8 minutes in the life of a procrastinator

8 minutes in the life of a procrastinator

by Lizzie
in in my tiny cubicle / private vacuum with books and random dancing

November 8th, 2010

I am sitting here, procrastinating.

I have math to do,

Tests to revise for,

Outside-school work,

But no. I am just sitting here,

Absorbing the smell of my rice

In a haze of unproductivity

Trying not to think about calories.

I am disgruntled by the fact

That we have 6 tests a week

For almost every week

Until December, when the exams come

And then it starts all over again in January.

I don't want to do homework or read physics books or

do "fast-paced online learning"; I think about

What I want to do:

Write my book,

Draw some art,

Live my life beyond the grasp of school

And work

And more work

And even more

Work. But four minutes has passed already

And I'm panicking

Because there is no time for everything

And I will have to work supersuper quick.

I'm tired,

Just came home from dance and physics

And took a shower that I didn't want to end

And now

I have to go memorize Lady Macbeth's speech

For my drama competition.

And then

my homework

And then

Revise for my tests

And then

Do physics

And then

Cram in some nanowrimo time.

So

Tarraaa~

I know how you feel... there's not enough time in one day! I wish I had more writing time.
