A photo journey of homework.

So I didn't really realize until recently but apparently when I'm doing homework, I make a variety of faces. You can pretty much tell the homework type and intensity by the face I'm making. I'm sure we all have our faces for homework but here's a guide to mine.

This will be my basic homework face. When the assignment is just something quick and easy but I still have to do something. 

This is my reading something long and not that interesting face. It is being utilized a lot this semester.  

This position is reserved for reading something long and intensive online.  The recline makes for more comfort for approximately five minutes before my butt just goes numb.  

For that paper I have to write based on reading an article I don't care about. I only need one eye to read anyway. My head's always too heavy to be held by just my neck during these situations. 

My "it's been a long night, why aren't I getting anything done" face. At this point it's the middle of the night and thus really cold. I have to hide my face from the homework as well. 

This is what happens when I've been at homework for at least an hour. I start touching anything and everything around my desk. 

I'm incapable of focusing on my homework. My phone is a very nice distraction. 

There always comes the point when I start to drift off to other places in my head. This realm is vast and contains many many distractions. This phase will last me a long time. The later it is, the longer it lasts. 

It never fails, that the longer I'm doing homework the more homework I remember I need to do. Always. Happens.  

Light will always be found at the end of the night. The end of toiling gets rewarded. With juice and a cookie. Heck yes to college funds to buy more cookies for homework time. 

I love my classes, yet it never fails, homework creates a feeling of dread and discontent. I have had a few assignments I have generally enjoyed though. Everything from my heavy metal class was just amazing. I hate homework though. There's one universal face that goes with every type of assignment.

Install updates?

So my phone every so often tells me it has an automatic update that it wants to install and of course asking my permission. I, of course, allow it since updates are free and probably do nothing harmful at the least, and may actually improve something that I don't know doesn't really work correctly. Well this morning when I woke up, my phone was telling me about updates available so as always I allowed it. As I was with a friend, I wandered off for some socializing and forgot completely about the fact my phone was updating.

I returned for my phone some time later, after it had finished and restarted itself, because my friend wanted to see it. I didn't look at it, just picked it up and handed it to him. I wasn't paying much attention for a bit, then I realized the direction my friend was holding my phone and scrolling. (I realized I should mention, I have a droid phone that has a touch screen and QWERTY keyboard that slides out from the side. My phone's screen switches from upright to displaying on it's left side when you turn it or open the keyboard.) My friend was holding the phone to the right. It was upright. The screen had followed the orientation. I stared at it for like 5 minutes before just grabbing my phone and spinning it in all directions watching it follow except for upside down. I couldn't believe it! I then remembered the update.

My curiosity up and running, I went to my home screen to see what else had changed. Most obvious was that at the bottom there were two buttons added under the apps on my screen. There originally had been one for going to the app screen. There was now a browser and call option one. I then noticed my google search bar looked different. I went to go see if the other main pages were different, and held the screen a bit too long when sliding and then five icons popped up, each showing a different home screen! I was in total shock! I couldn't believe how many changes this update had done.

I went to get back into my messages but hit the contacts button by mistake. Another shock! The main colour scheme used to be white. It was now black. Mind was blown. I backed up and went to the messages. Another double take after seeing that the main colour scheme that was black was now completely white! Whoa! Too much change to handle. I go into one of my message threads only to be attacked with more! The message threads had been transformed into something similar to my facebook chats. Each message had the picture of the sender beside the text!

I got a text at this point. There's a little light on the side of the phone that goes off when I get calls or messages. Instead of being blue it was green. Seriously? They even changed the colour of my notifications? Wow.

So far that's all I've found that's new. Considering the usual updates, thats a heck of a lot.

Oh just found one more. Apparently my phone is now also green. I was charging it and when it finished charging on the screen it said "phone is charged, unplug to save energy" I'm almost shocked it didn't say 'B!*ch' after that.

I'm curious as to what else was changed but worried that something I use a lot will be different and I'll find out at a bad time. Who knows. These updates are "getting curiouser and curiouser"

My procrastination skills are better than my study skills.

So right now, I have three exams to study for, two packets to read, a paper to write and some other homework to do. I've been at this all weekend. So far I've;

1. almost finished the other homework,
2. put a heading on the paper, 
3. located where the two packets are, 
4. made some flash cards, that I did memorize...in church.... for one of the tests,

12. made work plans for next summer,
13. reconnected with old friends, 
14. gone to a hockey game, 
15. gone to work,

29. gone to walmart, and
30. bought a thundercats shirt, 

All that work in the last 60 hours I've had free to get this stuff done. Yeah I desperately need to work on my priorities. I just really have no sense of study skills. Not until panic mode. I try to get stuff done, it just doesn't happen. In fact I'm writing this blog now instead of working like I should be. I'm not sure why I don't just do my work. Even if I'm not on the computer I still just don't buckle down.

I'm extremely sure it's nothing like ADD or ADHD, because it only happens when I need to do homework. My mind just rebels against having to process things like school work. Though I can't even pay attention while writing this blog, I just started playing a game of Flash Flash Revolution (its like Dance Dance Revolution but on the internet and for your fingers, quite fun but I suck at it) because I changed positions and wondered if this position was any easier to play with out my hand cramping. So far it's proving to not be any easier, oh well. It's just getting later and later and I've barely done anything that I need to do. The more I think about what needs to be done, the more I remember that I have to do. It's like a never ending cycle that I can't break free of. It's like an epidemic infecting all areas of my life. It's like really tiring cause I just want to sleep. Oh well, let's go do some non-work so I can get some work done.
