Things have been going fairly decently the past... wait... 8 days? Really? Huh... could've sworn it was longer... Oh well... That's what happens when your days begin to blend together.
That's a fascinating phenomenon I've discovered since I started working.. Whenever you have a job (A real job, not like babysitting or having a paper route), then your days start to blend together and you have a hard time remembering what happened on what day... That's how it is for me anyway. I can remember almost everything that's happened in the past month, but I can't tell you when in the month it happened, and there's a distinct possibility that I'd get everything out of chronological order.
I've also realized that I'm having a slightly harder time remembering when certain assignments are due for school, which is not good when paired with the fact that I almost always procrastinate. For example, I had a paper due for history last night at 11:59 (submitted online), and I had completely forgotten about it until class that day. Then, of course, I have to procrastinate at least a little, so I spent from 4-7 playing Fallout: New Vegas. Then I got dinner, made myself a martini with the shaker that Alex, my roommate, had purchased that day (He made himself one, too, cause we both wanted to break it in), got out my accounting homework, and put Wilfred (Awesome show, BTW) on Netflix for background noise. I didn't finish my accounting homework until 11:55, and completely BSed my 2 page history essay just in time to submit it 40 minutes late.
Needless to say, that experience has taught me a valuable lesson... Don't try to do accounting homework while watching Wilfred, cause it'll take twice as long as you want it to.
Seriously though, I'm gonna try harder not to procrastinate. It's a challenge for me, especially when all I wanna do on my days off work is relax and play some video games or watch stuff on Netflix, but I need to go back to the whole reward system thing that I did Freshman year.... I should also start forcing myself to do Rosetta Stone instead of playing Fallout... But damn it, it's just such an addicting game!

After re-reading that entire post, I've come to the conclusion that there's too much that I want to be doing right now... I want to be doing Rosetta Stone so I can learn to speak German, keep up with homework, have a steady job, be a peer tutor, and work on the novels I've been trying to write for the past four years...
I should probably start another blog just to keep the 8 of you who follow me (And probably 3 that actually read this thing) up to date on those novels.
For those of you who are aware of, and care about, my novels: Bleeding Hearts has been completely scrapped and Eternal Darkness is most likely going to be restarted again, this time as a possible series. In addition, I've also gotten started on a Sci-Fi novel that's yet to be named and I'm considering doing some sort of Culinary related novel, though I haven't gotten any ideas for a plot yet... Just a basic concept of the characters that would be involved (Taken from people I know and stories I've heard).
That's about all I can think to write right now. I just needed to get that stuff out in the open somewhere, and that's why I kept this blog for so long. (Also a reason why it's called "Rantings of a chef-in-training")
