On Procrastination

Just wanted to give a preview of my next outfit post and share a video because I've exhausted every other avenue of procrastination and I am desperate. I've been pretty good at doing things well in advance since uni began, except that one design assignment where I literally completed it in 15 minutes at 6am on the day it was due (I got distinction. I do not know how my tutorial teachers mark things). But mostly, I've done a complete 360 since the end of high school/the HSC and I would probably win the Most Improved award in the 'Not-avoiding-important-shit' category.

I think all those missed procrastination opportunities have been silently grouping in the corner of my conscious over the past few months and have been holding meetings and planning on ambushing me when I'm at my weakest and most vulnerable. Which is right now, man. They're running at me with scissors and throwing cats with knives strapped to their backs and dropping heavy dictionaries on my head. Because I have a Flash animation assignment due VERY SOON that takes VERY LONG TO DO which I HAVE NOT STARTED and DO NOT ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO DO.



Instead of watching 6 weeks worth of tutorial videos, I've been watching 6 seasons worth of The Office, skidding across train stations and grazing my hip severely, sitting too close to my heater and burning myself, wearing not enough clothes and worrying about my impending hypothermia this winter because I have an inordinate amount of mini skirts and insufficient levels of knitwear in my closet.

So, I'm going to start. Enjoy the video (which made me smile from ear to ear and dance around my room in my underwear instead of doing work). This guy probably has the best dance moves I have ever seen.
