Chapter 18: The Universal Law of procrastination

Yet another weekend of my life passed without me doing something productive.

I did go out and ran after a bus for 30 minutes

. I wasn't mad at myself for missing the bus while walking at a luxury pace thinking it will wait for me...lol. I was supposed to go running actually. And I did...I ran after it from where I live all the way to a certain park...which was bigger than I thought it was...and kept going on and on...till at some point, several families and their pets and lots of green park spaces later, I found out that it goes all the way to the beach! Aha! so now we know what we'll be doing next sunny saturday!

On Sunday, I come out the back of our student village again. Because I get unstable when I got work to do...lol... I found a long tiny road, followed it to wherever....found a nice village with winding path and all ...thinking I can use google maps and comeback..and realised a bit too late that it wasn't working. So I followed my guts all the way back to the village cause google maps were resting on Sundays. Yes. ...I did do my laundry. I had to.

None of these things did I plan to do for real tho.

I was gonna learn coding. ..and do my assignment for that. It is due in two weeks.

Everytime I try to start something early. ...it just falls apart. ...till the last 72 hours before the deadline.

It's ridiculous really. ...but that is what happened so far!

It is as if there's a Universal Law for procrastination. ...one only non-procrastinaters can beat...and as far as I know those people don't exist.

Jack and Luke asked me to join them for group work again. ...I don't know what they see in me. ...or if it is that they're just nice people.

They're nice.

I like them.

Pride is a curious thing. ..here I am- a positively useless group member- being invited to a group of two cool guys...and yet not at my own initiation. I, despite knowing my flaws, would somehow never reach out to ask for help from people. So I closed my eyes and prayed about it when we were given the group work. LOL.

The first time Jack reached out to me... you know how that went. The second time, we still rolled with it. The third time?

Well...I was geniuely surprised.(Yes...i did pray about it again.) It's hard to be confident with people...I thought they wouldn't wanna work with me a thrid time...but for some reason...they rolled with it..Thank God!

Jack is in love with his flatmate by the way...he doesn't know it yet...and I've never seen her...but he is smitten...and smitten for good. I made a mistake of noticing his new hair style before everyone else did and pointed it out.

Then I thought that might communicate bad messages_ an 'am all over u' perhaps...so I ignored him all day to compensate for that lol. How childish!

Luke tho... luke. He's super classic. He's got the classes goin for him...the tech nice and easy...his accent game smooth. Sure he may not be tall and built up...or have a lot of hair...but...I'm a sucker for brains.

I came here to tell u that I sucked at doin assignments early...but oh well...I do submit them on time when I finally do them...and get good marks...so...oh well...
