Well, all two of you who are reading this, it’s once again two in the morning, and I have to write another blog. I think this stands as suitable proof of my procrastination that I’m doing my stand-up comedy assignment at the very last minute. But really, I have been having a hard time actually doing my work ever since I came to UC Santa Cruz. The problem is that once I start to work, every single other thing becomes amazingly intriguing. I mean absolutely everything else becomes interesting. At one point I tried to engage my roommate in a nose picking contest. Another time, I played a daredevil game called, “What can I get away with throwing out the window?” Needless to say, I don’t get work done efficiently.
I have a much different work system than most people. Some people take breaks at every paragraph or so. I generally take breaks after each sentence, or sometimes even after each word. I asked my roommate to read my essay so far once, and this is how the conversation went.
Natan: “Read it out loud for me”
Me: “The way.”
Natan: “The way what?”
Me: “You asked me to read it out loud.”
Natan: “Oh. I hope the minimum word count is two.”
It was then that I realized that I needed to start my essay out differently, so I deleted “the way”. I then gave myself a half hour break for putting in the effort to delete those words.
Before I go, I would like to say to all you amateur procrastinators out there: there’s so much to be done with coathangers. Next time you’re writing an essay, give them a shot. Also, crushing bananas is loads of fun. So, if you are ever in my room and it smells rancid, now you know why!
