So I find that today couldn't have come at a better time for a blog update. Taking a look back at the last two "ancient" entries, I've realized that I made quite a mistake. My focus here is on the title of those entries ..or rather more like one certain word in those titles.
For you see, I had quite an "encounter" with laziness today. Don't get the wrong idea. I was not in any way lazy today. It was more like me defending quite the opposite. I am not, and will never consider myself, lazy.
That's why I have problems with those titles. No it was not laziness I faced. It was forgetfullnes to update. It was not wanting to update. It was I didn't feel the need to update.
If you catch my drift, I no longer want to associate the word lazy with me.
Enough of pounding this in. The fact of the matter is, I don't consider myself that type of person. I realized this when looking at all the things I do and make attempts to do. So yeah, maybe I slack off a little from time to time here and there. Who doesn't?
But I don't think that the word lazy is fair.
I did put off turning in the job application because I was unsure of the final stuff to fill out. I was going to get to it...it just would have taken me a bit longer which is a whole other problem in itself along the lines (where I don't want to go now) that may involve something like a lack of gumption?
So anyway I've been pressed with a bunch of things to do that are coming up and require a ton of me "asserting" myself and becoming more "proactive" with my future. (aka and to be blunt -- a job application for bagel cafe, a needed recomendation letter from a teacher, and other stuff concerning SATS, colleges, school, and track practice) Now that that's out there...let's see.
So yeah. I was wrong to wait a week before filling it out completely. It was my own mistake. If there was any laziness, it was me leaving it on the kitchen table hoping it would fill itself out on its own. That never happened. I actually had to use a pen and fill it out today. That's kinda where the whole lazy thing decided to poop out on me
Where am I going? I'm not really sure myself. But here you go.
All I know is that I try my absolute hardest to do as much as I can without crossing that line of the "L" word. It happens yes and has happened especially with stuff around the house. But all I can say is I'll just have to do a better job making sure the slacking doesn't happen again.
I try.
With all that's going on in my little life, now jammed with 50 million things to get done, the most I can do is make sure every single solitary thing is kept straight and orderly. But if today was any indication for my parents, when I start to see the straightness slumping just a little to laziness, I freak out, call for chocolate, and storm to the backyard to pick up dog poo that I know very well has long been taken care of.
I don't take well to slumping.
