Boy of Summer

What defines summer better than our national pastime?  Warm sun. The smell of fresh cut grass. Hanging out with friends (lots of em). Cold drinks to cool you off. The crack of a base hit. Flashing leather. Strike outs. The roar of the crowd after a walk off home run.

The Boys of Summer are back in full force. I can’t think of anything better than that.

Procrastination Makes Mark a Fickle Boy

Yeah, I used fickle in my title.

So as you might guess I spent tonight as I spend nearly every night: procrastinating. Here’s the thing though, I really don’t think procrastination is always such a terrible thing. For instance, if I was purely working tonight, I wouldn’t have been able to see my Rockies win their season opener. If I was doing my spanish homework and not allowing for interruption, I would have never talked with a really cool girl on AIM for… was it really an hour? I guess time flies when you’re having a great conversation. So I guess my point is, procrastination can lead to some really rewarding experiences.

BUT

I now sit at my desk as the clock chimes 12:44 am (doesn’t your clock chime then, too?) with 11 spanish lab manual assignments to do and a paper to edit for tomorrow.

Then again…
I can always put the editing off until after lunch, right? haha.

Like I have alluded to, I’m in a good mood. If I told you there were two main reasons why, could you guess? Although, being in a good mood isn’t conducive to getting work done right now. On the contrary, being in a good mood is causing me to sit back and think about summer, baseball, Colorado, my birthday this weekend, and in the back of my mind…. what if? Possibly more on that to come in the future. We’ll just have to see. For now, no quiero hacer la tarea. I think that’s right. I quit spanish.
