Rewarded For Being Lazy!

Chosen By The God!

There is a thing about me that I don;t like, I am so damn lazy at times! Lazy as if no one can beat me for being so... I would have too much stuffs to do and still I will end up doing everything else, wasting my time besides what I am supposed to do! For hour and hour. I am someone who will do a work for like 10 minutes and treat myself with an hour long break!

So, I had my finals this week... lots of stuffs to do, assignments, presentations, exams and what not? Had a five day break last week for Thanksgiving, and since I don;t celebrate it, I had plans to get most of my stuffs done! On first day, I thought "Oh! I have still four days to go, I can finish my stuffs easily!", I did nothing that day but went to Thanksgiving potluck with my classmates. Had a wonderful time. The next day? I went to Cheyenne for Thanksgiving at my friends' place. Had wonderful time again!

Asked my other friends if they had started doing their stuffs? Most of them had hardly started... I felt better. Thought maybe I will start writing my papers on Saturday like most of my other friends. I hardly got anything started until the fourth day! Wasted most of my Sunday as well doing nothing... but then wait! I had one paper due next morning... now I have no more excuses... so I head to the library... and start writing my paper at 8:00 pm on the last day of my five-day long holiday break! Worked till late, went home early morning... made it before deadline, luckily!

Then I had another 10-15 page research paper due on Friday, today. I decide to start it on Tuesday as I had most of my research done. Went to the library at 8:00 pm as if that was normal for the finals week... just edited the researched data here and there... got nothing done even though I stayed there till early next morning! Sounds pathetic? Wait there is more.

I decide to go and finish my paper Wednesday night. Kept on postponing the time I will start writing the paper. I decide to stay at the library all night. Oh, did I tell you how hard it is to find a computer during the dead week? You should consider yourself lucky, and lucky I was. Rather than starting to write my paper, I helped a friend write her HTML codes which I did for a week or so years ago! Surprised that I still remembered some of that. But the thing is, I hardly got my paper started, even though I stayed there almost all night and went home early morning as if now it was normal. That sounds too much.

Book & Bean ... and Memories!

So here it is a day before the deadline, I now seriously decide to finish my paper and get it done anyhow! I start early, earlier by my standard!, at 5:00 pm on Thursday... took a break once in a while... but by this time I had few other stuffs to worry as well, the presentation for the paper that I was working on and exam for my Financial Trading class. I finally get my rough draft ready around 1:00 am! Bingo! And tell you what? I was rewarded for that accomplishment, at least that is what I think.

After working for so long, once I got my rough draft ready, I wanted to stretch for a while. "Oh maybe I need to go get drink some water", I said to myself. So as I told you, when you have to study, you feel like doing everything else but study. On my way to drink some water I see a friend outside Books and Bean... Ok, I will go talk to her for a while, I thought after she saw me and waved. We talked for a while, she is like "Oh! You are graduating this Saturday. You won;t be around? I will miss you." Not bragging, but I have heard that from too many people in this last few weeks! And as I am talking with her, I look around and whom do I see? Alaska, Alaska! And she was looking at me! Oh My! And we greet each other and smile. I talked to my friend for sometime and after a while she left.

Do you call it emotional stability or what but even though I get very excited whenever I see her, I act as if I am normal. So I decide to go talk to her. She said she was there since like 9:00 pm working on her paper and I saw her just now! Damn bwoy! I must have been working seriously on my paper, otherwise how could I have missed it!? How? We talk about the finals week... I tell her how lazy I am when it comes to doing assignments and how my final week was going so far. And then she asks me, "Are you coming back next semester?" I reply, "No. I will be done tomorrow and I am graduating this Saturday."... She lays her right arm on the table, and puts her head over it, smiling as ever and looking my way, she says, "I have just known you for a while, and you are leaving!?!"... Oh bwoy! I could have died there and then... was I dreaming? Of course not even though I was kind of sleep deprived during the week. I reply with a smile, "I will be around, down in Denver."

After a while, eventhough I wished to talk to her all night long, acting normal I get back to finish my paper and let her finish her's. I didn't see her leaving but probably she was there till 3:00 am or so... So, I get my paper and presentation slides done. Decide to go home and study for exam. It's 4:00 am now... dozed off while I was studying... it was hard to stay awake. But I think that's normal when you have not slept for over almost a day, right?

Finally, I am done with everything. Graduating tomorrow. But doesn't it sound weird when you are graduating tomorrow and still have two papers due for the week after? I think it is. It is snowing like crazy in Laradise and it is -31 Celcius. I hope my sister and niece can make it here tomorrow with some family friends for graduation. God, you listening to me? I hope it won;t snow anymore, at least till tomorrow. I want them here!

Post script: I will probably remember Laramie for warm memories than this cold weather though. Now it feels like these 16 months passed too fast! And a part of me feels that I will be back here, sometimes, someday!
