than before and I went to bed earlier than usual.

Did you know that procrastination is also connected to addiction? I’m talking about addiction such as internet addiction or game addiction. These addicts “avoid reality” by searching the internet or playing games. Although I am not addicted to either, I still think I am on the internet a lot. Even now, I had eight different tabs open: one for writing my blog, three for wikipedia, one for google, one for gmail, one for flickr, one for youtube, and once for Lost the TV show. It’s acutally amazing I don’t have facebook open. Either way, the wikipedia sites have been open for a couple of days now because of my English homework. I have had them open, but I never actually bothered to read them. Why? Procrastination.

I am planning to get rid of this way of working because it is obviously getting in the way of everything I do.

I am going to stop writing blogs now since I have written so many these past two days. If you happen to be reading this, and you have other things to do, then

HW assignment: write a paragraph

How many students actually “write” the paragraph? Most of us would probably type it. Using computers for schoolwork has become a habit, more like a routine. I am even using my computer as I am writing my blog. But I find it funny that I say I’m “writing” my blog when I’m actually typing it or working on it. Since when has typing and writing become the same thing?

Sure, it’s very similar but it’s different also. I find that I can’t concentrate as well when I am typing. I make more grammar and spelling errors than when I am handwriting. My train of thought is constantly interrupted because it’s so easy to get distracted - it’s literally a mouse click away, or actually a tap of the finger. But I still haven’t figured out which is better since they both have advantages and disadvantages. Right now, I would have to say handwriting may be more time consuming but is better because it may be an alternative way to practice and prepare for SAT essays because, obviously, we won’t have access to our Macbooks then. But I would hate it if I had to handwrite my blogs. Blogs are a different case, I think. There is no literal “blog book” where you publish your blogs into an actual book. A blog will always be on the internet. So this is an exception. But so many students type their homework instead of handwriting. I personally prefer typing it also, but I think it would be more useful if we handwrite.
