Since I posted that post, I've added one paragraph, and 2 or 3 random sentences to this paper. And a reference listing. I'm getting soooooooo much done.. not.
While I was sitting in the insanely long drive through waiting for some sustenance to fuel my brain, I had an epiphany of an excuse for my procrastinating style. Since I'm such a perfectionist, I have decided that it's better for me to procrastinate because then I don't have time to nitpick it to death and scrap it altogether in frustration after butchering it with nitpicking. So then I only have to deal with the anxiety AFTER it's submitted, rather than on both sides. Yay for excuses
hahah. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
Also.. future secret swap partner.. I may or may not have had too much fun in walmart's school supply aisle this week.. soo.. uh.. I hope you like office supplies as much as I do
Hi there Anastasia,
How ironic. I, too, took Med Lab Tech (changed to Chem Lab Tech because I pass out at the sight of blood - so Med Lab was not a good fit for me obviously - lol), but I had to drop out with one semester to go. Money reasons and raising 2 toddlers by myself and getting only 4 hours sleep a night. So I fell back on my Accounting degree instead and that's what I've been doing ever since. Still, Chemistry was my passion, but too late now. I went back to school in my 50's and while I had fun taking classes with young people for 3 years, I don't want to do it again. I'd rather just retire and sew, crochet, craft, travel, hike, etc. Wow, I think I'm talking myself into quitting work!!!
You cannot get me out of an office supply store or a drug store or a $ store without some kind of purchase, so we seem to have a bit in common. And, I'm also a perfectionist. This, as I see you already know very well, can have its plusses and its downsides. Nice job of getting 95% on your papers. I had a 3.9 GPA and was bummed it was not 4.0. Perfectionism is stressful, but you seem to have learned to deal with at least 1/2 of the problem. Good going.
See you again. Almost time to get our partners for August. Yippee.
