Procrastination

Yes,well here we are again, another titillating excerpt from the wonderful world of Luci!.... I have been so so busy recently, what with going back to university and struggling to re-engage with the academic part of my brain to bash out a 3000 word essay... it's tiring stuff you know, so I haven't had time for the blog thing. (Much to every one's disappointment I should think!)

Anyway, I am currently feeling:

Enlightened

Inspired

Frenzied

Passionate

Intelligent

Creative

Alive

Human

..which are all good things.

I just wish I could actually SIT down and write this damn essay though. I whinged about my concentration 'problem' to a friend, who passed on some advice they had received from a psychotherapist- She suggested it was probably my inner child making it hard to focus,wanting to PLAY, and therefore hindering my concentration. The method for dealing with this blasted inner child was supposedly to get a spare chair, place it next to yours, physically place the 'child' on the chair, give it a packet of maltesers and every time that child piped up and demanded attention (for example... "oooh, i'll just have a little check on facebook, ya never know-someone might have messaged me back in the last 5 minutes...I'll juuust...") you tell it that you know it's there and it will get some attention later on, but right now the ADULT (that's me!) has something to do. Then I guess you, uh I mean the child, gets to have a malteser. Its a great theory... I tried it out- I went to get some chocolate, sat down, couldn't concentrate and realised that I'd left the child in the sweetie isle of the Co-Op....

Here's some things I've done instead of doing my essay:

Hoovered in between every single floor board in the bedrooms.

Brought 2 diaries and spent hours meticulously filling in the "details" part
Facebook- lots, this one goes without saying.

Made sure all the bracelets, earrings and necklaces are all in Separate containers.

Enlarged a picture of a rasta on a photocopier to A1 size purely for my own amusement.

Cleaned all door handles

Organised the contents of my wardrobe- all skirts one side etc etc

grown my nails

Chewed off my nails

Got very drunk.

Written this blog.... and on that note ********
