Out of the Park!

Well, I sure haven't been procrastinating this week. I spent the last 4 days preparing my Senior Project Proposal. I delivered it this morning. 20 minute speech with a 25 slide PowerPoint and a 12 minute documentary in front of the department faculty and the other 13 seniors.

I knocked it out of the park.

I think I might actually graduate!

Holy Shit!

Procrastination Day ?

I can't seem to really get on top of anything. I'm working on my project. I have the paper and the film open on the desktop and I'm not really making headway on either. I'm sure the panic will set in sometime in the next few days and I'll really get to work, but I have this subconscious fear that I'm going to blow everything.

Today's procrastination tool:

The Internet!!!!

Procrastination task for the day:

Snake the sewer line!!!

The HVAC man said I've got a sewer leak under the house. MMMMM...Tasty!  I've been a little lazy about it and was telling myself I'd get around to it. Not exactly Johnny-on-the-spot homeowner now, hunh? When I got back from taking the boys to school, I imagined I could smell it (maybe not so much in my imagination) so I called my friend Ted to come give me a hand. We're going to rent a snake and see what we can do about it. 

Wish me luck!

Happy Easter!

Yesterday, instead of working on the projects, I worked on the yard. It really needed it. Orlando, my neighbor across the street, has cut a good bit of the front on Saturday night. He left the mower in my drive so I finished up the front and then cut the back. Next came the edging. That was some long, hot work! I had to change the blade halfway through and that made all the difference. I did my yard and Orlando's. I have quite a sunburn on the back of my neck. In the evening Orlando and Doreen had us over for an Easter picnic. We had pancakes, strawberries and Cool-Whip. It was delicious. 

It was an excellent holiday.

Today's procrastination tool is: 

Georgia Bulldog Football!!!

I'm watching the G-Day game on ESPN. What other team could get national television coverage for an intra-squad scrimmage? And while I see good things from some of the players, I am worried about getting expectations up. After last season, I don't believe the hype anymore.

After the game I'll be thinking about taking the kids to a movie, or cutting the grass, or maybe doing some laundry.

18 days of school left. 

18 days to get my work done. 

18 days to procrastinate.

I have to go through dress rehearsal for my Sr. Project Presentation today. I have a new suit and an old tie, a new PowerPoint and an old method of delivery. One day I'll learn not to extemporize everything. Until then I'll just wing it. Anyone else flying on a wing and a prayer today?

So starting this blog is what I'm doing today instead of preparing for my senior project presentation. I like to think of myself as a world-class procrastinator but since I actually get things done on occasion, I imagine I'm actually a wannabe.
