*disclaimer* I am in no way endorsing procrastinating studying. In fact, I condemn in. I, in fact, am perfectly fine with my procrastination, because I also get work done… for example, I can tell you the style and time period of a wide variety of buildings, can tell you anything you could want to know about the Trobrilanders, or can easily point out all styles of Disneyization in society. So, no, I’m not the most qualified to make this list, but I do have a small list compiled, so here it goes.
1. Go for a walk.
In fact, go for two. And add some sightseeing in there too. Stop and see the Christmas lights, and the freaky giraffe heads poking over the walls.
2. Go eat.
3. Go for a run.
Run about five miles. Listen to bad dance music and get out all the excess energy you required from drinking AMP.
Then go back to number one.
4. Pack for winter break.
Then go back and unpack, then pack again, then have to unpack again.
5. Go eat again
6. Read something else.
For example, I have recently stolen a copy of Pride and Prejudice from a friend, and, while I would never normally touch Jane Austen, I am finding myself incapable of putting it down in lieu of having to pick something else up… like notes.
7. Make a Study Fort.
‘Cause that’s what all the cool kids are doing.
Erin and I built a fort by stringing sheets from our beds, which are lofted, to create a real palace underneath the covers. We acquired pillows and blankets and now have the best place to “study” on campus…
8. Go on Facebook.
I’m surprised I didn’t list this sooner, but it is normal to waste up to an hour on Facebook, creepin’ on people who are dating your friend’s best friend’s sister, who you’ve never met, nor are going to ever meet.
9. Roll around on the floor.
Surprisingly fun and satisfying. Especially when combined with a game of “eat Erin’s foot” and pretend to be a shark.
10. Go with someone to go eat, but just sit there and stare into space
11. Go check on other Dorm mates to make sure they’re on task.
More likely than not, they aren’t. But in the rare case that they are, slink quietly back into the room and stare at the wall feeling bad that you are procrastinating. Then…
12. Defrost the refrigerator.
13. Clean your desk.
Then decide it’s a prime time to organize all your papers by date. And rearrange your pens so they mimic the rainbow.
14. Catch up on t.v. shows.
Today, I got all caught up on the Office and watched 2 episodes of Community. It was just as rewarding as you think.
15. Make a list of blog topics for the future when you have nothing else to blog about
Because just making a post about defrosting the refrigerator (the highlight of my day) is way too undeserving of an entire post (although, I’m sure I could make an entire post out of the experience..)
Then actually blog about one of said things on list.
Then feel guilty, because you have two major exams tomorrow, and you need to continue studying for them in case the Trobrilanders slipped a new tradition into their culture.
That was fantastic, hehe. I am impressed that you were able to do all of this, especially since another procrastination technique would be you sleeping until eleven. Bravo, A+. ( not sure about the eat erin's foot game though. Haha)
