Taking my role as a college freshman, I expected to have later classes. Wrong! Every weekday class starts promptly at 8:30 am -- not that I'm complaining! I have an extra hour of sleep since I don't have to drive to class anymore; I just walk and I'm there in a heartbeat! Mornings aren't that bad because waking up is not a problem for me. Breakfast is my motivation! However, going to bed on time is a real problem.
I want to be in bed and falling asleep by 11:00 or 11:30, at the latest. Let's just say it never happens. I'm either on Facebook, getting last-minute homework assignments in, or visiting my fellow dorm-mates. This "going to bed early" thing stinks. And my motivation to study is just as undisciplined.
Facebook is just a click away, and Dearblankpleaseblank.com is just waiting to be read! These websites are simply made for procrastinators like me! As much as I love music, and as much as I want to be a chorus teacher, I greatly dislike music theory. I admit I skipped studying with MacGamut for a few days, but I eventually get all of my work done, so it doesn't really matter when I do it, right?
I'm going to automatically assume that's a big, fat negative. A step in the right direction has been made, though! I've written up my future schedule for studying everything from Music History to French 101. Hopefully I have enough discipline to stick with it, but this might take some serious work...
Procrastinators, unite! ...tomorrow.
