I know I talk a lot about school...and how much I procrastinate....but.....

Through my last few years at school I have developed the habit of leaving all of my work until the last minute. While I used to get most things done way before they were due, I now can't write an essay until it is the day before, and sometimes even the night before. I try and try but for some reason I can't seem to just start writing, no matter what it is.

I can't remember if this is simply been since I've moved to Montreal, or if I did this during my other undergrad as well. Either way I can't seem to stop. Tonight was no exeption.

I don't know why this always happens. First, I thought maybe it was because I didn't like my courses and just didn't really care. But I guess if I didn't care I would just write shitty essays and not stress about them. Sometimes I think it is because I do well on these papers, even if they are written the night before, and as a result I just want to see how little time I can use to write "good" papers. I wonder if it is because the only time I've done art history was for my electives during my last undergrad, and therefore have learned to just slack off. Another part of me thinks its because this degree is just a stepping stone to do something else. Even though I really enjoy it, it is not as fulfilling as my last degree...maybe.

Who fucking knows. And I'm sure you are all good students and don't even know what I'mma talkin bout, but for me it's relaly become a problem. I get stressed and unhappy, and let papers drag on for longer than they need to.

Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone else procrastinate until they get so stressed and not now way? How can I stop? It's not like I'm relaly busy...

"you got egg in your hair. you got spit in your chin."

Bitches stole my deoderant. Or maybe I just lost it.
Either way I'm gonna stink up my apartment for the rest of the weekend.

I guess I hardly wear it anyway.



Belle and Sebastian are playing in Montreal tonight. Tickets were sold out before I even bothered to look. Oh well. I probably shouldn't spend 40$ on a show anyway. It would have been awesome though.

Tonight, instead, I pretended to work on my paper while looking at pictures on the internet... looking through websites of galleries around the city.


Today I saw drawings by Massimo Guerrera, although the ones I saw where a lot more interesting than this one. I had to spend most of the afternoon at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for a paper that I'm writing about museum spaces. I hung out in the Arts and Crafts, Art Deco and Art Nouveau decorative arts room most of the time. It was great to see things done by William Morris and Joseh Hoffman, even if the museum didn't provide any information besides they're name and dates, which was kinda disappointing.

Alright. My eyes are starting to burn from looking at the computer for so long.

Spring Break 2006! Do you wanna Par TA?

WORD!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

Sarha and Krisyta both come tomorrow! And. I. Am. So. Excited.

Matt left today. And they come tomorrow. We got to drink beer every night and make dinner and tomorrow I'll get to drink wine all week and make dinner. And laugh and laugh and laugh.

Yup. That's right.

'member this?



I'm too giddy to write any of this. So GOODBYE!

I don't wanna work. I just wanna be a cat lady.

I dyed my hair too dark by accident. Or maybe subconsiously I wanted it to be dark again. In either case it's now black, well, most of it. Since I had tried to dye it darker a couple of times since I've moved here and it not changing the colour at all, I hoped that this dye would finally work. But now it's black. I bought black tapered jeans today to go along with it.

In other (boring) news I've been spending a lot of time showing off Scout's amazing tricks to Graeme as a distraction from doing work. She seems to hate him so I feel the need to show him how awesome she is all the time, although I suspect that if Graeme would just give her a lil space she wouldn't hiss at him so much. We've started to measure how high she can jump. She jumps as high as my shoulder on a good day. I've just recently noticed how scary her toy is...




It's a catgurrrl! Maybe Scout is a lesbain and that is why she loves it (and hates Graeme) so much.

NEways! Wanna help me with my paper that I have to write tonight? I'll be eating pizza, drinking beer, and watching the OC hoping that something interesting will happen, like a death or something. When I get back to the computer I hope someone will be here to keep me company and distract me from my work, again. Scout is too tired to do jumps for me anymore.

Bye biatches. booyea!

To do list #357

"Pick me up and turn me round..."

It's been a pretty bad week...but after all that it's been such a relief to have a relaxing weekend. Yesterday Graeme, Mike, and I went exploring around Pie IX. We snooped around the abandoned Olympic stadium, went to Village des Valeurs, and walked down Ontario Promenade, which is a street of discount stores including a Dollarama AND a Dollaroma. We've made french toast, pancakes, and falafel. I learned how to play Euchre and Crib. Tonight there is a Superbowl party with people that never watch football. Lots of food and President's Choice beer. And razzle dazzle.

After this week it is nice to know that Matt is arriving on Friday, and Sarah and Krista will be here soon too! WOOT!

Thanks to everyone that called and made me feel better, even if it was just a message... I have nice friends.
