Why procrastinating is bad...and why I keep doing it anyway...

Procrastinating is bad, because when you keep putting things off, your have less time to get them done. And, as a result, you end up rushing around at the last minute, making yourself crazy trying to get them done in time.

Intellectually, I know this. And yet, over and over, every year, I still do it. Why? Sadly, I have no excuse. I get lazy, and put it off, again and again, just because I don't feel like doing it at that particular moment.

I have plenty of time, I tell myself. No need to worry about that now.

Yeah, right. Whatever.

So anyway, I'm finally working on getting ready for my trip. I've got a little more than a week to go now, and I'm still not ready. I still have a lot to get done. I managed to get a few things together - the toothpaste, the toothbrush, the shampoo, and stuff like that. Starting to think of which clothes I want to take, what notebooks to take with me, how much I think I'm going to spend, and all that kind of thing as well.

And just now I remembered that I forgot to get the insect repellent. Bleh, something to add to the "Do this before you leave, dummy" list. (>_<)

Ah well...so, off shopping again tomorrow. Hopefully I won't forget anything this time. (Doubtful, but...we'll see.)

But for right now, I think I'll go smack things around in FFXI. Just for a little bit. (^_^;)
