This is my friend and I's #1 excuse for procrastination. 😀

I hate cleaning, but procrasticleaning is a beautiful thing I am quite talented at. I haven't learned the art of procrasticooking though (I'm a terrible cook on the regular).

I wish I procrasticleaned. Alas, I'm more likely to pull out homework to avoid cleaning than the other way around.

I just procrastinternet these days. I think I used up all my productive procrastination last semester when I procrastiwrote a book in a month.

You wrote a book? I write books, too! Well, mostly the same one over and over until it no longer sucks, but I think I'm almost done with it.

I seem to be more successful with short stories than books. But yeah, wrote a very rough draft that I haven't looked at since November.
 
I'm super excited to spend tomorrow hiking some of my favorite places one last time before parting ways with my undergrad. I can't believe that after one last exam on Thursday and graduation next week, I'm actually done. It's surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) bittersweet.

That's cool! I wish I were better at short stories. They seem like a great way to get your name out there in the writing world. I was a creative writing minor in undergrad, and I always tried to use novel excerpts for my fiction classes whenever I could because I really struggle with short stories.

And my book started as a very rough NaNo novel, too. Of course, at the time, I was all full of myself and thought it was perfect just the way it was. Then I stepped away from it for a while, started actually studying writing, and came back horrified at my naivete.

I love how many writers there are on this forum. 😍
 
Nothing sucks like being on campus for 18 hours, going back to your apartment and realizing you have to be back there in 7 hours.

(Getting my body ready for the crazy vet school schedule apparently. But there's no way i could do this for 4 more years) I've had all nighters and long days, but not like this. I'm trudging up the stairs to bed emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted. Bed.

Summer is coming soon. I think. 10 days? something like that? Yay
 
As I pack up my apartment, some observations: The idea that I ever thought I would pull out old physics notes again is laughable. My kitty spent a lot of time sleeping on the same sweatshirt (cat hair doesn't lie). I found a textbook still completely sealed in its Amazon box; clearly needed to spend that money. Three giant white boards might be a tad excessive. I love to buy cleaning products (but I definitely don't love to clean😉). I also loved to buy binders, many of which I never used (theme?). I apparently hoard Revolution.

I have sooooo many old school papers, going back to elementary school, just gathering dust in my parents' attic. 😛 At least almost all my vet school stuff is on my computer!
 
I just have issues with not having anything to show for my work other than a single letter on my transcript. So I keep my exams so I can look back at them and be impressed with my previous knowledge...that I probably have completely lost already anyway.
 
I disposed of most of my notes. It was hard but I did it. Couldn't bring myself to give up the histology ones though. I'm gonna hoard those for a few more years in a box with a small stack of papers I wrote throughout undergrad and my terrible childhood fiction. Nbd. What's life without a little bit of hoarding? 😛

We had a professor mention ochem in class and he apologized to us and said it wasn't important lol

My first ochem professor started the class off by saying he failed ochem in college like 3 times. And then constantly bragged about his research. Then in spring semester, he's gone for not meeting research requirements

My professor was just like "I'm sorry for bringing up ochem. Most of you got C's in it. I would know, I'm on the admissions committee." lol

My ochem professor first day of class: "You'll be glad to know that organic chemistry saves lives...it keeps people from being doctors."

I burnt most of my undergrad notes at a bonfire. Far more satisfying than hoarding them.

See, I don't think you understand just how much satisfaction I get from hoarding. Burning things isn't satisfying, but hoarding? Oh man. Hoarding is the best!

Throwing away every note I ever took in undergrad was basically the most freeing thing ever. Plus I think I'm gonna need room😉
