Procrastination is the key to a successful life.

List of things I should be doing:

-Reading the articles for my American Lit. paper
-Writing my American Lit. paper

-Studying for my American Lit. test

-Getting the notes from the days I missed American Lit.

-Working on my OnTap articles- 2 as of right now

-Working on my Odradek story- I have about 5 first sentences that I plan on extending, but I'm not sure which one I want to commit to doing yet

-Writing my Spectator article

-Writing out notecards for my Law and Journalism test

-Studying for my Law and Journalism test

-Spanish Quia


So, that means I am really procrastinating. Really. It might sound really strange, but I love having all those papers and articles to do. I LOVE being busy, but I wait until the last minute to do anything. My high school teachers taught me to do that. I got almost all A's in high school and waited until the last minute to do everything. I still get all A's and B's and wait until the last minute to do everything. I wonder how amazing all my stuff would be if I acutally scheduled out finishing it earlier. That might be A++ work. Woah.


So, the gym. I had my first experience in the VSU gym on Tuesday and I am not cut out for working out. Ok, well I am really going to try starting this month, but yeah, I was pathetic. The girls ran an average of maybe 8 laps and on lap 3 I thought I was having a heart attack. My body is made for walking. After, I worked on my arms using a weight, and then my thighs on some gyno looking machine, and then I woke up on Wednesday and thought I wasn't going to be able to move. Are you kidding me? It motivated me to working out more. I want to be able to run. And have abs. I want to look like this-

(Ok, so I totally just didn't use my head, google image searched "hot bodies" and got an array of boobs and dicks all over the screen. Remind me to turn on safesearch next time.)



Hahahaha. That would be the day! But, I'll just pretend I could actually accomplish looking like that. The naked cowboy guy said that everyone should aspire to be something they know they can never be in a million years, but why aspire for anything less? Leave it to the naked cowboy guy to provide us with the most important life lessons.
So, I'm really bummed that Holly and Hugh Hefner broke up. Really. Mom said he was looking for a new girlfriend and that I should try out. Ha. Like I'd want to kiss and sleep with that old geezer. I'd love to meet him and follow his footsteps by having an amazing magazine and house, but I sadly could not bring myself to be a girlfriend. Plus, I'm not anywhere near blonde and my boobs may be of size but my waist needs to lost a few inches.
Oh. I do have to mention my newest project. Since I've been super busy with school and totally into doing my own thing and having no time for other stuff, blah blah blah. I decided it would be really nice to find out how to send cards, letters, boxes, or whatever to soldiers overseas who don't have someone back home. I found an amazing website called Anysoldier that gives out 2 addresses a week out of a list of soldiers who post what they and others need/want and allows us (by us I mean those living in the U.S. not currently on a base overseas) to send things to the men and women who rarely get anything. Sweet huh?
