This week, we spent a lot of our time just working on our PoW. Me, being the person that I am, and for the fact that I hate myself, really didn't work on anything. I kind of either just read my book, since I enjoy it so much, or just talked with some friends. Which really isn't good, but hey, at least I'm being honest here. Getting work done at school is not my strong suit, I do better at finishing it maybe a week or two after it's due at my house while I cry. Just kidding. Maybe. But, one of the things that I really did enjoy this week was one of the spoken words that we watched. The poem Shake the Dust by Anis Mojgani was something that really spoke to me this week. Pun intended. This week was really rough for me. I wasn't really doing well in my math class, not really doing some assignments for it. You know, procrastinating, my only real talent. This poem really helped me through the week, though. Just hearing him say "shake the dust off" really made me feel better. I know that not turning things in is bad, or that not doing very well on tests or quizzes isn't good either, but it helped me move past all of this. It helped me know that even though this is a rough patch in my life, I will survive it, and I will be perfectly happy with myself, even if others aren't happy with me. Here's a link to a well written article about what procrastination is and how to stop doing, even though I'll probably never stop procrastinating.
