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.

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,
5. acknowledged to myself that I have the other two tests to take, 
6. gotten the books out and have them beside me
7. finished reading a manga series online, 
8. read the new additions to many a web comic, 
9. watch many youtube videos, 
10. written one plus blogs,
11. read some blogs,
12. made work plans for next summer,
13. reconnected with old friends, 
14. gone to a hockey game, 
15. gone to work, 
16. slept a lot, 
17. eaten some food, 
18. stared at some wall, 
19. played with a blanket, 
20. downloaded apps to my phone, 
21. updated a lot of my phone, 
22. bought some songs on itunes, 
23. done my laundry,
24. stared at my desk, 
25. watched some movies, 
26. played and watched COD Black Ops, 
27. hung out in the basement, 
28. watched a game of pool,
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.

Friday Nights

So I found myself alone this Friday night (not that unusual). My normal crew is probably drinking tonight and my roommate is always gone until Sunday. Homework's done and I don't feel like working ahead. My sleeps not behind tonight so, I started to play with my hair. Something I never do. It's just not something that interests me. I figured worst to worst it would give me something to blog about. So I took some pictures with my crappy webcam for you guys, turned up my Owl City playlist and risked loosing my hands in the curly mess.

So I started out with my hair like this.

I wandered through my hair things box to find out I still own my kitty ears!! Playing ensured for a while before continuation of my hair project.

hehe I just love the kitty ears!

This was two hair clips, to create two separate messes of curls.

Two buns on my head with more hair just down.

 From the top.

Two buns turned to 4. Now the back of my heads like a 4 leaf clover!

It's hard to see, but it is there. Now, I found this next thing in my hair stuff box.

WHAT IS THIS?? Does anyone know?? I don't even know what it is, let alone how to use it... Moving on..

This is an elegant look. More angles down below.

The nature curls are helpful when going for elegance.

That becomes more evident from the back. Now the best part about this? I only used bobby pins. How many? Well I don't know how many went in, but I've pulled out 18. More could have been eaten by my hair. I'm not sure. We will never know.

The ribbons show more how its elegant.

The butt in the background is my roommate. She came in while I was doing this and started dying her hair with two other girls. I think she shows up in another picture.

Yup there she is.

Two hair sticks to make two buns! They were kinda tight, and hurt.

One hair stick, half my hair. Not too shabby. And thus we come to my favorite one;

PANDA!! Isn't he adorable? I adopted him from the Columbus Zoo this past summer.  He's been protecting me while I sleep ever since. I get to hug his soft furry body, and he keeps people from intruding coming near me. It's a good deal.

I guess in retrospect I didn't really do that much with my hair. I got bored actually during the bobby pins. The last few I threw together in a couple seconds for bulk. I'm just not a hair person. I hope you get more enjoyment out of it than I did in the end.

I need a haircut...

I want to write a blog.

So I haven't written a blog in a long time, and I really want to write one, but I have no idea what to write about. Not much has happened to me recently, worth noting in here and even though it's the afternoon, I can remember any funny stories from my past to tell you or something. because I'm too tired and just waiting for class. So I think instead I will write an observation I have made about my writing.

I notice that when I type on chat or anything really, I always space too soon. I cut words off at the end of them and add the last letter onto the next word, usually causing bad words or just completely confusing sentences for people to try and read. I mean, I don't know why I do it, I guess my right thumb gets a little space bar happy (I only use my right thumb to space, my left thumb just kind of hovers over the keyboard and follows the rest of my fingers for the ride. He's getting the better deal out of this typing thing, I think, since hes basically not used, but as I was typing this I realized I use him to type out my 'c's. How the heck did that happen. I trying hard to use every known letter of the alphabet to see if I use him for anything else, but its quite clear that I zanily use him only for c and WHOA, i used him for the 'z' too! How weird is that? while my right thumb is used only for the space bar.) Also I guess when I type my left hand moves around the keyboard a lot, doing most of the work while my right hand is just sitting there and barely moving. Considering I'm right handed this seems opposite what I would expect each hand to be imputing in this effort. You'd think it would be more of a team effort but I guess I'm a left handed typist and a right handed writer.

I think that's enough rambling for this post...
