Horrors from a Preschool

At training on Monday, we were told the following story during a session on safety in schools:

We were talking about the dangers of children sticking things up their noses. There was once a little girls, say around 3 years old, who had multiple sinus infections. For a 3 year old, this is very odd. The parents took the child to the doctor over and over again, finding nothing out of the ordinary. Finally, the doctor ordered a CAT scan for the little girl. What did they find? WELL, the little girl had a tendency to shove random objects up her nose. Eventually she shoved a Lima bean so far up her nose that it was undetectable. It finally came to rest in a dark, warm, moist place in her nasal cavity and started to grow roots! By the time the doctors found it, it had grown roots into her sinus cavities!!!! The little girl had to have emergency surgery to remove the Lima beans and roots. She was ok eventually.

Gross right?

Procrastination

Oh procrastination... you are my friend and my enemy all at the same time. I love procrastinating. In college, this was by far one of my favorite things to do. I got so much done when I was procrastinating- I would clean my house (much to my roommates surprise), I would cook, I would read, I would call friends and catchup... there were just so many options. But the funny thing is while I was procrastinating doing something there was always something I was supposed to be doing. That is essentially the definition of procrastination.

Now is no different. I need to be finishing up my graduate school application. All I need to do is finish answering 2 or 4 questions for the application (instead of a statement of intent), make up an academic resume (whatever the hell that is), order my GRE score, and send in my Georgia State transcript. I have been meaning to do all of these things for 2 weeks almost... 2 weeks! Why am i procrastinating on this? This is something I want to do... I want to go to graduate school, out west, and start something new. Right? But when you look at my actions, it's hard to tell. And yet, here I am, blogging (which is my new favorite form of procrastination) instead of just finishing! Seriously... what in the hell is wrong with me? Why am I trying to sabotage this?
