Procrastination

I feel like I procrastinate my blog posts more and more these days. Ever since I was a kid I have always procrastinated things as long as possible. Whether it be school projects, homework or anything that had a deadline, I was pretty good about waiting until the last minute before putting any effort into it. Somehow I was still able to get by with decent grades (for the most part, lol chemistryaments) and when I finished high school in the States I even graduated with honors thanks to classes like Advanced German or Radio & TV. Maybe getting by so easy taught me a wrong life lesson, that too much can be achieved with minimal effort.

Someone asked me what my typical day looks like so here it goes. Depending on the day, I'll wake up sometime between 10am - 1pm. I'll then take a shower and then usually go downstairs to the local coffee shop for breakfast that is conveniently located only a few seconds away from my apartment. After breakfast I load up my computer and catch up on news/emails/etc and then I'll play poker for a couple hours in the afternoon. Lunch/dinner varies every day (I won't quit really good games for dinner) but my roommates usually help me out with this if they see I can't get away from the PC. Having cool roommates is awesome.

We have guests over pretty much every evening so my nights consist of either movie nights, playing Fifa10 (and crushing), playing poker or just socializing about all kinds of random stuff. I usually call it a night sometime between 1am-3am and sneak in an episode or two of whatever series I'm watching (right now it's 24, season 5). Tuesday and Thursday evenings I have soccer practice, every Sunday morning I have a soccer game. I probably play poker 5-6 days a week, though I do take a few days off every once in a while when I am low on motivation.

My daily routine is actually quite predictable when I'm home but that's something that I enjoy. Some may think it's boring but I get plenty of variety when I am traveling. Speaking of which, we managed to get the same mini castles for the 2010 WSOP locked up. This'll be the first year that we return to familiar properties but seeing as they were pretty much ideal for the size of our group, I'm really stoked that we got them back. Having the World Cup and the WSOP at the same time is going to make for a memorable summer indeed!
