procrastinate-(verb) To keep delaying something that must be done, often because it is unpleasant or boring...


Today has been a great day. You see, I have an exam on Wednesday that I'm supposed to be studying for.

My place has never been cleaner.

No joke. *sigh* This always happens. I'm supposed to be studying and I end up finding about a million other things to do. Did some laundry...baked cookies for myself and my friends down the hall...dusted, vacuumed, mopped...

Cracked the book? Nu-uh.

*sigh*

Back to non-studying. Good thing I've naturally got some brain cells, otherwise I'd be in a real bind...LOL

Things are great here except for the traffic!!! Come on down, you're the next contestant on "Where the hell did these people learn to drive" ;)
 
Down in the great Metro of Hotlanta you have to drive like a maniac to survive, especially on 285
 
Heh I know I'm late on this one but I'm supposed to be studying too. No test in the near future but there's an assload of terms I just can't remember and I know they're going to be on the test whenever it comes but have I studied one bit? Hell no. Guess maybe I should log off and crack the notes huh?
 
I'm supposed to be in bed but I got shoved out. Damned bed hog. I'll go back..later. Maybe.
