This is something that I have always had a serious problem with. If I have somewhere to be at a specific time, most likely, I will be late to that place. If I have homework due at a certain time, I have a cram session a few hours before the assignment is due or before I go to bed, such as this one, which is entirely too close to the time that it is due.
The only time that I have something done on time is when I will suffer serious consequences if it isn't done, such as being on time to school this semester because If I am not I don't have a lunch period!
Part of the reason that I don't get stuff turned in on time is because I find other, more entertaining, things to do such as the following examples.
-Oh my god! I ****** love this song! *three minute concert in my room, by myself*
-*ding
dong* the door rings. It's Kimmy Kent with all of her homework that she needs
to do too! But instead of doing homework, we watch four movies, eating hummus,
and suck helium out of balloons and sends snaps to friends.
-My
Guitar: *chanting louder and louder* Play me! Play me! Play me!
-
My Heart Will Go On comes on Spotify...
NUFF SAID!
I
guess I should really start to try harder at being on time. Sure, it is fun to live
a care free life and just go with the flow and it is definitely more fun to
have a one man concert in your room by yourself but in the long run, it's going
hurt me more than anything. Someday when I have a real job and a real life my
boss isn't going to like the excuse, "I don't know, I'm just late!"
Excuses like those lose jobs!
For most of us, we don't realize how big of a deal it is to create a habit of being late. My entire high school life I have been okay with it because it never really affected me, I still got what I needed to done and had fun when I wanted to but when we grow up and start living in the real world getting the one assignment we have due, finished, won’t cut it. We will have multiple jobs: dads, moms, husbands, wifes, grandmas, grandpas, and last, professionals in our real job fields. Taking care of our children only when it is most needed isn't going to work. Doing our job at the last possible second will get to hard to keep up with. As for being a grandparent, well I guess that's the pay off for working hard because you can spoil the grandchildren and send them back home to their parents, therefore you only have to be a grandparent sometimes. Oh the perks of being old ;]
Cramming at the
last second isn't something that will allow for successful, happy futures so it
is time to use our time wisely because in the very near future we will be
taking off into that new world of jobs and bigger and badder lives. So it’s
time for us to put on our big kid pants and use our time wisely!
Tucker! I think I am totally opposite of you! Ha, I have a problem with being late but you know, that’s just me. I don’t know how you do it, being late and not getting in trouble. I always get in trouble, so that’s my lesson of never being late. I hope in the future you are better at being early. I remember once I was late picking up Jaken from the sitters and I felt so bad. I thought your examples were funny. I make excuses for not doing homework, or cleaning to many times. But in the end as we grow up we gotta learn to be early or on time. It wont work in the real adult world. Now I’m going to think of this blog every time I’m late for something. (:
ReplyDeleteTucker,
ReplyDeleteI do not understand how people can stand to be late. I am horrible about being on time. If I am not five minutes early I am late. On the other hand, I am really bad about doing assignments on time, or at least not procrastinating on them. I have become better at studying though I do not understand how it helps. I can understand your wanting to do all the things. I have a ukulele that does the same thing your guitar does! I usually get in trouble, and realize that I need to do something productive. Then I can goof of again. Once I feel accomplished. I hope that you can be better at being on time in the future!
