  1. Wow. This reminds me of every project, message, task, or anything you assign me with a due date. I am a major procrastinator, and I hate it. It’s really not a good idea to procrastinate, but it’s sad that I can’t help it. Have you ever made yourself so anxious that you felt sick to your stomach? Raise your hands, come on! Well, my hand is raised, and it wasn’t fun at all. Enough about being the “best” procrastinator.
    So let me tell you the story of a guy named Gary Gilmore. So Gary was a really bad person. He murdered two men and robbed a bank. Pretty bad right? I know you might be thinking, “Kim, what does this have to do with this quote?” I agree with you wondering that. Well, this guy worked with Nike. (I think at least. It’s either that or Nike stole his quote.) He was believed to have said, “Let’s do this” right before he was shot. Nike took this and tweaked it to be “Just do it”. So…again. What am I getting at? JUST DO IT. Yep, this whole story was just to have a reason to say JUST DO IT. DO THE WORK. If you work hard now, you won’t have to work as hard later in life. ‘Later’ becoming ‘never’ is talking about how us humans will be the death of ourselves. We keep putting off things that really need attention. Global warming. Who here thinks it’s real? I acknowledge that this is an issue in our world, and hope that we can get past someone documenting Trump’s every move. I mean, seriously!
    I literally just found an article about Trump calling the media “the enemy of the American people”. (Slowly, sarcastically claps)
    Ok, sorry for going into politics. Forgive me. UUUUGGGGHHHHH THIS KEYBOARD IS REALLY GETTING ANNOYING. (Flips Keyboard off of the desk) Do what you want to in life. What’s on your bucket list? One thing, which might be a little bit silly, is to get in a taxi and yell, “FOLLOW THAT CAR!” My only problem is I don’t know if it would be a good or bad idea. One of the more serious things is to go on a color run.
    When I’m older, I bet I’ll be the one college student that always waits until the last week before the assignment is due. I know that’s something I shouldn’t joke about, but I’m really being honest. I’m getting better at not procrastinating though. YYYYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYY. I just realized the quote included the word ‘sometimes’. Can someone applaud me please? I really tried my best to not be random and rant, but here’s the end of the line. YOU HAVE BEEN SACRIFICED TO MY RANT!
    I’ve literally been sitting at my computer for 6 hours straight trying to finish this blog today, so I don’t PROCRASTINATE it until the last day. Have you guys ever heard of Bruno Mars? Well, I’m literally obsessed with him and one of his songs “That’s What I Like”. I love the music and the lyrics. I have it playing on a one-hour loop and guess how many times I’ve had to replay it. Over 7 times. HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK!? I give up with that. Oh my goodness. I’m actually over 550 words. I’ve never made it this far. ONCHOUR! CLACK CLACK CLACK CLICKITY CLACK CLICK CLACK. (570 words)
    PEACE!

  2. I know this very well I am a real procrastinator (unlike Kim who did this on March 5 and she says she is a procrastinator.) As you can see this month ends on the 31st and I'm just completing and submitting this on the 26th and another time it was due on New Year's Day and I did it at 10:00pm on New Year's Eve. I’ve left book reports till the day they were due and all it did for me was set me up for a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad weekend because I sat at a computer the entire time while my family had fun. I’ve definitely told my mother that I'd do something later and just forgot or didn’t want to do it so I just “forgot” or just kept sitting there until she told my sister to do it or forgot herself. My dad says that to him this quote means don’t procrastinate (no duh dad, good job, way to put thought into it), to my mom this quote means that procrastination is more harmful than helpful it seems more helpful at the time but it really just shows your laziness I think this quote means reminding us as students to keep on top of our work to never just give up on some assignments and just not turning it in. This quote would benefit to our success in life because it will remind us to never give up on any work to keep trying hard to get to meet your goals.

    YOU ARE NOW ENTERING THE DANGER ZONE!!!!! ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!! THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN!!!! I AM NOW WRITING ABOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OF SHEEP
    The four main products from sheep are lamb (meat from sheep younger than 14 months), mutton (meat from sheep older than 14 months), wool and sheep’s milk. Bits of sheep can also be found in tennis rackets (strings made of sheep guts), candles and soap (tallow rendered from sheep fat) and most cosmetics and skincare products (lanolin, an emollient found in sheep’s wool.)
    Ewe: female sheep Ram: male sheep Wether:castrated male sheep Lamb: young sheep, less than 14 months old. Not only can sheep recognize up to 50 other sheep faces and remember them for 2 years, but they can also recognize human faces. Jacob sheep (the type I own) and goats look similar, but they’re different species. Sheep have 54 chromosomes(a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes), while goats have 60 chromosomes. During World War I, President Woodrow Wilson had a flock of sheep trim the White House lawn. There are more than 51 breeds of sheep and their average lifespan is 10 – 12 years.
    My favorite breed of sheep is tied between Dorsets and Jacobs. Some quality things about Dorsets are that they are big like HUGE they also have an extended breeding season, also called non-seasonal or aseasonal breeding. They can live in hot places because they tolerate heat well. They are born with horns but they are often dehorned. Some quality things about Jacobs are that they are mostly born with horns and you keep them on. They are a dual breed which means they can be used for both meat and wool. They are black and white; the white wool grows on white skin and and the black wool goes on black skin.

