I'm pretty sure I am not the only one who feels this way, but I simply cannot be still while on break. Believe me, I am in dire need of relaxation, but it is easier said than done. As Newton's First Law states: an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force. That's exactly what is going on right now. I should be relaxing, reading, or watching TV, but instead I am constantly itching to do something. Unfortunately, I have schoolwork to do, but no desire to do it. My life right now is basically trying to find ways to stay busy but avoid doing actual work.
It is beginning to get pathetic.
A list of things that I am doing instead of relaxing or homework:
1. Organizing
So far, I have cleaned up half my room and organized my stuff that I brought home into three bins: decorations, things needed in order to move out, and keepsakes. It is a little ridiculous. I still have another half a room that I plan on cleaning and I imagine that the extent of my work will probably reach my closet if I am not careful.
Yes, this is how I procrastinate.... Don't judge.
2. Packing
I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon to visit Chicago and I am already packed. I know that this is a good thing in theory, but I am normally the person to wait until the last minute to pack. The fact that I am already done is a little weird. Am I going to stop? Nope.
3. Knitting
I have just started a new knitting project! It occupied me for a couple of hours, and then I quit because I couldn't sit there any longer. I really need to do this knitting project, but apparently it isn't quite living up to my standards for busy work.
4. Netflix
I just found The Prince and Me on Netflix! I am so happy! Naturally I watched that instead of doing actual work today. Of course, I have also watched a lot of Dexter the last couple of days (along with other things of course. I can't simply relax...).
5. Eating
This is so bad. I am losing a lot of weight in general, but now that I have come home, I can't stop eating! I've had to trap myself in my bedroom just to keep me away from the snacks! I really don't want to lose progress especially since I am only eating out of boredom.
6. Blogging
My internet sucks right now. My hemming post took me over three hours to post despite the fact that it only took me about fifteen minutes to write. Yet, I still keep blogging. It is something to do and I haven't missed a day since I started! Believe me, I am not giving up on you guys!
List of things I should be doing:
1. Studying
I have to study for SAI this week and I also happen to have a big German test the day I get back. I also have a German oral exam the next Wednesday, a composition due on Tuesday, and a ton of music to learn a well. This is really bad. The hard part is, I can't start my composition until I get to Chicago because my piano is at school, and I really can't stand the idea of studying right now! I need an intervention...
2. Practicing
Story of my life. I always should be practicing... Am I? Nope. If I don't get on that, I will never make it to Disney...
3. Getting a haircut
I tried and failed to schedule an appointment. I waited too long and forgot the whole lack-of-car problem. My hair is getting pretty gross; I will have to get it cut when I go back to school or something. Split ends are a bear....
4. Seeing friends
I should be putting forth the effort to see friends, and I have tried, but everyone is busy! Including myself. Plus, I don't have a car. Excuses, excuses. I am secretly hoping someone will drive to the middle of nowhere just to visit me! Not going to happen....
And that has been the first few days of my spring break so far! Are you struggling like I am? Please tell me I'm not the only one who procrastinates by doing more work! If you need any ways to procrastinate, feel free to steal my ideas! Also, if you have any more ideas, I wouldn't mind hearing them (although I really shouldn't...)!
