This will probs be a short post because I'm 'supposed' to be working at the moment.
Anyway, I'm a pretty organized person, right? I keep track of what needs to be done and when, I make lists, I keep my calendar well-updated, but what happens after that?
When it comes to school, yeahhh i procrastinate. We all know that, but I know precisely how long I have to procrastinate and always try to get the easy things done first to extend that time. I'm okay with losing a little sleep here and there for school, whatever.
But HOW do you balance your HOBBIES?!
I have too many.
Too many that I want to do now. But of course, they take time. I don't have enough time to do them. I don't want to stay up all night crafting - as fun as it is. I just can't justify that bit to myself.
Whenever I have free time, half of it is spent wondering what I want to do.
Do I want to read? (I have two books currently that I'm reading, so which one?)
Do I want to write? (Writing takes a lot of time and energy from me.)
Do I want to paint my nails? (I rarely do nail art anymore.)
Do I want to play video games? (WHICH ONE DO I PLAY!?)
Do I want to watch TV, or Netflix? (Can I do that while doing something else?)
Do I want to work on my rug? (Yes, I am making a rug right now.)
Do I want to sleep?
Do I want to hang with friends?
Do I want to draw, or paint?
Do I want to play Pokemon? (Online trading card game or my emulator?)
It's too difficult to decide! Sometimes, I try to do multiple at a time, but that doesn't always work either.
Does anyone else ever have this problem or is it just me?

Easier Said Than Done
"I'm going to stop procrastinating from this point on!"
"I'm finally caught up on my work, I should work ahead!"
"I'm going to do my homework as soon as it's assigned!"
Yeahhh riight.. How many of you have told yourself these phrases or something along those lines?
*Raising my hand*
Recently?
*Raising my hand*
Me too.
In fact, last night, after my night class, I realized that I had a lot of stuff to get finished before May, so I decided that I was going to stay up all night and get the bulk of my workload completed so that I wouldn't need to be as stressed in my last couple weeks before finals/graduation. Yeah, that didn't work out so well. By midnight I was already feeling tired, by 1:30am I was battling the weight of my eyelids. I was in bed by 1:45am. I got 1.3 assignments completed. *sigh*
I honestly do not know how most of ya'll do it. All nighters for projects, exams, movie marathons, insomnia, random homework assignments, etc. My resolve just is not that strong.
So yeah, pretty much all three of those phrases above were combined and spilled out my mouth with extreme determination.
"I'm going to catch up on my assignments, work ahead, and lessen my workload so that I don't fall behind during finals and I'm ultimately less stressed."
Silly me. I failed. I got what I needed done for the next day, and I really tried to work ahead, but I was defeated by my own brain. Silly brain, trying to keep my healthy with sleep. Pshh.
But, momma didn't raise no quitter! Today, I've already completed one assignment not due until May 3. It was short, easy, and I had time. Score!
How awesome am I? I'm writing a blog post, about how I'm trying to be proactive and not procrastinate, while I'm Not accomplishing that goal at the moment by writing this blog.
Yayyyy! Contradictions.
Hopefully though, even though I didn't get everything done that I wanted to get done last night/this morning, I can do it all tonight. Because then I have even More that I need to get done tomorrow.
I hate my life right now...
23 days left until Graduation and counting. Thank goodness.
Thanks for reading today's nearly pointless post. :P

My Crazy, Beautiful Life
Okay so, here's some background info on this post.
I. Despise. MTV.
Never has a show caught my eye for more than an episode. And that's only happened when joining others at the TV and they're already watching. (for example: Teen Mom 2 - don't even get me started)
Over my Spring Break, my sister introduced me to this show called Awkward. It's an MTV show. I hated myself for even enjoying it at first. But then my obsession killed any and all guilt, and now I look forward to every new episode. I went through the whole day yesterday (Tuesday), waiting for it to be 9 o' clock, because it was the highlight of my schedule. Pitiful? Meh, there are worse things.
After the new episode Awkward was over, this show called the Girl Code came on. Since it didn't look too horrible, I was too lazy to move, and mostly because the previews had me laughing my bum off, I decided to keep MTV on. Whoops! I think I love this show now too. Dang.
Then, I continued to play games on my computer and left the TV on with MTV playing and, did you know Ke$ha has a new show? I didn't. But I love her music. I own all three of her albums. So I watched that show too. I think it was the series premiere? Anyway. It was amazing.
I've been following Ke$ha on FB and Twitter for years now, and I've seen the tabloids, read the stories, heard the rumors, questioned her over-obsession over glitter, but I've never even thought about her as a Person. I always try to the person inside the coat of skin we usually fail to look past. But with celebrities, it's difficult. You're not really able to see past their looks or what you here, because most of the info you get from them, is from the internet or magazines. You can't sit down and chat, or hang out with them. Their too busy for that, you know, being famous?
Anyway, I can't even tell you how many times I got choked up while watching that show! I never would have guessed that I would relate to her more than I have in the short time slot of seeing only a Blip of her life. I've been heartbroken, I've been bullied, I've been doubted. So has she. I know I'm not the only one in the world going through my troubles, but hearing/seeing for yourself... well, it hits home. One of her fans made a scrapbook for her and wrote a letter in it to her, confiding his story. She accepted his gift, listened to him, read that letter (in front of him), gave him a hug, and instilled a new bud of confidence in that kid. (getting emotional again.) It takes a good, kind person to be able to provide that comfort for another, and Ke$ha fits that category. I love and respect her so much more. Just for that episode, and I can't wait to see next weeks, and find out more about Krazy Ke$ha.
Maybe I'll even appreciate glitter like she does... eventually.
Confession: When "Hello Kitty" and I split up, I remember doing everything in my power to keep my mind off of things. I think I rearranged my entire room twice that night. While listening to my iTunes, the song "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" came on and I remember absolutely losing it. Sobbing. While I still tried to sing along. To this day, if I'm even slightly emotional, and that song comes on. It makes me at least tear up. Not because I'm still sad, but because it takes me to that emotional vulnerability, and I instantly connect with the song. It's crazy what 3 minutes of words and rhythm can do to you.
So for those of you who don't like Ke$ha (or any other artist), do it because you don't like her music, not because you think you don't like Her. She deserves better. She stands for so much better.
I guess, what I'm saying, is maybe MTV isn't so bad... (and then True Life came on...*shiver*)
Thanks for reading guys,
