We (or umm I) never DO the To-Do lists!

Good morning everyone. I am freaking out so much! Not the first thought you wanna get early on in the morning but I can't help it. I am TRYING to be positive and thinking I will get everything done - but I know it's outta hand to complete nuts amount of work (that I should have started earlier, duh).. but you know, we're university students? :$ (I am hoping this explanation will serve as a lame excuse to my procrastination).
Anywhooooo.. TWO major goals for today. I have a really weird thing. I never do well when I have two different exams in a day. Apparently, my attention span is a.. actually is NOT a whore. It focuses on only one thing! Basically saying.. that I gotta get one thing done before I start another. I cannot mix and match, not much of a multi-tasker in studies.

Goal One: 50% essay due tomorrow morning.
I chose from a bunch of topics listed on the course outline. I sort of have an idea of how I am planning to formulate the essay in terms of the format. I am doing a compare and contrast of Differential Association Theory and Social Control Theory with a focus on juvenile delinquency. Interesting? Yes, a little. It's supposed to be 10-12 pages. I am hoping to finish by 7 pm. That is my TARGET. I hate setting deadlines, precisely because I never meet them :) lol

Goal Two: 20% Final Term Test tomorrow morning.
Yeuppp. Not only the goddamn essay but a test.  Not to mention.. the test is all essay answers (2.5 pages in length each). I have 10 questions to work from. I gotta answer them to formulate my essays for tomorrow. I got to Humber around 7:00 this morning. I just took a break to run to Timmies to grab a bagel and Iced Coffee. Oh.. that reminds me.. I am a fan of the latte with an espresso shot! Nish says it tastes like coffee from India. The Mocha wasn't too bad. Oh right.. back to studies? Fuck you attention span.

I am timing myself! I am done 4 out of 10 questions so far (early morning studying ACTUALLY helps!) And I am planning to finish all my test preparation by noon MAXIMUM!
Then, I plan on taking a lunch break for half an hour and get on to essay writing 12:30 pm till 7:00 pm. And that's my target. Usually, things never go the way I plan lol. But for some reason, the caffeine is kicking in and it's telling me I CAN DO IT (YAAYYY!)

And so can you.. so get your asses to study as much as you can. Set a goal for today. Accomplish it. Smile and give yourself a pat on the back. I mean really.. let's just all dump procrastination today?  Mmkaay? Thank you!

Follow up: I wrote this blog at 9:30 am. My target for Goal #2 (test preparation - attempting to answer all 10 questions) was set for noon. And I am done at 10:56 am :D YAY to coffee! Now, I have an extra hour to go crazy researching for my essay stuff.

    Oh don't fear, I am probably the worst.

    And apparently, it gets like this only when I have something due.
