A friend of mine and myself, we both suffer from
a 21st century disease. Hours, days, weeks go by while we sit at home behind
our desks, clicking trough the magical interweb and musing about the exciting
festivals to come or crazy journeys we must make (cycling through southern
Europe, hitchhiking all the way to world wide festival and back,...) or just
the random crazy shit we'll do when liberated from all this mind-killing
schoolwork.
At the same time we have loads and loads of stuff
to do and no time is to spill and we know that but it's the disease that is
bugging us to act this way.
Every now and then we take a break from
procrastinating and text each other the seriousness of the situation (" I
read 2 pages today! Èèèèk!", "Say whuuut?! You geek, I just finished
my mid-late-afternoon nap so chillax chica!") and when the urge kicks in we
call to complain about all the nosy bitchy students in the library hitting the
keys on their laptops so hard it seems they just came there to disturb your
already lost concentration, not to mention that "they have absolutely no
life at all, phuh" and "where do they even find the time to put on
that amount of make-up and those hideous fashionable outfits." While I'm
the one that reads tuns of fashionblogs a day, sitting in my pj's. SWAG.
We know, we know, all out of frustration but hey,
cut us some slack people. We just want to continue life all merry and still
deal with the burdens of adult life but all that study shizzle and
responsibility pressure is making us flip out.
This procrastination thing has been going on for
years now, and it only got worse. As we both are about to graduate (hopefully),
the latest question that often rises in our procrastination-conversations is if
any other students suffer that from this thing, because if then, it crossed my
mind we should probably set up some kind of APN (anonymous-procrastination-ninja)-group
in order to bundle our fabulous finds while procrastinating. Cause I must
admit, procrastinating doesn't come with negative effects alone. Serious things
I have discovered while avoiding the next batch of Algebra theories for
upcoming exams. One of them is blogging and reading blogs (soon I'll make a
post with my must.read.blogs cause most of my friends think I'm insane when I
even mention the word "blog". "c'est quoi ça, des
animaux?"). But the mental burden is a heavy one, all day thinking about
what your next lazy move will be, the dilemma's of what to eat now or when to
take my midday nap, and then I haven't even spoken about "avoiding the
guilt of doing nothing all day long".
So to end this post, we're sorry for wasting your
time but if you feel our pain. Come and join our next APN meeting, we'll be
(just a little bit later) then right on time...

DILEMMA
There are not enough hours in one day, not enough days in one week and certainly not enough weeks in one month....
Time goes sooo fast and I can hardly catch up. This morning I woke up realising I have 3 deadlines this week on wich I have to work today, tonight I go rehearsing with the band DSB and tomorrow I have to be in class at 8u30. I wish I had a helicopter (including someone who can fly with it) to bring me fast to all those places. Too bad I'm just a normal person. Besides of that I have to choose between a million things to do this week.
Thursday is the worst day if it comes to making choices! I have class until 7 pm and then there's a vintage shoe sale @eskimofabriek , there's MuseumN8 and there's a party at my faculty with as theme SPORTS. That last option is maybe the best one after all, partying, pretending to do sports and drinking beers at once sounds like a win-win situation isn't it?
