Laziness gets in the way

232. Ten things you do when you procrastinate.

No one that I have ever known in my life never procrastinate. Everyone has at least procrastinated at least once, probably more than once, in his/ her life time. Even teachers or worst government officials have procrastinated while on their duties. Even the nerdiest nerd procrastinates. I, for a fact, procrastinate all the time.  I usually …

1.       First open up a word document showing that I am not procrastinating but working. However, that document is usually blank or just has my name written at the top. Well at least I am trying to work.

2.       Look around and just stare at one of the pictures on my board above my desk. Relaxation is the key.

3.       Reinvestigate pictures on my laptop. I need ideas for the assignment.

4.       Find something to eat or cook. I cannot work on an empty stomach. Food is important for survival.

5.        Clean up my room. I cannot work with messy surroundings. It is a distraction to my eyes.

6.       Play a game of Minesweeper and then go on Facebook or YouTube. It is necessary to clear my mind on things before working so I have more focus.

7.       Run around the dorm rooms to find someone else to procrastinate with. Friendship is important in life.

8.       Go to sleep. Maybe when I get up I might have no other excuse to procrastinate.  Rest is important. It is impossible to work when tried.    

9.       Sit and stare at the blank word document with just my name on the top right hand corner. Ideas might randomly come into my mind if I do not do anything. I am thinking.

10.   Check my class schedules. Oh, I have study hall tomorrow. I will do this assignment later. I have time.

DO NOT PROCASINATE! One keep finding excuses not to work and in the end no work will be completed.    

The Roommie Talk

247. Write an imaginary dialogue between you and a roommate late at night when the lights are out and neither of you can sleep.

My roommate and I do not talk much after the lights are out because I am usually already deep into my dreams right when the lights are off. You cannot blame me! I love sleeping. However, there are always times when I am not asleep. The lights are to be turned off by a dorm parent. My roommate and I are on our beds staring into our laptops’ monitors, watching movies (in my case anime, usually).  Now the laptops have been shutdown and we do not wish to go to sleep just yet.

My roommate: “Hey, you asleep?”

Me: “nahhh…” “Why?”

My roommate: “Let’s eat. I feel like eating. Let’s make Black Noodles.”

Me: “Kay, even I wanna eat. I can cook it in my rice cooker. You’ve got any water?”

My roommate: “Yeah, here you cook it.”

Me: Cooking “It’s taking so long. I’m hungry. Hey, roomy what time is it?”

My roommate: “Oh! It’s like half past midnight. Anyways, wanna karaoke? ” Starts rapping Supper Bass by Nikki Minaj.

Me: “Hey, me too.” Start singing the chorus and going off tune, too high.

                Checking up on the noodles, “Come eat, I’m eating yarr. Come no?”

My roommate: “Leave some for me. I provided the noodles.” Continue to rap.

Me: “I’m finishing it. ;p”

My roommate: “I’m coming.” Comes to eat on my desk.

Another girl from the next door enters into the dark room.

Girl: “What are you guys doing? It’s already 3 o’clock.”

Me and my roommate: “eating, want some?”

Girl: sat down on one of the beds and start talking about her day. “You know? I got so irritated today. Blah Blah Blah”

Me: “Really? Oh by the way this happened today. Blah Blah Blah.”

My roommate: “Seriously guys…. Internet was so slow I can’t even load an episode of ……..”

In the end the chaos conversation between three friends ended and we all went to bed super late and also got up late.

Daydream

246 what I think about when I’m not listening

Imagine being in a long, everlasting, and boring devotion where none of the words that is continuously flying out of the speaker’s mouth go through your ears. Your eyes are not even focused on the speaker but rather outside the window.  Eyes are fixed and became non-movable even when hands are waved right in front of them. It is the process of daydreaming. Daydreaming can happen at any time and anywhere. In this process, the daydreamer is usually thinking and has thoughts running around in his/her brain without any or little conscience present.

When the daydreamer is daydreaming, nothing else matters and many thoughts or worries run through from each corner of the brain to the next. Sometimes we are so deep into this process that even when a person is trying to bring us back into the reality (the boring devotion sadly) with their voices or pokes, we can see nothing. We feel nothing except the feeling and emotions inside us.

I daydream a lot and most of the times I only realize it after one of the people around me wakes me up from my perfect dream land. I can never remember what happen in the dream, but if lucky it is all just a blur. Daydreaming is not the only thing that goes through my mind when I am not listening or paying attention to the surroundings.  I usually think about what worries me the most; maybe tests, family, or friends. I would also often think of the possibilities in my life. In these times the questions that kept running around in a circle in my head are what if and why not. I often think; what if I never came to Woodstock and what would have happen differently.  However every single time when I am about to get answers to my questions, someone has to interrupts me and end up bringing me back into the reality; the devotion.    

230 what do you do on rainy days?

It is now 10 am. The early birds are singing a wake up song. However, the song stopped and a sound of trashing rain overwhelmed small and high voices of the birds. I got up, not because the birds but the rains. The sound of rain falling of a metal roof struck me and caused me to change into a sitting position rather than lying down on my bed. I looked out of the window, with cool air blowing in constantly. About when a little smell of chlorine, just like the swimming pool, reached my nose; the soft rain turned into a storm. I sat up on my warm and comfortable bed thinking that another day has come and it is time to get out of bed. However, all that I did was falling back down, eyes wide open, and just listening to the rain hitting the metal roof.

By the time I got out of bed, it was already 11 am. It is still raining outside.  I quickly showered and got dressed. Rainy days at home is just so relaxing; having cool breeze blowing past my face every five seconds. However, as a result of that, I did not feel like doing anything at all. I just want to go back to bed. So I just sat down on the veranda outside the living room and left my mind blank. It was nice to have a clear mind and just not have a care in the world. I, then, realized my stomach growling. Right, I have not eaten anything since I got up. I went back into the house, looking into the refrigerator in hope of finding something to eat but there were no leftovers in there. I had to cook on the day that I am laziest. I gathered up some vegetables, rice, and an egg. Those ingredients then transformed into yummy fried rice. I went back out to the veranda, with a plate full of fried rice, and sat down at the exact same spot that I was 20 minutes ago. When I finally finished the rice, my mother yelled out for me to go do my homework, but I was feeling lazy. So just like my mother wanted, I went inside my room, opened up a word document on my laptop.

The last thing I remembered from that day was me walking towards my comfortable bed with a blank page of word document opened on my laptop.  This is all the rain’s fault, making me lazy.
