Procrastinate now

Don't put it off.

So who else out there is in love with Ellen Degeneres [in a completely heterosexual way]?  Seriously, I think she is the funniest person alive.  And if I ever hit the big time and have millions of dollars to do whatever with, I plan on doing exactly that--whatever I want, Ellen style.  Anyways, she has this stand-up routine that my friend got for me a few years back.  Hilarious doesn't even begin to describe it.  I'm not even kidding, go to Youtube and type in "Ellen Degeneres Here and Now" and be prepared to laugh my friends.

So why am I telling you all of this?  Well you see, the underlying theme of her routine is procrastionation.  And what am I doing right now?  Yep, you guessed it--I'm procrastinating.  Hard.Core.  You see, I have two tests this week.  And have I put in any real studying effort as of this moment?  Ummm...no.

You know those weeks where you're looking forward to something awesome [such as a visit from your sister and her kids] and that makes you not want to do anything at all, even though in reality if you keep yourself busy the week will probably go by faster?  And instead you let yourself keep getting distracted by anything and everything.  And you get that gut-wrenching feeling when you realize you know absolutely nothing about what you're being tested on and you're probably gonna fail?  But then that calm feeling of whatever happens, happens takes over and you tell yourself its no big deal after all...except it still is a little bit.

So now that I've successfully procrastinated for a while, I'm going to go study some anatomy.
And take a shower.
And clean my room.
And fold my laundry.
And re-organize my iTunes.
And watch more videos on Youtube.
And just about anything else I can think of instead of studying.
