Warning: Attention All Workers
The following is true, no matter who you are, where you go, or what work you have to do:
If you have a TON of work due in the next 24 hours, your shitty, crappy nasty bed whose sheets you haven't washed in a month will magically transform into a Master Suite bed from the Marriott!
What ever you do, do NOT lay down, even for a minute.
It's the "minutes" that get you.

Shameless
Hi all,
This is a shameless plug for my school, but I can't help but be proud of all of the AMAZING things that go on here at Emerson College.
We have the LARGEST student-run award show here at Emerson called the EVVY Awards, and this year we put together an 8 minute Lady GaGa Lip Dub to advertise not just the EVVY Awards, but also Emerson as a whole. In the video, you get a glimpse at some of the groups and activities that we have going on here at Emerson, and you also get a sense of how close, collaborative and welcoming that we all are here at Emerson.
Not to mention productive! This whole video was shot in a SINGLE DAY!
So go watch it!

(sorry about all of the capital letters, I just really love this school).
Thanks for reading!

April Fools?
Hey All,
So apparently Mother Nature has decided to play a fun little joke on all of us here in the New England region. It's April 1st, and Boston is covered in a beautifully wet and slushy layer of snow. And it was so nice last Friday, over 60 degrees!! Thanks. We get it, don't get too complacent in the certainty that winter HAS to end by the time Spring comes around.
So there's that wonderfully distracting twist of weather affecting all of my work, but there's also...
Did you know that one of the most distracting places to try and get anything done is your room? I didn't until I tried doing my homework in the library and OMG I got so much accomplished!! In just two hours at a little study desk in the library, I got a whole weekend's worth of homework done, and I only checked Facebook and my email twice! I know that this is supposed to be describing all the ways I'm NOT getting my work done, but I found this discovery of studying in another location fascinating, I needed to tell the world (the incredibly small world of people that actually read this blog).
Back to distractions:
I started reading a new graphic novel series early in December, called Kobato (by CLAMP) and it's absolutely adorable, and I was really sad to find out that there's only 3 volumes out so far in America (only 5 in Japan). Then I googled the series and found out that it's a television show, as well...a COMPLETED ONE.
Needless to say, I spent the last two weeks avoiding my homework to watch the show. Absolutely adorable, and I now own the DVDs. I won't be getting much work done anytime soon -I must rewatch them all! lol
Another distraction:
Some of my younger friends are in the period of their lives where they must decide on a future (aka respond to college acceptances) and a few certain people are (in my opinion) choosing a very "difficult" path for themselves, and are choosing to ignore my well-intentioned advice. Whatever. Go ruin your lives, why should I have to baby them?
More!
Sometimes people can be really REALLY dumb. And repetitive. People have patterns and habits in their daily behaviors, so they can also be very predictable. I've recently discovered this first-hand, and while I like to think of myself as an intelligent individual, maybe I'm not, because I simply cannot fathom why someone can keep repeating the same actions over and over again, expecting a different result, yet secretly knowing that they're just going to get hurt again. Whatever, I mean, it's not my life, and I guess I can't really force other people to do what I think is right.
Well that's it for now,
Thanks for reading,

Spring Distractions (way late, sorry, forgot to press "publish")
Hello All,
So for those of you who don't know, I'm Christian -I try not to let my religion slip into my writing, but it did give me a pretty damn good moral system, so I have to give credit where credit is due. Thank you, God. Because of this little detail, I have to give up something for Lent, the 40 days before Easter.
Now, I forgot that it was Lent until, like, yesterday, so kinda decided what I'm giving up a little later than I should have, but hey, better late than never, right? So I decided to give up "procrastination" for Lent, which isn't good for this blog, because that's WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! But I think for this Spring, I'll tell you guys what's making it SOOO DIFFICULT for me to not procrastinate.
StumbleUpon.com and Facebook are always temptations, especially because I'm just so used to opening my computer, clicking the Internet, and typing in "fa"-which directs me right to Facebook! Grr!
Also, I'm right in the middle of watching a TV show on DVD, and I REALLY want to watch an episode or five while I'm at work (it's not like I'm a doctor or anything, this isn't hurting anyone), or in between classes! Or just the bubblepop game on my dashboard (for the computer) is a REALLY great way to waste about four hours.
That's it for now,
