Procrastination

I'm going to take the focus of this learning log away from solely being about what's happening in the LA Comp class, to more of school as a whole presently in my life. Being so close to graduation, the excitement is getting to me a little too much and school is slipping away. I have been getting distracted by other things, and putting too much time and energy into everything but my schoolwork. Thinking about how soon this will all be over, and yet not having any idea about how my next years are going to play out was helping me put off assignments for weeks in some cases.

In the midst of all this, I am learning that putting things off, such as my schoolwork, does not in fact give you more time for other things. It does in fact make your future schedule busier than it needs to be, and create tension and stress for not only me, but my teachers as well!

With that being said, as a graduating student, with the time I have left I will be working on staying on top of things, and set back the level of my procrastination on things including: my poetry assignments, PCRs, Learning Logs, and reading the assigned books.

Thanks for baring with me on a project-less post!

  1. This is a valuable realization, Owen. The next step is creating plans about how to recover from a bout of procrastination and how to avoid one in the future. Any thoughts?

    Graduation is bittersweet for me. It's a celebration of your success, but it also means that you're leaving.

    Kelly, if you're reading this, congrats on your own graduation.
