Hello! How are you all going? Missing me? I actually did miss you guys, but I'm back now so it's all good :).
Exams finished last Monday, but I wanted to relax, then on Tuesday and Wednesday I made dinner and so obviously couldn't write anything! On Thursday I had sport, on Friday I decided Howl's Moving Castle took priority and then on Saturday I was unwell and had better things to do (like listen to Hamish and Andy while attempting to play the Mincraft demo) but you finally get something today! Now, Philosopher suggested the Story of Exams in gif form because "Everyone likes gifs" but I decided that

so you get this instead:
I'm terrible when it comes to procrastination- I know that's a common illness but I thought I would share my own little anecdotes that you can read whilst procrastinating! Procrastination for me goes in one of two ways: either super (paradoxically) efficient or super inefficient.
 |
| Both are equally well travelled! |
Pathway One: Instead of actually completing anything productive I organise myself. And then organise a little more. And then reorganise. Repeat process three times. I mean I couldn't possibly ever write ay blogs without an extensive list of topics, with cross-referenced topics, nor could I ever do any study if I didn't have three highly detailed study plans that took an hour to make. And just imagine doing any work without first spending an hour researching and reviewing productivity apps!

| I only own two of these. Better get researching! http://thelearningexplosion.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/28-productivity-apps-and-tools.html |
Pathway Two: Instead of actually doing anything productive I do pointless things. Why would you study or complete homework when you could roughly sketch new designs for the UN website, or make pompoms, or woollen dolls, or gift tags? And looking at hundreds of craft blogs is so much better than commerce could ever be, even if it does make me feel like a 40 year old full-time mother.

In conclusion, I often end up doing the second half on assignments the night before and writing daily drama reflections on the bus in the morning. I probably should work on these habits, but because I still get good marks and don't get (too) stressed- I only have crying breakdowns about once a term- I've never felt particularly motivated to change; however I know I need to before it's too late and I fail the HSC and Uni. Oh! One more little anecdote: Instead of writing Chapter 4 of GP(our book, for any newcomers), I put together a soundtrack for it, consisting of our characters favourite music O_O. Oops.
Anyway, moving along....
Word of the Week is Idiographic:
Relating to, or involving the study, of a specific case or event
Goodbye! Love and hugs to you all! Go and listen to some of your favourite music, while dancing around wherever you are -yes, even in public. Now, let me go do my commerce homework.
