Blissful Ignorance

Oh and say hello to Trowa for me.....

Yeah Trowa not home in his advice column.

Gosh! I can't imagine Heero having braces!!!

I remember him telling us about that.

Dislocated from the knee. Hurt like hell, but easily fixed.

Your knee? eek. hey was that the same leg Duo shot? I can't remember.

I have a question! *Waves hand* This year, I'm getting tons and tons of homework. (Teachers just love those essays, don't they? @.@) The problem? I'm a horrible procrastinator. Absolutely atrocious. ^_^;; I'll save a week-long project for the night before it's due, or, worst-case scenario, wake up early the next day and do it that morning. ^_^;;;; This has never really hurt my grades in the past, but this year, due to the sheer volume of work I have, my procrastination is definately a problem. Do you have any hints or problem-solving techniques I could use to overcome this? And don't say "just get to work." @.@ I'll take three days to come back and tell you that didn't succeed. *Sheepish look*

*waves hand* oh! oh! me too! now that I'm in college, I totally need the procrastination advice!

sorry about that Trowa comment.

and Heero, you still haven't told us your story (just reminding....)!!!

Here's a few suggestions I can make...

1. For writing assignments, do a quick 'download' of your ideas every day. Write down what you would like to write about, and what you think about it. As you go, start grouping the ideas, and put in text support. If you do it bit by bit, you'll find it less overwhelming, and possibly more fun. Don't worry about grammar or even making sense at first! Just get down all your ideas and then build from them. Once you have your argument down, then start making complete sentences and tightening up your concepts.

2. Figure out what bothers you more.. having one big assignment or several small ones, and plan accordingly. Do a small assignment, or part of a bigger one, and then take a short break. Reward yourself. Continue until done.

3. Join a SERIOUS study group (Don't just invite your friends over). You'll be more prone to focus on work if someone is right there making you focus on work.

4. Keep a list of what you want to get done, and check off things as you go. Many people find this helps them stay focused on assignments.

5. Find out what distracts you and avoid it. Too distracted by your gaming system in your room? Study at the library.

6. Find out when you have the most energy to work on things. Are you a morning person? if so, try to do more of the difficult things in the morning. Evening more your speed? Then do it that way.

Hope these help.
And hopefully Heero-kun will reward us with a story soon.

Ai Just on my Love kono te de
omae o mamoritai
hontou no otoko o shitterukai
horeteru onna ni yowai no sa

Love, just on my love, with these hands
I want to protect you
Do you know what a true man is?
They are weak for women they love.

I know what works for me in school. My roomie, and another friend have the same problem as me, so we made an agreement. We set limits (no toons till paper done, etc.) and the other two hold us to it. For example, my roomie holds my anime hostage till my lab work is finished. Make sure the people you do this with are people you can trust to hold you to your limits.

<b>Caliborn</b>, I have the exact same problem. I always go online and then its 11 o'clock and I haven't done a single piece of homework.

However, I find that starting the second I get back from school helps. And if I don't, then I leave papers around my house reading "DO YOUR HOMEWORK!" and then the guilt gets to me and I end up doing it. *sigh* But this only works if you're a push-over like me...

Dear Heero, just a quick question for this marvelous advice column, how do you prefer you peanut butter, crunchy or smooth?

[groan] Oh c'mon Heero! How long will you make us wait for Sasu story??? [/groan]

Also, I have an important question.

Heero, my Sword Master, I need advice.

When I don't have shinai with me (because i.e. I'm in school or other place), what exercise should I do if I want to increase speed of my wrists???

It's really important for me All kendo warriors have incredibly fast wrists...

Hey people! Please help me! I need this for school! Can any of you recommend an instrumental from the Chrono Cross or FFVIII soundtrack that has a creepy sound to it? NEED HELP!!!

I'm a procrastinator as well, but I try and prioritize my assignments first, then drown in fics and anime ^^. It's a nice reward from school prison.
