Procrastinating....

          We all do it. Like myself today. I have a reading and questions due tomorrow and I haven't worked on it yet. My procrastination started yesterday. My day was filled yesterday with going to the hospital, going out for lunch, going grocery shopping and doing chores. Finally at around 5 o' clock, I got time, but I decided to "catch up" on my current favourite tv show, The Biggest Loser. The Biggest Loser is a show designed to change people's lifestyle. This includes staying active, eating right and building a lifestyle around that. In this show, they select contestants from around the U.S. to participate in their show. They have professional trainers, Bob Harper and Dolvett Quince. They help these people lose their "extra" weight. That's why at the finale they crown the Biggest Loser to the person who as lost the most weight, percentage-wise. Enough about that but the episode took about 2 hours, so it was quite time consuming.
          Next, I decided to watch some youtube videos. I normally stick around with beauty gurus even though I myself don't seem like the kind of person. I am also a Shaytards fan. I watch pretty much all of their daily vlogs since the day I discovered them which may be almost 1 1/2 years now? Anyways, that goes up to like a little over 7 o' clock and I decide to practice my clarinet playing.
          For my art elective, I chose Instrumental Music or Band. I chose the clarinet because in grade 5 and half of grade 6, I was in band and then a quit. I thought that since I have once played it, it must be easy to get back on track. And it was, for the most part. I realized that I learnt very little in the 1 and 1/2 years. I want to learn quickly to catch up to my current class' average pace. My inference is that they have all played from grades 5-8. So, as you can see, I need to PRACTICE. I always get frustrated when I play the wrong notes or am off beat. So, I spent an hour playing the songs that I am pretty good at (which aren't too long btw) but focused on my beat. 1, 2, 3, 4, I count. I got pretty good with the half notes and eighth notes which were most difficult for me. It was well spent.
          I ate dinner, I watched some more videos and did whatever I could to not FINISH my English homework. That included blogging, for the most part. My cousin had already started a blog a few days ago and that inspired me to start one. I originally was thinking about it since I've read this other blog about a girl who had once had and is still recovering from bulimia at the age of 23, I think? So, I decided to start one yesterday because firstly,  didn't want to start my homework and secondly, because I was meaning to start one, I just didn't know when.
          I promised myself that I would do my English in the morning when I woke up(around 10:00am) but that failed since I ended up sleeping at 2:00am. I am SURE that I will do it right after I eat lunch. -crosses fingers-
