Procrastination at its Worst

Although I have tried time and time again to begin and complete projects even tasks such as studying for tests (one of which I have on Monday) I always seem to go off on a tangent. I was successful enough to only, perhaps even deliberately, to study 30 minutes in the last six hours knowing that I have not attended this class for over five weeks (Yes! FIVE weeks), but to my defense it only meets once a week. My little rant is not the point, what is the point is my perverse AND religious procrastination. I am positively sure that 100% of those reading this have had an experience of wanting to do other irrelevant, but needed (whatever makes us feel better) things before starting to work on priority #1--for me, well, school. Because of my addiction to delay, I have found myself with an endless list of "hobbies" that I've picked up over my time as a student which range from meaningless/everyday tasks such as cleaning to learning how to play instruments. Here are some of diversions I have tried to master: knitting, playing the guitar, playing the harmonica, beat-boxing, break-dancing, Soduko-ing, playing chess, Scrapbooking, acting, singing and the list keeps going. All of these things take time away from what I'm "suppose" to be doing, but what if this is what I am suppose to be doing? The doctor learned how to be a doctor because he just did it. The poet is a poet because he did it. The mother mothers her child because she does. Aren't I just doing?
