College

My name is Natalie Stadnick, and I am a procrastinator.

For the past two days I have been trying to coax myself into writing the papers I have due next week. Alas. I have not been successful. But, I'm getting closer! I actually checked out the books I need from the library. However, those books are sitting on my bed -- unopened and unread -- while I type out this blog post. What can I say?

If I recounted in detail my first week of college, you wouldn't believe what I told you. So, I'll just stick to the basics. I like my classes (Reducing World Poverty, Philosophical Thought, Law Morality & State, and Ancient Greek Civilizations). I like my professors. I like my adviser. I like my roommate. I like this town, and I like the coffee shops in it. I like the horrible, politically incorrect school songs. I like the Honor Code. I like the tradition and the pomp and circumstance. I like it all. Except for writing papers. That, I do not like. And so, I procrastinate.

Agnes Scott is a beautiful school; I need to take some pictures and post a photo album... that will be my next procrastination-project.

I've found a wonderful new church: St. Paul (Grant Park)! The first Sunday I showed up I felt like I was home... it was a Communion Sunday and just about every cross-section of people you could imagine was represented at the altar rail. It was the closest I've seen a church come to true community in a long time.
They remembered my name when I came back the next week. And here's the kicker -- they let people who can't sing into the choir!

Not to mention the fact that words can't begin to describe how wonderful I think St. Paul's pastor -- Rev. Susan Allen Grady -- is.

Anyway. I need to start writing my papers... or maybe I'll keep procrastinating and do laundry!

Peace.

welcome to the club. if you learn nothing else in college, learn how to focus and get your work done (then you can play without feeling guilty!)

by the way, I am still learning.

Nat,

Ohhh yes procrastination. I am the king of procrastination.

What I would do was set goals for myself. For example: Okay at 7:43pm I write two pages singled spaced. (I always single space, so when I double space it looks that much longer, it is all about perception and psychology)

Then, when I would write two pages, I would treat myself to a brownie or a soda....or whatever..........

Anyways......getter done!!
