Everyday is a chance to learn something new, and as of late, most of what I have been learning is about myself. One thing I have learned within the last 2 weeks is that in certain aspects of my life I'm a perfectionist. I never noticed until it came to exposing myself and experience via my blog. Last week was very exciting for me. I started school at SAE-Nashville and experienced a lot just in the first week. Everyday, I planned to blog about my experience but I didn't. I want every word to be correct and I want to write like the educated college student I am. That's the perfectionist part of me. I want to always be looked at as an educated, well spoken, classy young woman. Granted I am all of that, but that does not mean I cant write/speak about my experiences the way I want. So what if it does not come out in an ideal way, that's the whole point of this blog, to allow me to express my emotional and mental place no matter what is going on rather good or bad.
Another thing I have learned/noticed about myself these past 2 weeks is that I'm a severe procrastinator. Its like a disease for me. That's another reason why I haven't blogged in awhile, because I keep putting it off until tomorrow.. tomorrow could mean 2 weeks from now, even worse a month. The saddest part about being a procrastinator is that nothing is an exception. I know I have homework.. I'm still going to procrastinate doing it. I have somewhere important to go or do, I'm still going to procrastinate doing it. I even procrastinate getting out of bed in the morning. I know traffic is bad and that it takes me 45 minutes to get to work on a good day, I still wake up at 5:50 when I have to be at work at 7. It is sooo sad. What makes it worst is that I'm not even all the way sleep, I just don't want to get out of bed smh.
Nonetheless, an opportunity to learn is an opportunity to grow and no matter how big or small the lesson is.. its still worth appreciating. My goal for the rest of this month and probably life, is to not be a procrastinator and try not to be such a perfectionist when it comes to my writing. This is my story and I'm free to tell it however my emotions or thoughts would like for me to express it. What have you learned about yourself lately?

I've learned that I'm a procrastinator too. Or at least I already knew this. I have not yet found the cure, but I don't think I'm trying hard at it. We make time for the things we want to do. I'm working on changing my thinking and approach to tasks to make them things I want to do instead of things I have to do.