  3. When I hear the quote “Do it now Sometimes “later” becomes “never””, I agree with it 100%. It is talking about putting things off instead of doing them right away or little by little, AKA procrastination. Procrastination is a big struggle that I think a lot of my peers face. I know this because I often hear my classmates discuss how they just finished a project the night before it was due, or they did their math homework in homeroom instead of when they got home from school. For the most part, I don’t procrastinate, I take bites out of assignments little by little, and I think this is because I am a very organized person, and I have the ability to manage my time well. Most people who have a tendency to procrastinate, don’t realize that doing what they have to do all at once is just too much for them to handle, and they realize this when it happens. Don’t get me wrong, we all have a time in our lives when we just keep putting something off, and then have one of these reality checks. The thing that really stinks about them though is that no matter what you think, it’s nobody’s fault but ours.
    Luckily, I have learned from my mistakes, and tend not to do this anymore, but some people just let it go right over their heads. One of my experiences with this was last Halloween, actually. I let myself scramble to the day before and the day of a costume party I had when it came to finding and getting my costume. About a week prior to the party, I figured that I had to find out what I’d be. I knew it had to be something quick and easy, like a DIY, versus buying a costume for Halloween. I watched numerous “Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas” online and searched pintrest daily until I found the costume. Finally, I did after a couple days. I decided on being a “social butterfly” which was a t-shirt, leggings, wings and antennae, and social media icons tapped to my shirt.(BAHAHAHA) It might seem like I was ahead of the game, and it sure did for me, but I wasn’t. Unfortunately, I waited to the day before the party to get the paper I needed for the icons, and I was making the costume the night before. I found out the hard way that it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.
    Of course, I have put things off other times that weren’t as major, such as putting my clothes in the hamper until I got in trouble, and times that it was way worse, when it was for a school project. I haven’t had any major procrastination problems since the Halloween incident, luckily. I hope that as people get older, they are able to better understand how to learn from their mistakes, such as procrastination. My advice is when you are assigned something or given a task, write it down somewhere you will see, schedule how you're going to complete it and when, and stick to it. That is why I love the quote “Do it now Sometimes “Later” becomes “never””.

  4. The quote ,” Do it now. Sometimes ‘later’ becomes ‘never’ “ is very, VERY relatable! I am the biggest procrastinator ever! I have done whole projects in ONE night because of my extreme procrastination skill set! So the quote itself reminds me of a motivation speech by a guy named Shia Labeouf. If you don’t know the name, he is the kid from holes who “stole” those shoes. Well, he made a speech about a year and a half ago that was really popular. He made a speech saying that you can do anything and nothing is impossible. He said yesterday, becomes tomorrow, so JUST DO IT! It is basically this same quote,“shunning” procrastinators.You heard that, everyone in this G&T class is shunned. I know that at one point everyone is the class admitted to being procrastinators. Shame on us. But we still somehow got into G&T. Round of applause! Woooooo! So, when you think about this quote, it is basically saying that you don’t want to “procrastinate” by saying later. But eventually, later becomes never. So you shouldn’t procrastinate, but, it could help you complete the next level of this game you really want to play but you know you should be doing a G&T blog right now… “NO! I AM NOT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES NOW!” So, procrastination is a big problem in our society and we need to fix it! We should finish projects at least a week before they are due! (don’t quote me on that, I didn’t start the Wall of Fame project yet) We should rise up and take control of our actions! *Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan! Woooo!* I’m sorry. I got caught in the moment. I like speech fantasies :P. Oh, and for the record, I got an A on a timeline project that I stayed up until like 10:30 on because, well, PROCRASTINATION! I barely had any sleep, but got an A nevertheless! So that is why I like this quote so much!

    RANT TIME!

    So, Filip showed me a funny picture the other day of a girl in a Pac-man costume. ( It was one of those corny pictures that they use for like halloween magazines where she has like 1 foot in the air and in a pose. You get my point) And on the picture was some typing. It said, no matter how hard I try, I can’t waca waca way from the pain.(if you don’t know, Pac-Man makes a waca waca waca waca sound when it eats stuff. So waca way is translated into WALK AWAY.) It was really funny and I burst out into laughter on the bus. I have had it in my head ever since and it just makes me laugh. I also was told a funny joke by Filip this morning. Did you hear about the Italian Chef who died? He pasta way! Then I added, He’ll go down as a pizza history. Pasta la vista baby! It was also really funny! So that is 508 words!
    PEACE!

