It is again another Wednesday, and I am sitting in Starbucks getting my work done. Okay, I am trying to get work done. My thoughts are all over the damn place. I have started at least two other articles and have only made minimal progress. If there is one thing that is consistent, it is my inconsistency when it comes to getting anything productive done. I have yet to submit my journal for my Introduction to Literature Class and my homework for my Discrete Mathematics Course. I know my Intro to Literature professor has sent me an email regarding my journal assignment that was due this past Sunday. However, I have yet actually to read it. I can only imagine what my grades in my current courses would be if I did every assignment and submitted them in on time. Oh, and I also have to be at work at 3 pm, and it is now almost 2 pm.
Having an additional week to submit my assignments in a timely matter for a ten percent reduction in grade has been a blessing as well as a curse. It is nice to have some extra time to submit work if for whatever reason you are unable to send the assignments on time, it has become a crutch of some sort for me. I rely way too much on this extension. My psychologist has said that the thing that frustrates her the most about me is how I am okay with submitting assignments in late as often as I do and accepting the grade deduction. She is right. I do not doubt that my grade point average would be above when it is currently (which is a 2.75 as of the last term). "Be tough on yourself." is something she will say to me every time I see her. I swear I am listening to what she says to me. It is the following through part that is where it becomes challenging.
I cannot count how many times I have a great idea to get something accomplished with my schoolwork or my credit cards bills, only to fail miserably. Imaging something is more comfortable than actually doing it. I have times where I think that I want to have my Bachelor's degree right now. I just want to skip the next four terms and have that degree in my hands. Obviously, that is not how college degree programs work. On the other hand, while I am in school, I do not have to worry about how I am going to pay off my student loans, yet. I sometimes think that I may want to continue my education after I obtain my Bachelor's degree.
Well, I am about to make the finishing touches on this random article and submit it for editing. Our team has a listicle challenge for October where participants are to write one to three listicles every week. I wanted to take part in this challenge, but I just cannot think of a listicle that I can work from start to finish. I need the right inspiration, and right now it is just not there. Hopefully, my next article will be about something other than my horrible attention span and difficulty in submitting assignments on time. We shall see soon enough.
