10 Ways To Procrastinate

Classes are finally done. Yep, first semester classes are now over. However, I still have to take my final exams in these classes. 
Monday~ Biblical Literature Exam 10:30-12:30
             ~ Cultural Anthropology Exam 4:00 - 6:00
Wednesday ~ French Exam 10:30-12:30
Friday ~ Global Issues 8:00-10:00


All that to stay. I have a lot of studying that needs to be done. In doing this studying I have found that getting sidetracked is easy and procrastination brings on a lot spontaneity.    
So 10 Ways to Procrastinate on Studying: 


1) Walk down your floor stopping in everyone's room to say hi. 
2) Go to the library on impulse to select a Christmas movie to watch on a Friday night
3) Stare at you homework telling yourself to do it but end up doodling instead.
4) Look at the world map on the wall and dream of all the places you want to go.
5) Discuss ways that you could rearrange your room with friends.
6) Try drinking upside down (if you have the hiccups this works! Really I tried it :P ) 
7) If you hear screaming in the hall automatically think it is a conversation for your ears and rush to see what is going on. 
8) Go back down the floor once more to say hi to everyone else who is procrastinating. 
9) Study with a  friend.... concentrate.... concentrate... "did you see what the prof. did today?!" concentration gone. 
10) Figure out 10 ways that you have procrastinated all day and write  it down in a blog post.  


Well now, I guess I should study for a bit. Like actual studying :)


Christmas Countdown --> 16 Days!

"Grown Up Christmas List"

December has started and so the Christmas music is definitely legal to listen to now : )
It's playing in the mail room, cafeteria, book store, Java, and even the bank probably. It is fun, and I love how the songs always get stuck in your head and it almost automatically makes me smile. 
I tend to listen to songs over and over again - for that matter watch movies over and over again as my sister will testify.
This one, I have been listening to a lot...


This song kind of speaks from my heart. Some of my classes this semester have been really hard. Where is Hope? - this is the question that has popped into my head multiple times. There is hope, sometimes it is just harder to find then others.
Then I wonder, what if a more people strove for a better world. Where right would always win, when there were no more wars, when everyone had a friend.... We won't get it perfect on this earth but we could make a difference and make it a better place... Just a thought  

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" - Romans 15:13
