Trying to climb a glass wall or finally getting a foothold?

So, I realize I am probably one of the most lazy people on the planet, and I have come to accept this. My procrastination has always been spawned from my hatred of doing homework, which inevitably is why I am not an A-B student. It isn't that I am not intelligent or that I don't understand the content (excluding the bane of existence: math) it's just that I hate doing pointless amounts of paperwork or tedious assignments when I already understand the subject matter.

For example, I could easily get an A in history, but I often get Bs or Cs because I find that wasting time writing out answers to questions already covered in class outside of a test is just tedious filler work that eats up my time of doing something fun or more important (like watching all 6 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer). On the other hand, I do realize that I should try to be productive by doing things that I both enjoy and that I can use in my professional life.

On that note, I am signing up this weekend to bartending school so I can get certified and start working to save up money to move out by the time I graduate in the winter of next year. I am also going to go sometime next week to apply for some internships (probably unpaid and once a week) just so I get my foot in the door for my REAL profession. I have always wanted to bartend on the side though, so I will have fun making this my part-time job and cash cow until I can get on my own two feet in the design world. I am also going to the hardware  store today to get a cheap pressure washer so I can start doing some decent print work in my studio at home.

I also need to go to Chicago Screenprinting to get some supplies because that damn Yudo machine shit is too expensive and I know I can get screens and silk screen chemicals for cheap there. I just have to find the time to go and maybe drag someone with me because I am always terrified to go to new places alone since I have the tendency to get lost and panic the first time I go. Maybe I will drag George... Hmm...

I guess the whole point of this post is to say that although I probably will never stop procrastinating, that doesn't mean I won't get things done. I just like to do them at my own pace. So, time to act like a mother fucking adult and get stuff done!

...After today.
