Boy am I lazy!!!!
I am lazy. I'm not just lazy as in couch potato lazy, I am
lazy in many different ways.
I start off my days on a bad note right off the bat. I dislike
waking up in the mornings and I consider it to be a grueling task every
time I do it. I try anything possible to sleep more.
Even if I have something to do in the morning, I will consider it less
important than sleep. I've hit the snooze button to the point my
alarm clock realizes that I'm not waking up and doesn't buzz. Because
of that, I strategically place my alarm clock as far from my bed as possible
so it will require me to get up and walk all the way across the room.
I've sacrificed breakfast for more sleep than I could imagine.. I
don't have time to make it to the cafeteria before class because I was
using that time to get ready for class and wash up. That means during
class I'm starving all the time and all I can think about is food and what
they're serving for lunch that day.
The reason I am so tired in the morning is because I sleep so late.
I sleep late because I procrastinate all my school work until the night
when I'm panicking to get it all done. I don't recall a time where
I've worked on something a couple of days in advance. Even if it
is a paper assigned ten weeks in advance that counts as half my grade,
I will most likely start it the day before it's due. It's not because
I enjoy cramming, it's because I always feel confident that I can get it
done in a short period of time. Or in other words, I'm just too
lazy.
Fortunately, my grades haven't been affected by this. I recall writing
a history paper with a presentation the night before and I still got an
A. The paper was supposed to be eight to ten pages long with a
20-25 minute presentation including visuals such as posterboards and
pictures.
The requirements were high, yet I still held it off to the day before.
I've done this so much that I'm beginning to feel that I work best the
day before. (Even this paper right before you is being typed up at
around five in the morning!) I'll never learn my lesson.
My laziness doesn't only affect me when I'm at home doing work, but
also in the classrooms. My attention span is very brief. My
mind has a tendency to think of other things that happen to be in my mind
at the time. My mind thinks of all sorts of things when I'm spacing
out, from food to sleeping. If my mind wandering goes on too long,
I sometimes fall asleep. I think because my sleeping patterns are
so distorted, that I am always sleepy. Yawning is like a disease
to me. I've had a few moments where I yawn over and over again until
my eyes are so watery that everything is blurry. Kids in school changed
one of my many nicknames from Philsberry Doughboy to Philsberry Sleepyhead!
My laziness has seriously impacted my eating habits. My mother
taught me to cook a few dishes because she wanted me to be able to eat
some good food when I went off to college. But I would so much rather
eat instant food even though it doesn't taste as good. I stocked
up on instant rice, instant mashed potatoes, instant soup, and instant
noodles for my dorm room. I feel like it's a hassle for me to chop,
cook, wait, when I could just throw some stuff in, wait ten minutes, and
eat. The dishes my mother taught me to make taste so much better,
but I don't feel enough energy to actually go about and make it.
The problem with all the instant food is that a lot of it isn't that
healthy. That requires for me to exercise but that's pushing it.
I'll occasionally do my jogging, push-ups, and sit-ups, but I could never
make a habit of working out until it becomes second nature. I don't
feel a motivation to workout. The worst thing is that my metabolism
isn't that high so I have to get active once in a while. If I didn't,
I would probably be very round and very plump.
Laziness has been a part of me most of my life, but I can never seem
to get over it. I even resolve every year to get over my laziness
but I never stick to it. I always forfeit after the first few
weeks.
Hopefully, in the future, I will change my ways and finish my work before
twelve, sleep early, eat food that requires some cooking skills, and get
in some more physical activities. But right now, it doesn't seem
like it will be anytime soon. Lazy, huh?
