This is a spiced story of my experience yesterday


-For the "gurus" who will be reading this, spare me my
grammatical errors/blunders. I'll like to seek shelter under the fact
that; "I'm not a professional writer". You please just get my
message. (since I'm not writing to display grammatical prowess).

THE SUBTILITY OF PROCASTINATION
Rolling from one side of my bed to the other, I was hoping to
catch some sleep. Hey! Its almost 7am someone might have told
me. Anyway, I don't care. "we're on break, I'd better get as much
sleep as I wish to before returning to FUT (Fraustration Under
Tension), as many students are found of jokingly interpreting the
acronym, perhaps due to the stressful nature of Nigerian
Universities.
As I was still in my semi-sleepy mood, some... (what I don't know
how to describe yet), turned my mind into playground. I shut my
eyes, imagining a lot of... (what I don't know how to describe for
now). I would have concluded I was in the dreamland but for a
mosquito bite that jolted me back to reality. Closing back my eyes,
I found out what had been playing on my mind happened to be
solutions to some vital issues.
I determined to write two different articles based on those points I
got from my "apparent sleep", and share them with my pals.
Still in this mood, I fell asleep, only to open my eyes and beheld, it
was about 10am or so. I shifted, stretched and yawned. Lying on a
desk close to my bed are few books where I wrote both "rubbish"
and my "cherished notes and articles", and a pen. I made for the
desk to get my points written down and the two articles also. But
then, it occured to me: "I've not eaten this morning, I've not even
brushed my teeth". Then, I made for the door to go about the
day's business, and write some other time, perhaps before I sleep
in the night.
Settling down to write at the cool of the day, I was transfixed to
discover... I WENT BLANK. With virtually all my points gone, and
the few points I remembered are also fading away in the mist. Oh!
short term memory? UNBELIEVABLE!!! How could this be? Millions
of questions rushed through my mind in a microsecond. I fought
back tears, not wanting my books to be marred with with it.
Looked childish? Believe me, if I'm to go on with those articles
without those points evenly itemized, they are bound to end up in
the trash bin.
OH PROCRASTINATION! I started today after sleeping late last
night happy and elated, now will I wet my pillow with tears after
all-day-long happiness ?
OH PROCRASTINATION!
COULD YOU BE THIS CRUEL?
