They call me smart, but really, I’m just a little brilliant

Some people waste time, and other spend time wondering where they wasted it.

In a series of universally-correct, astoundingly astute observations of myself in my natural habitat, I have formally come to the conclusion that I would get so much more done if I did not have:

So really, it’s not at all my fault that I’m an easily-distracted procrastinator. It’s the internet’s fault.

That feels so much better.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

    I spend waaaay too much time on Facebook checking friends’ pages and their friends’ pages. I don’t even know their friends!

    I’m glad I’m not the only lurker out there, it seems I spend so much time on MySpace lurkin’ on everyone’s profile, even people I don’t know, ha.
    So yeah, I’m going to blame the internet too!

    I only have one of those things and I still waste ridiculous amounts of time each day. What’s my excuse?

    SO true. Chanel, you’re brilliant.

    My computer’s power adapter died (for the fourth time) and until I get a new one the only computer access I have is at uni. So yesterday when I was home I was astonished at how much work I got done. I was like “wow… I am so productive, what’s different today from other days? Oh yeah, I don’t have a computer!”

    It’s all those things you mentioned plus a couple more that eat up all my time. I’m almost better off without a computer!

    I know what you mean! During exam week last year, I had to turn off all my MSN and Facebook alerts. I felt like I was grounding myself.
