The life of coursework: procrastination

Quick note before I click post: this is going to be a complaining post. Well, (1) I need to get the stress of coursework out of me, (2) this is part of my procrastination plan (writing this post has managed take about 10 minutes).

The title says it all. Basically, distraction is the key to procrastination. The general story is: I have a management essay due this Thursday and an economics assignment due next Tuesday. The management essay is about half done... I just have to waffle another 400 words about managers lying for the organisation... I have a general thought on it, but I just can't seem to express in it words... well, let's wait for the inspiration to come~~ (hopefully soon).

In the mean time, I've decided that I can't write about my economics assignment without reading the textbook and making notes first, but that numbs my brain after two and a half pages or so... so now I'm finding 'interest/productive' things to do rather than making notes. Mind, I have been working diligently for the past few hours making these notes.

At this point, you'll be thinking I did great, making notes for a few hours. What you don't know about is the five or six hours before I started making notes: I was watching Korean variety shows (again) whilst attempting the management essay and the econs assignment in turn every hour or so. In two days, I actually finished U-Kiss's variety show: Vampire. I've tried to watch this a few months ago but it wasn't that interesting... but then I desperately needed some distraction (omg, for a moment there, I had this word block and couldn't spell distraction... I was like: #des'? no, 'dis'?) <-- Excuse that moment of retardedness. Now I'm watching Chef's Kiss, another U-Kiss variety show... I was enjoying it until about episode 7, this was the point where I started to make notes and could no longer concentrate on reading the subs and keeping up... (I still carried on watching it though... I'm on episode 9 now T_T)

The life of coursework. Sigh. What can I say. I hate it. And it'd be much better if I was actually writing it right now rather than complaining on this blog...

I feel like eating sushi...

I've concluded that when I'm doing coursework: I eat a lot T_T
I bought some fizzy cola laces from Tesco's yesterday... I ate two packs yesterday and ate the other one today... it was three for £1. They didn't last very long and I was rather disappointed; not because they didn't last very long, but because they didn't taste that good (certain bites tasted really bitter =S) and eating them didn't make me feel any happier. I feel this is where the economics of happiness should come in... or maybe talk about marginal utility theory (some new micro stuff I learnt a few weeks ago) but I think I'll give it a pass and I'm sure not many people are interested to know.

If only writing the management essay is like blogging. I'm sure this post exceeds the extra 400 words I need to finish it.

Back to making notes... Annyeong~
