Procrastination

Today was suppose to be my day of buckling down and at least getting a couple of pages done on one paper… well today was a day of being on the internet getting a lot of emails and deciding what exactly to write about. Not that I didn't do that before; but now I think I have got it pegged down to a good thesis. And well ya this is my excuse for writing one paragraph, and still being the ultimate procrastinator. As of today I have 9 days till my paper is due, and for a procrastinator such as me it is amazing that I actually have gotten a thesis written. I always have good intentions of starting early and getting it done way ahead of schedule, so I can have a nice leisurely time of editing, I know I need to do a lot of editing. HAHA!!! But alas, I will do what I always so and that is wait till the last moment to start. I will be in a panic, that I will not get done and complain that there is no time to get it done, even though I have had enough time to write this paper 8 times over. So, I will be the procrastinator that I am and hopefully I will be done in plenty of time that I will not dream about the fact that I am not going to get it done. Someday I truly hope that this procrastination thing will get out of my system, so that I can be a regular person who sees a project and can get it done. Maybe I will become a person whose brain can actually function before then few left preceding days before the due date. Wish me luck on that!!! But, all of this when it is all said and done, will end up in me being in amazing places doing, amazing things so having a due date just tells me how close I am actually getting to my trip and my goals of more travel.

52 Days and Counting!!!

So, last November I was accepted for a Study Abroad semester, called Pac Rim. Since then I have been trying not to get too excited and get my homework done, though some days while I was suppose to be studying I spent all day thinking about my upcoming semester. Now that I am 52 days away this homework stuff is getting harder to concentrate on. I have a paper due on Thursday and then 2 more papers a timeline and some Japanese language stuff to learn, before I leave. Oh, I guess I should tell you where I am going... China, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, and Hawaii. YES!!! all those places in 3 months. I am so excited that I can't handle it any more. School work will get done and I will have an amazing semester. I get to go climb the Great Wall of China, see the Forbidden City, the Terracotta warriors, bungee jump, climb Mount Fuji, see where Lord or the Rings was filmed, Black water raft, surf, see the Great Barrier Reef, I am considering or more likely am going to skydive and so much more. This is going to be a semester of learning through actions not books. I will experience history. I will see what the Monglie army looked at when invading China; Gaze upon the worriers that are to protect China, see where the Massacre of Tiananmen square took place, that will be a sad day. I will see what I never would have thought imaginable 2 years ago. Now 52 days away and I am not wanting to work, or do school work ,just get ready for the trip of a lifetime. I know that if I didn't have something to do right now, than I would probably be driving everyone around me nuts and not wanting me around. So yes, even if I don't want to do what I have to do, I suppose there is a reason for it. So if you want to hear more about my travels you are more than welcome to keep on reading. I am a terrible Blogger but I will do my best to keep it updated so you all will share in my experiences, and find out where you will want to go next.
