I dont get it. I dont consider myself a work-a-holic. And yet... I just dont get it.
One of the projects for Uni is due in tomorrow. I walk into the University Library at 2.30pm and everyone is there frantically trying to create 2 A3 posters. I spoke to one of my friends and she said she didnt have a clue what she was going to do. At the end, I met up with her again and she said both the posters she done were crap but at least they are done.
I went to the library to work on a project that is due in next week. A guy from my class sits behind me doing his posters for tomorrow. He looks at me strangely and says "Why you doing that man? That aint due in until like next Friday. And we have the other 2 projects to hand in on Monday. This is due in tomorrow. You should have better timekeeping." I replied I knew but my other projects are 90% done and the project I was doing was troubling me as I had loads to do for it. The conversation continues and all of a sudden I feel like a goody-goody working on a project, like, a week early.
...
I dont get it. Why does everyone leave everything until the day before its due in before they think about what they should do? Surely the work you will produce will be of low standard, you might scrape a pass and anyway, first year grades dont count, but... thats not the point. I want to produce as good a piece of work as I can for myself, for my portfolio and for confidence.
This first year is here for a reason. To let you practise, learn and achieve. Whats the point if you never do anything? It costs money to produce crap the night before. Why not spend less money and do good work a bit in advance?
I dont get it. Am I a goody-goody? A work-a-holic? If so, I'm glad. I'd hate to be with the others stressing about finding a miracle for tomorrow.

It's nice to be a goody-goody! I regret not having worked harder at uni and actually done something with my time other than drinking :-)
Work on!
Hey k,
don't worry about other people, focus on your own work, time management skills are important in any job. Keep up the pace, it will definitely benefit you in the long run, and as you mentioned before, you avoid the stress. Also, you'll have the time to look over your work and make the necessary changes, as well as those finishing touches that may make all the difference when a lecturer/future employer sees your work.
Sorry for sounding like I'm mothering!
Take care, LUV SFX.
Hey :) I'm not sad that I am the way I am - I cant relax or go out and enjoy myself if theres tons I need to do, I can only that once its done, so therefore, the sooner I do it, the sooner I can have fun!! :)
Just feels as though I'm the only one who really wants to do this course..?!
ah well... least I can have a fun weekend whilst everyone's stressing :)
