Cranking this out minutes before its due, life of a procrastinator. Sometimes in the race life catches to up to me, sometimes I’m far ahead, sometimes I can taste the trail of dust I’m being left in and I know to take some sort of action. That’s when pressurized split second decisions make their best impact on me. I stand before all you sleepy distracted college students here today talking like the rest of us, about some experience, some thoughts, that make up out sort of clean version status update in life.
Hello world, my name is Azam Ali Khan and I am a traditional Indian musician who plays an instrument called the tabla, a drum played with your hands. I am a college student right now who wants to major in quote business, although whether that’s international studies, marketing, economics, or flyer distributing i have no damn idea. Funny, it feels like I sometimes live in multiple worlds, and now I’m here just to make a bridge stronger.
Even though I have a morning class, I still insist on waking up even earlier to practice music before I leave my house. Even though I have morning classes I’m still doing homework at the last minute, right before I sleep. I’m in college so I can get a job with a piece of paper I leave here with if I ever need to, but I’m still perusing a music career, but I’m also in college because our society has made this amazing city institution I can attend to do some paperwork and grow a little as a person out of it while having it still be affordable for my pocket. I don’t know if I’m destined for success, I’m not even sure if destiny is a real thing – whatever the path is I’m sure I’ll be just on time and improvise on the spot, something which as a musician Ive been forced to do on stage many times. Being put in situations like that makes you act, split second decisions and last minute preparations are the bane of a procrastinators existence.
As I look on ratemyprofessor for easy, fun, and hopefully attractive teachers and apply for my classes next semester, I have no idea whats going to happen and what I’m going to be able to get into. No clue where my music career will take me but I hope it makes me travel. No idea what my major will be but last minute decisions in Sophomore year await me. At least college has given my enough of a lesson that I’m doing some planning work and not standing in front of you all with a blank sheet of paper making all of this up, although it may sound like it, trust me I wrote this beforehand, seriously I did. How my late night last minute thoughts will play out with me reading this to you all today I have no idea, but I hope you all enjoyed this last minute mandatory status update.
