Procrastination

The Boring One currently has a house to clean, two papers to write, chemistry homework to finish, and multiple chapters to read in her history books. However, she chooses to procrastinate and write this blog post that few people will read, and even fewer will benefit from.

Why, one might ask, does the Boring One choose to write this when she has two whole papers to write? One must understand that the Boring One loves to write - things that she chooses. (Although, often she learns to enjoy writing on assigned subjects as well.) However, the first paper, due two days from now, troubles her as she must write about Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal", which she simply does not enjoy. She realizes its satirical nature, of course, but simply feels sick upon reading about children being sold as food. The second paper interests her a little more, as she must write about the trial of Anne Hutchinson. However, that paper requires more research, something she has not yet learned to enjoy. (Why look through hundreds of articles and books to find three to five sentences to quote?)

The Boring One enjoys the snow immensely. She has heard rumors of a possible twelve more inches on Monday, and although she doubts it will come, she can hope!

Tonight, the Boring One plans to attend a gospel meeting. She looks forward to spending time worshiping with other Christians and learning more about worship.

Now, the Boring One must attend to the other tasks that call her. Adieu, my friends!

I guess it must be those snow days getting to you. They disrupt the rhythm and flow of adrenalin, sending a peace that is hard to let go of. Sounds like you are going to be having to spend a caffeine rich overnight to catch up. But it is worth it, right?

How did the papers turn out?

I don't know if they did or not. I turned one in on Monday and one in today. I was happy with both, but we'll see what the professors think. :-)
