what. a. disappointment.
i went to drama today all optimistic and whatnot, only to be whacked in the face by a 'stray' football. that should have been a warning that my day would not be filled with laughter and smiles. meh, i live in hope. my day was filled with forgotten props, un-learned scripts, evil money-stealing vending machines, and finally the dreaded realisation that we arn't as ready for our exam as we thought we were. even though this was made painfully obvious, the other members of our group refused to work and went home 3 hours early. this brings me on to my rant topic for today.
sheer, unadulterated laziness. otherwise known as the '' i'll do it later '' disease.
things unfortunatly do not get done by themselves. i know. i've tried it before. if you don't get up and do something, nothing will change and you'll just have more to do later. that will just stress you out more and make it even more difficult to actually get round to doing it. it could have been a simple task like washing a plate. but if you put it off, more and more will pile up untill you have nothing left but a big pile of unwashed plates.
however, if you think of things as a big pile of laundry around your feet, it helps. it looks like you'll ver get it all washed. but if you keep looking at the mountain of washing, you'll get tangled up by what's at your feet. so the only way to get things done it to take things a bit at a time, and if it gets too much then take a break. have fun with some friends, then get going again.
in soe ways, the more recent generations (plagued with laziness) are not fully to blame. i mean, how can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?
this was essentially our last chance to get our performance sorted and done and we blew it out of sheer laziness. *sigh* honestly.
right. lets end on a possitive for once shall we? the new chapter of my story is coming along nicely thankyou very much! still a while to go before i'll post it as i'm still sorting out the details but any ideas are helpful.
well, thats about it for now. i'm going to see a play soon so that'll cheer me up some.
later!
