Slothful Sundays

Hello again! I was just sitting around, not doing anything productive and then thought "Why don't I write a blog post about it? So here it is, my traditional Sunday.

I'm not sure if everyone has this, but for me, Sundays are always the same. I always wake up late, I always have breakfast in the afternoon, I always get changed late afternoon and I always end up searching ridiculous things into YouTube for a good few hours before I realise its the evening. And this is repeated the following Sunday too, and the one after that and the one after that.

Now, as a student in her last year of high school, this is a problem. I get a lot of homework on the weekends, but I'm normally quite productive so its never been too much of an issue. But lately, I've felt as though I've stumbled into this void of laziness that has no clear escape.
Its awful, I tell myself I'm going to get all my work done on the Saturday...come the end of Saturday and what a surprise, its not done. Then I tell myself I will get all my work done on the Sunday...come the end of Sunday and its still not done. This then resorts to me copying my friends homework in tutor before lessons start, and me not actually learning anything.

The thing is though, I never used to be like this. In fact, I used to get all my work done on the Saturday, but now my general laziness paired with the curse of Sunday results in me being incredibly unproductive. Some maybe wondering what I mean by the curse of Sunday.
I can't explain it, but Sunday is the day where nobody can be arsed to do anything! Its just such a chill day, especially for me. All I do is eat biscuits, make countless cups of tea and watch Disney films. And when I try to be productive, when I sit down at my desk and tell myself I'm going to do that Physics worksheet, I just end up spinning on my chair and singing along to Tom Odell; getting no work done.

For example, right now I have plenty of work I could be getting on with; I have a Drama monologue to write, I have an English exam questions to answer, I have Maths revision to do, RE revision to do, I have a French writing assessment to learn...but I'm just sitting in my room, wearing an oversized 'I Love Roma' jumper and blue joggers writing a blog post about this.
This is what people mean when they discuss the true art that is procrastination.

Till next time
