The final project for one of my summer courses is due this week. Today, I need to put the pedal to the metal and turn the notes, ideas, and pieces of data I've been collecting into something a lot more organized.
What do I do instead? Decide that today is the perfect day to throw out old bags and scrub down the tea kettle.
Back when I was an undergraduate, inevitable my dorm room would be the cleanest right around finals, because when it came to crunch time, cleaning looked a lot better than studying.
All these years later, I'm still using the same techniques to avoid getting my schoolwork done. Some things don't change. Although these days, I can now add to my work avoidance by not only avoiding the work, but also blogging about the fact that I should be doing schoolwork but I'm not.
With that said, now I really am going to go get something done. I promise. Just as soon as I finish brewing the pot of tea made in the newly-cleaned kettle.
