39. I want to kick myself.

Or rather, I would want to kick myself if I wasn’t afraid it would hurt my back.
And I don’t mean a delicate little tap, no, I’m talking intense wallops.

I’ve had all week to work on a particular assignment. A rather important one. We were given class time, and our very laid back teacher didn’t press us too hard on it. Still, I thought it best not to mention to her that I took advantage of her generosity and spent all my lessons talking in class, working on assignments for other classes, listening to music via the iPod I smuggled in and being an all round terrible student.

I didn’t think it was that big a deal though, since I counted on having all weekend to work on it. Of course, when I woke up I put it off to watch my Saturday morning cartoons and a few episodes of ‘That 70’s Show’ and ‘Dharma and Greg’ because, well, who could say no to such television hits?

One way or another, when I finally stepped away from the TV it was 4.30 and I hadn’t gotten any work done. On top of it all, I had plans from 5 till 9 in the afternoon.
(Incidentally, that was a lot of fun. I met up with about 15 friends and we played really strange games with a ball in Friend One’s backyard. Sorry, that sounded inappropriate. For the record, I was talking about a game that was a mix of soccer, basketball, volleyball and hand ball that ended up being hilarious, but invariably strange.)
When I got back home, I was in no mood to do homework and jumped online to talk to some other friends about plans we have for tomorrow. Anyway, it’s now quarter past twelve in the morning and I haven’t so much as gone near the assignment.

Hopefully I’ll have enough time on Sunday (enough time today, I should say) to finish it off.

*It’s interesting to see that most of my school-related posts revolve around procrastination. If this blog has accomplished anything, it’s pointing out to me that I really do have a problem that I should be working on. I’m all for self improvement. Unfortunately, considering the nature of my problem, I don’t think I’ll be seeing any improvement for a while yet.
