Reflection #5

"The MOTS"

 As my roommates and myself would say, because we like to shorten EVERYTHING "The MOTS" really means "The Motivation". Which sadly I do not have at this point of the semester. I never knew how bad and surreal the lack of sleep could affect a person, until about late September where it all started to now which is October 13th; with that said I am officially *drum roll*  two weeks behind on sleep, Yay Me!! I have never felt more like a Zombie ever in my whole 18 years of life. This is definitely something i wouldn't wish on anyone. My lack of sleep is so bad that it has caused me to have no MOTS at all whatsoever.  Not only that but these past weeks I have been a surly, snarky little witch, and I feel so terrible for anyone who's around me. I have no idea who iv'e become but thankfully I know how to get myself out of this pickle of Sleep Deprivation and that's for me at least going to church and hearing the beautiful word. Overall I think the problem has been, that I have had no time for anything including church.  I'm putting way to much on my plate and being a horrible procrastinator doesn't help either. So NEW PLAN! I'm now going to have a whole day to sleep on Saturday, catch up on all my amazing work I need to do, and go to church. I need to get myself motivated and healthy again so I can finish this semester the way I started it. I mean after all this whole situation came completely by happenstance, I never thought I would get or at least feel as if I was "past the point of no return." It's tough but i have to say these have been the best months that I'll remember forever, so i know better to make the most out of everything.

Blog #3

   Looking into the past many lessons were learned and memories made. If I could sum up my whole past week into one word it would be "procrastination". If there's one thing I learned and one memory I created they would both revolve around my horrible habit of procrastinating. All week I've been busy with school and work but still have had the opportunity to do my "Must Do"
On my To Do list. Which usually consist of my homework, but because of this horrible habit of mine I kept pushing and pushing everything back thinking it would be more helpful. Of course it only made everything more stressful at the end of the week. Not only has my procrastinating affect my school life but my outside of school life has been affected as well. For example I've had the most amazing opportunity to see Idina Menzel who's an incredible Broadway singer but of course before the show I decided I had all the time in the world to get ready. While we were stuck in the five o'clock traffic I realized this habit of mine needs to be worked on. So what I'm looking forward to accomplishing this coming up week is improvement on my procrastinating. I'm not expecting to break this habit of mine in a week but taking the step to improve will surely make a difference. Learning and making memories goes a long ways, it all depends on a person's view point. I tend to look at the positives always. You live and you learn, it's what makes us who we are.
