I would have to say that my worst habit is my ability to procrastinate. I do have a way to justify my behavior though. I tend to work better under pressure. I believe that I have developed ADHD as a coping mechanism while in college. I juggled working full time and taking a full class load. I now work better under pressure. It is amazing if I get something done ahead of schedule. Don't get me wrong, I'm not late, I just tend to put it off.
I do think that I am getting better though. Case and point: I only have 3 students today and I really didn't have anything to do but answer questions. I decided to start my summer chores list early. I manged to get my biggest task started and almost (still trying to locate some addresses) completed today. I'll admit that I did have motivation. During the summer the "day" portion of my program stops (due to the fact that schools are not in session). I do a majority of my work during those hours. I have decided to ask to do ride alongs and to learn more about the community corrections side of my office. I am hoping that I can ask my boss to do ride alongs with our surveillance officer. If I get my summer list done now, that clears up my summer. Wow, that was a really long example.
I guess this blog is an example of my ability to procrastinate. I could be calling places and organizing my filing cabinet, but instead I chose to sat down and write a blog. Like I said, I'm working on changing that habit.

I Really Miss...
I really miss....
...my childhood innocence
...my childhood ignorance
...my nuclear family
...sleepovers
...taking college classes
...musicians who can actually play
...musicians who can actually read/write music
...working part-time
...the thrill of driving for no reason
...my senior year in high school
...traveling over seas
...watching the N'Sync special over and over again
...wasting time, lying in a hammock, watching the clouds move
...my glow in the dark stars that I stuck all over my bedroom
...mid-night phone calls to friends
...being able to read a book for fun
...the way it used to be
...sitcom television
...cheesy boy band music
...being able to be me
