falling off track:

i just realized the start of school is imminent, and i've yet to complete any of my summer assignments! this is most definitely terrible, and daunting. i think the main reason lies in the fact that it's summer, and my own procrastination. yet again: procrastination is always here.

starting thursday, which is tomorrow, i will complete my list of priorities and deadlines, mentioned below:
- thursday 7/19: finish house of mirth dialectical journal; finish the chem packet, do the notes and assignments in the textbook on friday
- friday 7/20: finish chem textbook chapter one and all of the assignments that goes with chapter two; take notes for chem textbook two
- saturday 7/21: great america, but by the day's end, will have almost completed reading invisible man, as well as start the dialectical journals
- sunday 7/22: ap government homework. must complete at least 3 out of 15 articles and evals (20% of the work). if i time myself correctly (i.e. waking up early), i should be able to complete that within a couple of hours and have enough time to study for the sats and finish chapter 4 of YT.

well, a four-day plan is good right now, transitioning from lazy-retard mode to efficient-proactive mode cold turkey is incredibly hard. wish me luck!

ps. i'm kind of disappointed that YT isn't getting as many reviews as it had in the first two chapters. could it be because the chapter isn't very good? are my skills lacking already? this makes me ponder and i find myself worried: is this it? am i destined to be a one-hit wonder? oh, that thought is most terrifying. and i plan to avoid it as much as possible.
