For someone with excellent time management skills, I certainly do not put them to use

I'm basically an idiot. While this applies to many areas of my life, for today I choose to focus in on my time management skills. As a general rule, I waste a LOT of time doing things that have little to no value and that are detrimental to my success in life. For example, I am currently writing this blog, even though I have yet to start my four page Opera History paper OR my take home test that's due tomorrow.

Let's evaluate how I spent yesterday:
7:45 My alarm goes off. I decide at this sleep induced moment that I'm going to screw studying for my midterm and sleep more, seeing as I was up until 1 the night before stalkbooking and am therefore very tired still.
8:45 Another alarm goes off. I decide I don't need to straighten my hair today...more sleep
9:15 Another alarm goes off. I finally decide to get out of bed and begin my day, but only because it's preview day and I have to look fresh-to-death (def, if you will). Since I have a midterm, I plan on being ready to go and leaving by 9:40.
9:40 Get out of the shower. Evaluate Evie's outfit. Facebook. Eventually dry my hair and put on make-up.
10:00 Leave for my 10:10 Midterm
10:10 Fail my Midterm
11:15 Waste away in quite possibly the most boring Visual Aspects class of the semester
12:05 Facebook in the Music Library
12:20 Decide to skip lunch and area recital in exchange for adventuring with Sarah, Joe, and Allison. Adventures include sitting in rocking chairs in Martin's for a half hour and buying a lot of Chick-fil-a.
2-5:30pm Sit on the Quad. Skip Health. They talked about contraceptives. No great loss.
5:30 Get Josh to take me home to get my car even though I have to somehow get back and be parked by 6. This plan is unsuccessful, as Josh's car has been towed.
6:00 Am on time to Opera Scenes, but car-less
7:20 Leave for Otterbein, which begins at 7:15
8:25 Spend 15 minutes laughing at Martha's sweatshirt
8:40 Leave for Jack's rehearsal
9:00-10:00 Run a 3 minute song about 6 times...this should have only taken 25 minutes max.
10:15 Get home, make a nutritious dinner of popcorn, brownies, and sour patch kids
10:30-11 Analyze a map of the United States in preparation for my road trip...next summer.
11-12 ...I'm not even sure. All I know is that I finally got in bed at midnight.

In conclusion, over the course of an entire day, the only things I actually accomplished that I NEEDED to accomplish were a test and three rehearsals.

You would think that this knowledge would cause me to reassess my priorities and get my life in order, but instead, I continue to write this blog. In about 10 minutes I plan on making a nice, relaxing brunch, watching TV, and waiting for my laundry to finish drying.

I still have those papers to write, so I think I'll do them after Chorale. Or maybe I'll blog again instead.
