Perhaps It's Just a Phase . . .

I have spent my entire student career as a slacker and a procrastinator. All through high school and elementary school I seldom studied (and if I did, it was moments before the test/exam), my papers were written last minute (often right before class) and I spent little to no time outside of class practicing my second language (which would no doubt explain why I dropped it due to my restricted comprehension I had after having studied it for 12 years).
Even my first year of university I did limited amounts of reading and studying, and my papers were- for the most part- done only hours before they were due!
And it all worked out! I passed and other then my most recent semester, I did well!

And now here you find me in my second year of university, and it seems my study habits have taken a turn for the better. In fact, I am worried that I may be becoming a NERD.
You may wonder what drastic changes I have made to give me such fears . . .
~ for one, I am all caught up on my reading assignments
~ for two, it was done before the day it was due
~ for three . . .

I JUST MADE FLASH CARDS

*SHIVER*

I'm not too sure what possessed me to do such a thing. But they are made, over 100 of them.
And this was all done during a time that I could be at the zoo for free! But instead I'm in my room, studying . . .

~what would my mother say?!~

For the record, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a 'nerd'. A friend once told me, well, wrote on the back of an elementary school picture (not the point), that I should never be afraid to overachieve. Half amusing, half very profound. Take care, love you.

i wear the "Slacker" shirt...i know what it's like to procrastinate...do the paper after it's due and still get an A...it's a wonderful thing but dead languages will teach you...that slacking off will only kill you in the end...But i am still a slacker
