Do it to it

It snowed yesterday. Kind of random considering it's not even Halloween. This is a little more north than I've been, but come on? Winter in October? You have got to be kidding me. I did not appreciate that little gift. I don't start to appreciate it until after Thanksgiving. But that's okay. It kept me inside so I could "do my homework."

That was a random look into my mind about how I feel about the temperature and early winter in Decorah, IA.

So I came back from fall break and had to work, which was... terribly painful for my psyche, but I got paid for it, so I wasn't going to complain. After that, I beached. I met up with the friends and didn't do anything. It was amazing, I'm not going to lie. Thursday was the same and I loved it. I just slept all day and then watched TV and got on the ever deadly facebook.

Then midnight rolled around and Friday slapped me in the face. Last time, I mentioned something about laziness and getting destroyed--it still applies during and after break. Had I done ANY of my homework prior to Thursday, I might not have gone to bed a three in the morning, still not done with it. It was a headache to deal with.

After that tragic Friday, I had a tragic Sunday [I clearly don't learn from my lessons] and then it was Monday. I managed to barely scrape by, but after a long talk with my god-mother, who works on campus, I decided that none of that was going to happen. So! With new found determination and responsibility I went to the Diversity Office and had a talk with one of the people that had asked me to come in on Friday [oops! (and it's okay to do that, as long as you COME IN)] and got my shots so that I could register for classes next semester and sat down to do my homework.

... sort of. There might have been a trip to the cemetary sometime during the 'doing homework'. Bu no worries. It's getting done as we speak. One page is this blog, another is the website I'm getting my information off of, and then there's aim. Hooray for multitasking! The iTunes is on too. Can't forget that.

Hey, everyone has their own study habits--mine might just be a little distracting. But at least I'm doing it.

In college, the professors may not collect the homework or the meetings may not be necessary or can be done later, but one day, that professor might suddenly ask for that assignment attached to your paideia paper [true story] and those meetings might be extra credit and later turns into late. So, just do the work and all of it is gonna come back A+ [or at least with credit].
