At 3.18 am, you can hear nothing except for the monotonous sound of my electric fan blowing. They usually cut off the centralize air-conditioning by 7 pm right after the sonorous "azan"--calling for prayers--during maghrib echoing throughout campus.
In the silence of the night, one can find oneself in serenity, only fit to indulge oneself in pure meditation to assimilate knowledge. The hall seems quiet and most doors are locked and the rooms seems dark. Among the doors in the hall, a irregular coughing and grumbling is heard behind one of the doors. Someone is still awake, and this fact is substantiated by the permeating light that managed to sneak through the small opening underneath the door.
I can't deny that I'm a procrastinator. Dilatory in nature, I'll wait for the last minute to do anything. I don't know why I am Indolent and with less than a week left, i remain torpor besides the fact that I am far from ready. Is not that GRE is very hard, its just that you'll need to have a copious vocabulary to do well. According to Dr. Y, I suffer from minor dyslexia, which makes it hard for me to remember all these words since often times i forget how to spell them.
I regret not listening to my other half telling me to study and nagging all the time at least 4 months ago. I wish I had listened, but what can I do, having a new job and all, with new bosses to impressed, I hardly find the time to prepare slides for my students, let alone study for myself.
Nonetheless, refusing to give up, besides the odds going against me, I choose to persevere and remain obstinate. Well, at least I'm working hard now.
This entry is meant to be verbose, superfluous and grandiloquent. It's just me being bored and wanted to try out the words that I hardly heard before to help me remember. Of course the whole entry is prosaic and undoubtedly an insipid write-up. I hope I didn't irritate or vex anyone, and give the impression that I was just being ostentious in my display of vocabulary.
Sometimes we have tried not to wait until to the last minute but somehow there are many factors that can lead to the last minute work... :-(
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can say that again. I wonder why we end up waiting for the last minute. Wonder when we will ever wizen up.
ReplyDeleteWell...I love leaving it to the last minute simply because at the very moment I am always confident that I can finish it all in time...but when the final moment arrives, I sometimes fail to complete the task...ofcourse there are times when my judgement or lack of it works... so there's always a 50-50 chance... I guess that's why I am still like you -- a PROCRASTINATOR -- not a trait I'm proud of...but more of a habit that's very difficult to change cos it has become a lifestyle...
ReplyDeleteAnd don't bother going to my blog cos I've just deleted all the contents in hope to start over... about a year ago....
