Deadlines

I'll just come right out and say that I'm not very good at deadlines (I didn't have to put quotes around that because it wasn't a direct quote). I mean, I appreciate them. They're just there to help me plan out. The problem is, I'm a procrastinator (hey, that could be a cool movie in which the robot from the future puts off killing people until the last second......well, I'd watch it). Really, I put everything off until the last minute and then cram. Deadlines just mess up my life.
Sometimes I have to give myself my own mental deadline to get myself to do anything. Take last week, (really, go ahead and take it. I had no fun with it whatsoever. It's yours.) I was supposed to do a newspaper article and I knew that if I put it off it would be done terribly. I had to force myself to think that it was due the coming Friday instead of the following one. I'm not sure if I believed myself or not, but the article got done (I love happy endings).
Well, I gotta make like a hair on a sharp knife and split.

Glass Work

So we're having mini classes this week and I got signed up for glass work. It's kinda fun. Basically, you just scratch out the shape you want the glass to look and then just break it out. Then you grind it to perfection, wrap the edges in copper, and sodder it all together. Mine kinda looks crummy and I can feel the fumes killing brain cells even as i progress through the murky, uncharted waters(at least for me) of glass work. I've barely even touched the realm of stained glass yet. I'm rather daunted, and I don't daunt easy.
Well, I gotta make like coconut on Skipper's head and bounce.

Back at School

Well, I just had an awesome Christmas break with my family and my girlfriend home. I even got to see some old friends from Nigeria. However, now that I'm back to routine, things are going downhill a bit. My mouth is sore from an orthodontist appointment yesterday, I'm really wasted from getting up at six the past few days for driver's ed.(good stuff though), and it's just before the end of the quarter, meaning I've got work to make up. Oh well, I probably just have to get back into the swing of things. Sorry to those of you who were looking for something funny, I'm just really not feeling it right now. If you want funny, go watch some old whose line is it anyway? or maybe just some Ask a ninja. Have fun with that.
