Why do I procrastinate?

Mood: Exasperated with self!

A few posts ago, I mentioned trying to get motivated.......well, I am still trying, but I have at least started printing off all of the readings that are required for my subjects this semester at University. But, in true procrastinator fashion, I have waited until Orientation week to start doing so. Orientation week is the first week for 1st years, but for myself, it is one week before official lectures, tutorials and practicals start. So I have really waited until the last minute to start getting organised.

I have also bought a USB Flash Drive - woohoo!! That is because our university gives us a measly 10MB of disk space to save our work on at Uni (that we can then access from home too). To save me constantly using that 10MB up, I have bought a 512MB USB Flash Drive to save my work from Uni and bring it home and vice versa. This is the first year they have been equipped to be able to support the use of the Flash Drives, so I am going to make full use of this during my last six months of university.

Hopefully on Wednesday I will find out which Tutorial group I am in for this semester. I would like group 3 or 4, and not for the other people who may be in those groups too, but because the timetable for groups 3 & 4 suits my lazy morning attitude a bit better. The earliest I have to be at Uni is 10am, which suits me just fine!!!

And the placement lists for the '1st Group' have gone up, and fortunately, I am not on that list. The 1st Group has to do their placement on Thursday and Fridays for 10wks, then have 4 wks off, and the 2nd Group has Thursday and Friday's off, then does theirs in the 4wk block. Now, anyone with half a brain can work out that having Thursday and Friday's off is going to make it easier to get assignments and other Uni work done, where-as by the time the 1st Group get 4wks off, all of the Uni work will have been completed.

10wks of University Lectures, Tutorials, Practicals and Assignments, then 6 wks of clinical placement, followed by 1 wk study vacation and 2 exams. That is my last semester of University (if I do the right thing and STUDY).
