hhhmmmm..... things have to change

I made a resolution this semester that I have made every school year for the past few years; to stop procrastinating.  When it comes to school work, I am the worst.  I put it off until the last possible moment.... literally.  There were too many times I was only just finishing work before class started.  I really do want to break this bad, lazy habit and actually do my homework today, not tomorrow when it is due and running around to hurry up and finish it.  My Achilles heel is that I would rather read one of my books or watch TV than do work.  These issues have really risen in the past month as I just ordered new books and my new phone is also an e reader.  The temptations keep increasing :/ .  Just last night I put off doing homework to watch 5 hours of Music's 100 Most Shocking Moments with the countdown going 20 moments an hour (good show by the way).  I just need to try and focus on school more.  The things I need to do: questions for physical science, work on my photo story, read a chapter for my other education class, and the website reflections.  I will work on them..... in a little bit.  Sorry, but I cannot go cold turkey on a habit I have had for a few years XD.  Lets see how I handle it all.

Interesting Saturday

On Saturday morning, my father and I had to take our dog, a miniature pinscher, to the vet.  Her name is Abigail, but we call her Abby for short.  It was time for her annual check up, but she also had these weird bumps growing by her hips so we wanted to go in immediately.  On the way to the vets, my father's truck, a 1988 Bronco, was having problems shifting, it is a manual shift, and we were on the highway.  I started getting nervous that we might break down in the middle of a lane, but luckily, that never happened.  Unfortunately though, his truck started to smoke for a little bit, coming up through the stick shift.  That kind of freaked me out a little.  Luckily, we made it to the vets without anything else going wrong.  As for my dog, she may have have a liquid build up that was re-absorbed or weirdly forming fat pockets that we just have to keep an eye on.  Later, we were able to drive home without having to get towed.  Sadly for my dad though, he has to get a new transmission.
