The Dangers of Procrastination

Its its 8 in the morning and aside from the 1.5 hour nap I took I have been up all night because I am a moron. Once again I let procrastination and zero motivation kick my ass. Instead of just freakin' buckling down and pounding out my exam, I slacked and procrastinated. And because I of this sucky behavior, I spent the night working on this stupid exam instead of sleeping. Why, oh why, do I make these stupid self-destructive decisions. Do I secretly hate myself or have some dormant desire to not succeed?

Grey's Anatomy wisdom to go with my lack thereof:
"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying."

Sigh, back to working. On another note I found a new favorite song its "Waiting on my Real Life to Begin" by Colin Hay and it is absolutely beautiful. Only 99 cents on iTunes.
