Procrastination

February 14, 2005 – 9:49 am

It’s 11:41pm and I can’t sleep. No, it’s not that late, but I’ve been trying to turn over a new leaf and keeping regular hours seemed like an easy place to start. For some reason though, I just haven’t been able to sleep much past 6 or 7 hours a night, and it’s annoying to say the least. I mean, when you don’t have much to do, sleeping is usually the best way to pass the time. Sucks that I can’t even do that.

Anyway, another habit I have to break is putting off annoying things. For example, I really should have closed my French bank account when I was in France, or at least taken the money out. Now that I’m away, I realize it’s a much bigger pain, and I’m probably losing god knows how many hundreds of euros in fees or whatever the more I hem and haw about finding a way to shut it down. Ugh.

And since I’m so free, I should also be doing more productive stuff, like writing friends and studying and whatever. Of course, I should be meeting more people and networking and job hunting like crazy. Also writing letters, updating homepage (hah! like that’s going to happen ever), and… and… well, actually, if you think about it, there’s not really that much stuff that’s absolutely critical, it’s just that what’s on the list is annoying, and so we just don’t do it. We’d be sooo much more efficient and effective if we just bit the bullet and took care of it, say by setting aside even half an hour a day.

Yep, so anyway, I did take care of one thing today already. Now, to see if I can sleep.
