Procrastination

Now I'm tempted to write, because I really should be doing a lab report that I have no motivation to finish (not to mention that it's barely started). I've been pondering a lot lately over the way I live, and I think that the quiet life is the one for me. That doesn't mean that I don't like to have fun, but I don't like things to get too complicated. I like everything where I can see it. That means that I take time in adding things onto my schedule - I keep it clean until I have the routine down, and then I can add something else. Well, I reached that point a while ago, but it just so happens that the things I've been working on haven't started moving until recently. So I'm bored, yes, but for me that's better than being overwhelmed. And I'm not the kind to sit around embracing the boredom, but I just take my time about it.

On another note, I'm having a less-than-quarter life crisis. I think my whole jumpy nature is catching up to me on this one, which is ironic because i just described myself as liking a regularly quiet life. I've just been doing science for two years, and suddenly have this insatiable desire to do something different, to actually get a well-rounded education. This need was certainly more than partially inspired by my complete lack of knowledge about current events, since I quickly have realized that outside of a career in neurological research, I'm not giving myself much of a range of knowledge. Don't get me wrong, a surgeon I will still be, but right now? Right now I have a chance to do something different, to contribute to being a more widely educated person. Research is actually probably one of the last fall-back careers I would want to end up in, so does this really make sense?

On another note, while I probably would do fine in another area of study, my time for jumping is running out rather quickly. It actually starts counting now, and the wiggle room tightens up more and more as time passes. Testing stuff out isn't as easy as it could have been, not to mention the fact that I'm doing well currently and would have to start all over again if I decided to switch my major. But then again, the course listings for political science seem so interesting... and I do have my Dad's mind for politics...

Oye. More pondering. Must. Work...
