Thoughts From the Procrastinator

I just got done eating my nutritious lunch, thinking about everything I have to do today. This is suppose to be my mid-winter break, a day where I can sit on my couch, do absolutely nothing, and not have to worry about anything in my life. All I can think about is the english paper that is due tomorrow that I haven't started yet. Not only that, but I have a massive history test and quiz, a couple new science assignments and test, and a spanish test that I have to make up from my trip. In addition, I have to practice my guitar(which is one probably the the most fun I'll have all day).And I have to practice my flute because I have my lesson tomorrow and a band concert on Wednesday, where we will be playing 3 pieces. One of the pieces I just got this past week because I was on my trip when the rest of the band got it, so now I have to play it perfectly by wednesday and it's not the easiest march I've played. Also, I wanted to finish my application for Maranatha and get that turned in soon, along with my application for the Chicago missions trip this summer with the youth group. Wow, is that a long list! So, why have a chosen now to write my post? I'll admit it, I can be a procrastinator. I know this may come as a shock to you, but my life does not ALWAYS revolve around school. True, I do get a little(okay, very) carried away when it comes to my grades, but sometimes I just wish I had a break! My life is so(as my oh-so-wise mother would say)"go, go, go; do, do, do". But ya know, I'm not changing anything about it. Luckily, I'm one of those people that work really well under pressure. I get stressed when those times come, but I still manage to pull it off! Funny how my brain works. I absolutely love my english class and the subject all together, but since I'm in an advanced class, we have the "privilege" to get paper topics every three weeks. I put off starting my paper until a couple days before it's due, but manage to produce papers that receive good marks(like a 1 with two zeros after it). So, as much as I wish I could stay on this computer longer, I probably should go start my paper with the prompt that asks,"Should 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' be banned from public schools?". I have to write atleast 6 paragraphs(ya right, I'll probably end up writing more than that) about why it should/shouldn't be banned because of the language and racist views of the southern people during that time period. If anyone has any ideas, I would MUCH appreciate your opinions!! Don't misunderstand me, I'm not one of those lazy, "I hate school" type of students. I really do love school for the most part and I work my butt off to get the grades that I do, but I just wish my mid-winter break would be just that, a break!
