If there were to be an award for the best procrastinator I think I would take the cake hands down. Since starting back study, I have been reunited with my procrastinating ways. It has been over 5 years since I first went to Uni and discovered the many forms of procrastination from study, and I can honestly say that at this very moment, I am in my prime.
I am currently supposed to be writing an assignment. The topic being Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids: the case for and against the supplementation of infant formula. As riveting as this topic could potentially be...I am at the books for literally no longer than 10 minutes before I find a new activity to consume my thoughts.
I find myself doing anything just to get out of writing an assignment. As I sat down at my desk this morning I envisaged a full day of study and a completed assignment at the end. However prior to even opening a book I made sure I had got a coffee, done the washing, cleaned my room, ran a loooong way, checked Facebook, read other peoples blogs, watched the Sunday Footy Show, checked Facebook again, made lunch, made a second lunch, went and got another coffee, looked at the weekend's race results from across the globe, looked at the week's weather, looked at the radar and searched the Internet for pointless facts such as 'where is the closest library?' (as I somehow believe that if I were to sit in a library then I would be more productive).
It is an extremely annoying trait that I possess and I do believe that if this procrastination gene were to be absent in my DNA then I would be straight A student on the way to becoming the next Nobel prize winner. However, due to reasons beyond my control I am unable to focus on study thoughts for extended periods of time and as such I find myself sitting here writing a blog, thinking about getting the washing off the line and planning a full day of study for tomorrow!