  5. Do it now. Sometime later becomes never. Yeah that sounds about right. Here is an amazing example for you. This. I kept telling myself, later I'll do it and here I am with like 3 hours till it is due. Is not that a wonderful thing to do! Everyone must be so so proud of me right now.
    To say the least, I can definitely apply that to my life. I often tell myself later I'll get to it. Like for another example, oh I'll post on Instagram tonight but I fall asleep whoops. Me posting NEVER happened. You often can forget about something when you put it off and never get back to it.
    I can kinda of apply this to people at like New Years resolutions. There like i'll start it later and never end up doing it anyway. There really was no reason to it. As weird as it sounds coming from me. Just do it! Don't put it off because honestly it then feels like so much more work. When you do something before it is due or over a long period of time you aren't as stressed and even though your actual assignment has not changed suddenly it becomes so much easier and less stressful.

    Random time: Last Saturday
    Last Saturday I enter the online lottery to go see On Your Feet on Broadway and I won! That night my mom and I took the train into the city and we got off and went to the theatre where the show was. We were early though and the Richard Roger where Hamilton plays was right next door and I know sometime the cast comes in near the start of a show. I met one of my internet friends named Bella and she was so nice and amazing. Then Elizabeth Judd who is an ensemble member in Hamilton came up to the stage door and signed Bella's ukulele and my phone case because I had nothing else because I didn't plan on stagedooring. Then my mom said we had to go pick up out tickets so I said good bye to Bella and her friend with her and we went next store to the Marquis Theatre which for your information is inside a hotel. We ended up sitting in the orchestra row T and having really good seats! She show was so great and I was so happy that Ana VillafaƱe was on that night and my friend that loves the show said I had the rest of the cast on and no understudies. The cast was so energetic and upbeat despite it was the second show of the day and there are kids in the cast one was a 6th grade girl, way too talented, who played Little Gloria, somehow not almost falling asleep, but how can you. It's Broadway. Not to mention I was super jealous of how talented Amaris was. (Little Gloria)
    The show was over and we headed out to go and see if we could catch a taxi to Penn Station to get back to the station faster but we couldn't and were ringing late so we were almost running down 7th Ave trying to be there by 11:07 only to get there at like 11:04 and see that out train was cancelled. Then we had to take a different one to a different station 7 minutes later and my dad and to come pick us up and we had to go set out other car from the Woodbridge train station. It was one of my favorite days yet this year! I also cannot waitron go back because I may see Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812 on spring break and I will see Hamilton on July 19! I love Manhattan. (Sorry not sorry Kacie.)

  6. Okay so this quote is basically my life. I procrastinate on EVERYTHING! I mean EVERYTHING! I am the biggest procrastinator on everything. Trust me when i say everything. Okay so back to the quote i think that it is totally correct. When i say later 90 days later i do it. But that is not never it's actually later. But i still procrastinate. This is me procrastinating right now. I am a huge procrastinator so this quote will help me stop that (I hope). Probably not but i could try. I am just trying to get this to at least 200 words and it's hard. I can't just go into the random stuff. But i will soon in one two three.
    RANDOM ZONE: ENTERING NOW
    So i tried to talk about the quote, but that i could not wrote. Now i'm trying rap, but i need a nap. I think that puppies are so cute and i want one of my own. I SAID WHO'S WITH ME! Only Kara gets that probably. It's from Liza Koshy. Now let's get back to the puppies. I want a female golden retriever named princess Buttercup (the princess bride). The princess bride is probably my favorite movie ever. I just love the action and the romance. When i watch it i feel so happy. The reason I want a puppy is for love and protection. I always want colt (my dog now) to come sleep on my bed with me. But he never comes. So I want a puppy to train to do that. See I'm a genius. So i saw Wicked in february and it was awesome our seats were so close to the stage and the actors were great. I wanted to get a sweatshirt but my mom wouldn't let me. Okay next topic. So when i fall asleep i watch good luck charlie to fall asleep. I get in my bed with 700 pillows and blankets and fall asleep to the voice of teddy duncan. My favorite episode was All Fall Down Part: 2. When Bob brought termites into the house and they escaped. I loved that part so much it was so funny. Teddy goes to Boston to visit Spencer and she gets in so much trouble. Gabe is trying to find a room so he moves into the attic. Amy is on T.V. finally, she had a dream of being on t.v. P.J dropped out of college. That is basicly the episode. Right now i am watching Doppel date. It is season 4 ep 2. its when P.J. goes to culinary school and Bob & gabe buy a couch. Why when i get to a number 99 i finish a sentence. Why can't i get an sentence to end on 100. It is so hard to even get 500 words maybe make it less like 400 words. That would be nice. You know what I am getting to 500 words and thinking that it's not hard. Omg I just realized I ended that on 500 words
