Diary of a Procrastinator


It's getting down to crunchtime folks, and I've still got much to do. My two main concerns: My media law project and secured transactions. With the project, which is probably about 20% complete at best, I'm beginning to freak out. For whatever reason, I'm having some sort of writers block. I thought hammering something out on here might help. We'll see...

Secured is a whole other area. I should have taken this class 3 semesters ago. Back then my study habits were better and I was far better equipped for this nonsense. If you don't know what a secured transaction is, allow me to explain: you're lucky!!! Let's just leave it at that.

Anyway, I've read books that suggest some of the reasons why I might procrastinate. Most of it makes sense. But you know what? Here I am...no further along.

The good thing is though, I've gotten all sorts of less important tasks done. For example, the dishwasher is running right now, I gave blood today, and I started reading Zen in the Art of Archery. Good stuff.

You know what? I think this has helped!

Back to work...

Forgive Me

I was doing so much better, averaging several posts a week. But lately I just haven't had it in me. Graduation is 5 weeks from tomorrow...which is awesome and hard to believe at the same time. There's much to talk about and I'm going to try to get back on track with the postings and whatnot.

This site will of course begin to shift its focus over the upcoming summer. I'll be a law school graduate studying for the bar, 5 blocks from the edge of Western Civilization. My evenings will be consumed with my wonderful bar/bri review course, and my days will be a mixture of study and job hunting. Somewhere in there I'd like to do some surfing as well. Maybe I could get into a routine of starting my day that way. That always sounded fun and I think it would help me become more "functional" in the mornings.

Anyway, I'm glad to have you back reading this and I look forward to more posts in the upcoming weeks.

P.S. A belated happy birthday to thememowriter, which just celebrated its first birthday. Yet another sign that time is flying by...

Goodnight Cinderella

It was not to be.

I was really pulling for George Mason tonight. I love a good David and Goliath story. George Mason was a special story, because they were 4-0 against Goliath going into the game tonight. But a new David was ready and waiting...and this time he was even taller than usual.

They hung in there for a while...just minutes before the half they were down just one point. But Florida's insane barrage of 3 pointers and rebounding was just too much to overcome.

So when you think of amazing sports accomplishments, don't forget about George Mason. They should always remain a stunning reminder that seemingly impossible dreams can be achieved when you give everything you have.

Goodnight Cinderella. Goodnight.
