Ah, today.
Today [or what remains of it] will be filled with the effects of months of procrastination.
Yes. Semester end this week.
And all late work is due on Monday.
Tomorrow.
Less than 24 hours from now.
And who hasn't started on any of it?
Why, Jamie of coarse!
But actually, I don't think there's that much left to be done.
Some German, some english, some chemistry....more of this, more of that...[lots of math]
And then we start out with a crisp, shiny new semester.
New beginnings.
Because ending is beginning, right?
This semester will end, and then we'll start a new one, with all A's.
I wonder how long I can keep that up.
A month?
A week?
A day?
Till June?
Here's my new plan, and the way I see it:
I can control when I do my homework, how much I study, and how much I procrastinate, however hard those things are to control.
So, less procrastinating and more working.
I need to set up a system, and stick to it.
There's about 6 months to go.
I. Can. Do. It.
Mmhmm.
I can.
And I hope I will.
It's never too late to turn things around.
I can't erase all the damage that I've done, but I can "turn a new leaf" [whatever that means] and start being a responsible student.
I love that its taken me until my Junior year of high school to realize this.
And I have tried this before.
But now the end is a lot closer in sight.
Which is good.
It's motivating.
I will stay organized this semester.
It shall and will be done.
It's still just school.
I'm not going to make it an obsession.
But I am going to give it a lot more attention.
And who says it has to be my enemy?
And the least we can be "frenemies".
Maybe I will find a new friend in the entity that is school.
This entity that has been a burden.
Maybe it has unnecessarily been so.
I've always thought of responsibility as boring.
Let's change that.
Hooray for being responsible!
Enthusiasm!
I will change my mindset.
Yessss.
