Just Do It... Later (Sponsored by Nike)

As I may have mentioned, but am much to lazy to go check if I actually have, my motivation for school is in the negatives. Yes, in fact, your eyes are reading correctly, I have generated negative motivation. I literally (and I do mean literally in a literal way) have motivation to not do my homework or study for that one final. A friend of mine, and fellow blogge, told me that he needs to learn to live by one quote, "If you say, 'I'll do it in the morning,' you've already lost." I, like him, desperately need to learn the same.

I remember when I would willingly stay up 'till midnight just to finish that last assignment, granted back then I had to wake up at 7:30 rather than 6:00. Now, I kinda sit there at 10 p.m. and I'm thinking,"I can wake up in the morning, I know I never have before, but this time will be different." So there I am, set my alarm for 5 a.m., and I crash. This is where the outcome become split. Option A: I hit that 1 in infinity chance of actually waking up and dazing my way through the assignment. Option B: I sleep through my alarm, it automatically shut off (not sure why it does that), my mum finds me passed out on my bed, yells at me, I chase bus without pants, realize I don't have pants, come home, grab pants, chase after bus while putting said pants on, die of exhaustion... the end. Option 3: I subconsciously turn off my alarm resulting in Option B. Finally, Option IV: I subconsciously postpone my alarm in 5-10 minute increments until I actually have to wake up (did you notice my changing of numbering on my options?).

"I can finish it in the morning, I'm like, halfway done."

Now, I've reached the point where the quote I'm living by is "Due tomorrow, do tomorrow, due in class, do in class." *Sweet guitar riff plays in background. Hahahaha, no, it's terrible. I used to procrastinate pretty bad, but it was just doing my homework a night before it was due, and I'd be crashing by 10. Now, I am sad to say, I'm sitting in class wondering how to do my homework that is due at the end of class because I didn't pay attention last class because I was wondering how to do my homework that was due at the end of class because... and so on. It's a viscous cycle that I can't escape.

I'm not the only one either, if I look around, my peers are the same way, we really should get it together. I mean, while I'm sitting panicking about not knowing how to finish my math homework, there are at least eight other kids doing the same thing, and one's about to pass out. I need to create a good work ethic for when I'm out in the real world and now is the time to make one. Man that sounded like Mom advise... well, to be honest, I and my peers really should. Personally, I think that I just gotta do it... next year right?
