A Terrible Habit

School has been so much work lately and I make it so much harder for myself. All year I have been telling myself that when I get an assignment I have to start it early and finish it early as well. Honestly, I probably finished about 3 assignments earlier than the day before they were due, and this includes my first english paper, a speech and a dny paper. Everything else usually waits to the night before which is a terrible habit that I desperately need to get out of. It's not that I don't do good waiting for the last minute, because I do. I actually feel as if I do better under pressure knowing that something has to be done. If I do something early I get easily distracted or I'll stop and go back to it later, but when I'm doing something the last minute I concentrate really well because I know it has to get done, and it has to get done that day.
It's not that I only do this with homework, but I do it with tests as well. That is something that I have to stop doing ASAP. Ever since I was young my parents always yelled at me about this and told me that it's a really bad habit and to get out of it, but it's really hard.
School isn't the only place which I procrastinate doing things in. At home my parents yell at me to clean my room and that is one thing that I really despise doing, so I wait until I can't tolerate the mess anymore and then I'll clean it. I do this with laundry as well. I'll wait until someone needs to wear something thats in the dirty clothes to wash it because I know that they are going to need it.
I know it's something really bad that I have to stop doing. Hopefully I'll start and the work load that I have won't seem like so much because it will space things out a little bit.

Life isn't always easy

College isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. It's actually very hard for me to keep up with alot of the work. I have paper's upon papers due, and tests upon that and now I'm trying to do an extra credit assignment for one of the classes that I'm not doing so well in and it's very difficult. I feel like I have so much to do and I don't have time to do it which is probably my own fault.
This blame shouldn't be put on anyone but myself and it is my own fault if I'm not doing well in any of my classes. Life feels as if it's getting so complicated. I have so much more responsibility then I ever have before and school is just so different from high school. You don't have your teachers constantly reminding you when somethings due and your parents aren't on top of you as much with your homework as well either.
It's a scary thought but I'm becoming a grown up and before I know it these next few years are going to fly by and I'm going to have graduated and am going to get a job and going into the real world. Life really moves too fast and time is precious so appreciate everything.

Ninja Bandit

The ninja bandit is a scary thought of those who live on Staten Island. He is supposedly dressed in all black with a matching ski mask and carries around a set of nunchucks. He has already broken into 16 homes within the time of 4 months. He has managed to slip into the homes by skylights, windows and front doors, making off with cash, jewelry and a cell phone, police said. On five occasions, the burglar was confronted by homeowners, but managed to escape the scene. The incidents have occurred in the Todt Hill, Grymes Hill and Grasmere sections of Staten Island between the hours of 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. He is described as a 6 foot man of medium build, though no-one has seen his face the police are eager to find him. One man whose home was broken into actually stabbed him with a steak knife in the kitchen, but the ninja bandit didn't even make a sound when he got stabbed and left the home with the steak knife sticking out of his chest. Hopefully they will catch this man soon because he is worrying many people.

Memories

Memoirs are something that are very dear to you. You can write down something that you've been through whether it's good or bad and you can look back on it. It is memories which you write down and years later if you want to look back on the old times then you just read what you had written. They are a good way of remembering your childhood and good memories.
I actaully used to have an online journal for a while and I wrote down my thoughts and feelings and what I had done each day, especially the fun things. Every now and then I'll look back on it and it will bring a smile to my face.
