It's October! Let's procrastinate!

It's October again.

I know this not because I looked at my calendar. Walking into Walgreens to satisfy my addiction to chocolate all I see is Halloween decorations and treats. It's October! It's Halloween! Most importantly, it's my birthday!!! In a couple of weeks I'll start my last year as a teenager, I'm turning 19.

After getting a grip and my chocolate and my cotton candy tub I check Facebook on my phone. Almost every status says something along the lines of: "Studying!", "Help me, God, with my three exams next week!" and so on and so forth. This only serves as a reminder: it's October and I have three exams this upcoming week.

I settle down in front of my computer and start studying for Calculus for Engineers. Not ten minutes into it I forget I haven't done my French homework. Seeing as French is easier and more interesting than Calculus I log into my Tell Me More account. I spend more than the fifteen minutes I needed to in there and come back to Calculus.

Hm...I haven't been on Twitter in the longest time. I check the timeline and lot of the tweets are NaNoWriMo related. It's October. I'm taking a 6 course load (19) credits this semester and yet I sign up for NaNoWriMo. What am I thinking?
