Since January, I’ve told anyone who asked “what are you doing this summer?” that I am going to Paris then Nepal. Months ago I said it with joy and anticipation. That joy has since morphed into anxiety and stress. As I type I am only a few weeks away and I have yet to buy my tickets or make accommodations. But, this post will be my last bit of procrastination. I’ve got my credit card beside me ready for the using.

I don’t see procrastination as a terrible practice. When I was in college I did my best work when the deadline was mere hours away. I admit that when I say I procrastinated, what I really mean to say is I waited to do the bulk of the work when it time to work- as in I learned how to build momentum on projects and papers by slowly gathering resources for that final push.

But, this is not college. It’s real life and I have what I need to get the ball rolling.

Ok. I’m gonna stop writing and start buying. More tomorrow.
