I Should Get an Award for This...

I have recently done a major scientific study and have found that the most efficient way to do my homework is to wait as long as possible to do it so that I have a set time limit. Usually twenty minutes before class starts. In other words... I should get an award for how well I procrastinate. How is it completely, 100% justifiable? If I don't give myself a time limit then I will wind up shopping online twenty minutes after I try to start my homework early. So really, I'm saving myself time and money. And since I have so much time right now (while I'm NOT preparing for my midterm a week in advance) I have discovered some tidbits of information on that wonderful procrastinating device called the internet:
1. There is a book for insults and comebacks for those that aren't bright enough to come up with them on their own. (http://www.amazon.com/Insults-Comebacks-All-Occasions-Lines/dp/1601060580/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1285215302&sr=8-1
2. Google books only gives sections of the book. Don't let it fool you into not buying a whole book for your civ. class
3. Netflix is so great and makes procrastination that much easier.
4. Lovin' the new and improved Google!
5. Warby Parker has done it again. For every pair they sell, they will give a pair to someone in need. Well I'm in need of the black Fillmore glasses please. (http://www.warbyparker.com/womens-eyewear-fillmore-eyeglass-frame-black?sc=7&category=-107 )
Well, I must get back to NOT doing my homework and barbeque chicken is sounding just delicious.
Done and done.

The First Freshman Post

Here it is. The momentous occasion. The first time this newbie will start a blog. Why, you might ask? Well a few reasons...
1. I'm avoiding doing my homework
2. Now my mother doesn't have to call me five times a day
3. This has the potential to be made into a movie. (anyone heard of Julie & Julia)
4. I've always had a secret desire to start a blog.
5. All those blogs I've stalked over the years can now stalk me.
To be quite frank, I don't know what to do with this blog or how it will turn out. But I will do my best to keep all the blog stalkers (and my mother) that happen upon this page as entertained as possible.
The first order of business: who I am...
1. A newbie to BYU!
2. A tad bit dramatic
3. A Jane Austen wannabe
4. A procrastinator
5. A shop/choc- aholic.
I guess that will have to do for now because I have an essay to write.
Done and done.
