procrastin—

It’s 3:42 PM as I stare at the blank Word document. I need to have it finished by 6 PM if I am to ever have a chance of submitting a good speech plan to my communication class professor. I have a speech presentation on Monday, and I will be talking for five to six minutes about how one ought to adopt instead of buy pets. But because I’m a helluva doggo person, I’d mostly be using dogs in my speech, instead of pets in general, although I do recognise other animals, too. It’s just that I can have really bad stage fright sometimes, and talking about something I’m comfortable or very familiar with puts me at ease.

Speaking of stage fright, a friend related to me a random meme he found on the internet. Remember that cliche “hack” of imagining everyone in the audience naked to help alleviate your stage fright? The meme said something along the lines of, “Imagine everyone in the audience is a dog, because dogs won’t judge you”, which is exactly what you would want to be thinking, i.e. the audience isn’t judging you, while giving something the outcome of which is terrifyingly unpredictable (read: extemporaneous speech), especially when 20% of your final grade on the class depends on it.

Anyway, it’s funny how I found the time to write a blog post, even though I have a more pressing responsibility to attend to. Scratch that. I’m consciously putting off work (hashtag millennial).

It’s 4:04 PM, and I can’t procrastinate anymore.

Don’t procrastinate, kids. (Pfft)
