Oh the Irony

You may be wondering why I'm posting twice in the space of a few hours, I can explain. Remember how I admitted to being a Millennial? Do you remember what one of our (yes, I'm grouping all Millennials together) defining traits is? Procrastination.

So, I forgot to write a blog last week, which is why I am writing two this week. Double the posts, double the fun.

Why do we procrastinate? I say we because my wife is just as bad as I am. Procrastination plus procrastination does NOT equal productivity.

Maybe I work better under pressure? I'm not sure. But I do know that when my wife is procrastinating, it definitely makes me feel better about procrastinating and I certainly try to get her to procrastinate with me. I guess the saying "misery loves company" applies to procrastination too.

I like stories, so I'm going to tell you another one.

So one time my wife was procrastinating, for which I don't blame her. We were watching House on Netflix, we sure love that grumpy doctor, when she realized that she had to complete two assignments. One of them required her to bake a specific recipe of oatmeal cookies; I was excited when she told me. Then, disaster struck: she asked for my help.

Normally, I would be happy to help out, especially baking cookies, but it was probably around midnight (just a guess, considering we usually don't start homework until that time) and I just wanted to veg out before bed. Also, we didn't have all the necessary ingredients so I had to trek all the way over to the grocery store 5 blocks away. I ended up making the cookies, and pretty much doing the whole assignment for her while she did her other work. It was a humorous occasion, and shows what can happen as a result of procrastination.

Maybe procrastination is the reason why I have two zeroes on my weekly readings for one of my classes, but we can't be too sure. Don't worry mom and dad, I'm making sure I finish my little five point readings now.

I'll tell you one thing though, I will continue to procrastinate. It feels so good to be dangerous and push assignments to the limit. Who knows, maybe you all will be blessed with another week that contains two blog posts. Time will tell.
