Okay, here I am supposed to be writing my paper on the photoelectric effect, and what am I doing? Procrastinating!! Last night, I will a little down, so obviously, no school work got done. I did see a pretty cool action flick, IRobot. It was fun, my favorite parts were when Will Smith was shirtless. Oh, and the special effects were pretty cool too, I guess.
So, after my homeworkless night, I wake up this morning with every intention of getting my paper done. I make it up to the library before ten o-clock where I promptly check my email and facebook and lookup cheesecake recipes. The cheesecake is for a friend, and I am confused because I don't even like cheesecake, yet I know that I will eventually bake one. After spending about thirty minutes on the internet, I leave the library and head over to browse the bookstore. I try on shoes, do everything within my power to not buy a pink BYU blanket or sweatshirt, and ultimately end up buying BYU chapstick. That made me feel better especially after I noticed that it said, "Feel the Love." What love, do you ask? Well evidently not the love of BYU because on top of that paper and that math take-home test due Monday, I have three homework assignments due Tuesday. But, I can't rest because I have a Philosophy paper due the Monday after Thanksgiving as well as extra credit for Physics. Where did my Thanksgiving break go? Well, it went to my friend Mary, who started her vacation the Friday before Thanksgiving.
Okay, back to my original procrastination. After buying my chapstick, I go up to the computer store and look for a pink flash drive. It does not matter that I already have a perfectly good flash drive, it is just that a pink one would be nice. Unfortunately, they were all out of pink (well I am assuming, because who would not want a pink flash drive?). It is then that I notice the pink iPod covers. Again, it does not matter that I already have a pink iPod cover, mine was just a little dirty is all. So I buy it and put it on, and boy I am happy so now, I am going to work on my paper!! I got as far as the bowling alley in the Wilk. I have not picked up a bowling ball in a while so I buy three games and bowl with all the middle aged men. My scores were not too bad, 122-132, considering I have not bowled in months. That was fun to throw 10-lb balls around and it was a stress relief.
So, now you are thinking that after that, that I am now ready to work on my paper. Well, that is what I thought too, and we would both be wrong. I tried to do my test, but then the football game was on, and the open-access lab was too close to the table where I was sitting. So, the moral of the story is, stop at the chapstick and do your work. It needs to get done however boring it may be. Suffer now through school where you can enjoy the rest of your life. Also, don't ever get on the internet when you know that there are temptations. Facebook, why are you there when your only purpose is to aid in procrastinating? As much as I hate Facebook, my account will still be there tomorrow, updated as usual.

(From Carly's Mom)
Carly, Carly, Carly -- where have you acquired such procrasti-nation techniques? When I sent you off to the dating factory on the other side of the Rockies, you were the only person I knew who would get a project or paper done DAYS before it was due. This special character trait used to always make me wonder if perhaps I brought home the wrong baby from the hospital, but nonetheless, I know you still have it in you. Keep smiling. I love you, Mom
