Assignment 8 - Hampton Jefferson

Fears- heights, snakes, public speaking
Annoyances- busy work, stupid mistakes
Accomplishments- 3.9 GPA, maintaining relatively healthy friendships
Confusions- calculus conical word problems, not giving the ball to Benny
Sorrows- realizing in two years I likely won't be going to school with current friends
Dreams- going to a good college/ getting a good job
Idiosyncrasies- don't like mint
Risks- trying out for golf team (not making it freshman year)
Beloved Possessions, Now and Then- teddy bear (then) and iPhone (now)
Problems- procrastination

A problem that I have, and I know many others also have, is procrastination. It seems like it should be an easy one to conquer, but for some reason I keep waiting til the last minute do finish my homework or project. I believe if someone says they procrastinate, then they are thought of to have weak will power or they are thought to be lazy. I disagree with this statement although I recognize that this can be the case in some instances. When thinking about why I often procrastinate, I think it is due to the fact that I have done it before with little consequence on my grade. I have maintained an almost straight A GPA so my brain thinks to itself, why work on this now when I can just do it in the morning tomorrow. I have been trying to fix this problem of mine by attempting to finish my homework at home and not at school this year.
