procrastinating. me? never.

I never actually thought I’d be that girl – you know, the post-graduate, on-the-verge-of-entering-university girl. It sounds weird, but I always figured I’d be in high school forever. Even though I know what I want to do, I can’t imagine myself ever doing it.

Being the next Sandra Sully, for lack of better words.

It occurred to me today while I was working job number one, that I’d been a casual assistant at the local discount store for TWO YEARS. That is a really long time, if you think about it. But it hasn’t felt like a long time. I’ve been fixing up customer messes and scanning items that may possibly work (but more than likely won’t) for years, but it seems to fade in comparison to everything else. And I’m closing in on my one year anniversary at job number two, and I can safely say, I still don’t know how to froth the milk. Not that I’ve ever been given a chance to learn, but still. I can’t totally pronounce myself ‘Queen Barista’ if the only thing I know is that its 170 degrees for a cappuccino. The end.

Anyway, I received my package from the university yesterday, in its massive A4 glory. I hold it up like it’s the Holy Grail, and open it.

Needless to say, about halfway through the ‘how to enrol’ booklet, I feel slightly nauseated and quickly make myself some herbal honey and lemon tea before I vomit. So now, it’s sitting on the kitchen bench. “This is a form of procrastination”, I tell my mother matter-of-factly, after picking up the fruit bowl and putting the load underneath it. She reminds me that my new year’s resolution was that I would stop procrastinating. For one, I tried to ignore the fact she only seems to remember the kind of stuff I say, but never stick too. And secondly, I replied that it’s not true procrastination, as I’m not doing anything else to replace what I should be doing. I’m just avoiding it, anxiously looking at it when I go to grab a nectarine, like it’s a bomb about to go off. And it will go off on February 8, so I guess I should suck it in, and read the rest.

But I should watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy first.

Over and out!
