November

It's the second day of November. Shit.

With all the stuff I have due by the end of this month, I kinda have an idea what a turkey must feel like right about now.

November is usually my favorite month, and no, not just because of the 9th. I love Thanksgiving and the anticipation of December and the holiday season. But if I don't focus and start getting my work done, it's just going to be one creeping deadline after another from here till the book is due in March.

I resolve to make today my last day of time-wasting. From now on I'm reverting back to the studious guy you all knew and loved as an undergrad. No more slacking off.

Weekends? They'll be spent not in the City but in Mountain View doing research for the book.
Thursday nights? Well that's prime time to work on my three projects...who needs happy hour anyway.
Facebook? Never heard of it.

Yeah right.

But seriously, it's time to crack down and chip away at this procrastination-induced guilt I've built up since school started. November might already be a lost cause, but if I start getting on top of things, I can at least save December and January. Wish me luck.
