Procrastination

It's funny how students long for excuses to step away from their homework and will take any chance they can get to have some fun. Take this weekend for example:

I had made a rather detailed plan for this weekend to study for my midterms. Friday was for one class, Saturday for another and Sunday for another class, as well.

FRIDAY
After sleeping in and waking up around 11, I decided it was important for me to have a delicious brunch which included eggs and bacon with a side of toast. What could have been a quick tidy ended up becoming an interesting project for my mom and I. I began helping my mom clean and organize our kitchen, which may sound awful to some... but was actually right up my ally. When my boyfriend came home from practice we decided it was best to just go to the movies, as clearly this day wasn't meant for studying. We watched Couples Retreat (amazing) and then ended up driving around for the rest of the night.

SATURDAY
Again... I slept in and before I knew it it was time to head downtown to watch a football game! This also took up quite a bit of time and by the time I got home it was 5:00. "Ok Meltab... now you have the rest of the night to stay home and start your studying!" After feeling an intense grumble from my stomach however, I realized I had to satisfy my hunger needs. So... I headed to Swiss Chalet take-out. I came home and decided I'd watch just ONE episode of Full House while I ate my dinner (for company.) One episode turned into three... and that's when I decided to head upstairs to do some serious studying. I got onto my computer to collect my lecture notes and... a little facebook here and there... some Cafe World games... e-mail checking ... and before I knew it, my friend and I decided we had to go out. Where did we head? Downtown again. A hop on the subway, a cab here, a cab there... and baddaboom! We were at the bar with drinks in our hands ready for the rest of the night.

SUNDAY
This morning I woke up around 11 and slumped downstairs to find my mom making french toast. YUM. I've helped her with the dishes and concluded that I was going to go upstairs and really HIT. THE. BOOKS.

... Open computer, check out facebook, check e-mail... check blog... and well, here I am.
