Last week I had plans to study and to finish all my homework. Unfortunately I did not follow through. The unforgiving cloud of laziness and procrastination hovered over me for most of the past week. I was not successful in fulfilling my acedemic plans. There is really no legitimate excuse for it. I was just too lazy. Instead of doing what I am supposed to be doing (finishing homework and studying for class discussions or tests), I go out with my friends or spend time with my boyfriend. I find myself in these situations during most of my life. Since I know what I am doing wrong, perhaps I should stop and do what is right. As a matter of fact I will. Whenever I am faced with a decision to go out or do homework, I will do what is right and focus on my acedemics before I can spend time with friends and others. It will be difficult and time consuming at first, but I know that in the long run, it will be better for me.
From last week to next week, adjustments such as the one in the last paragraph should be made. I should use my time wisely and efficiently. Whenever I feel "too lazy" to do homework I should tell myself to snap out of it and think of the choices I have: either I do my homework now and get it done for the next class; or I put it off until the last minute and stress over it, not doing what should be my best. Since I hate being pushed and hurried to finish things last minute, I will choose the most obvious choice: finish my homework for the next class. This way I will not have to worry about it at all, and I'll have some extra time on my hands to spend with whomever I wish.
