Monologue

Everyone has been in this position. Knowing you have a writing assignment due the next day,but absolutely absent-minded on what to write about. Is it just me or whenever you have an assignment to do everything else becomes so intriguing? I find my cat licking the milk so fascinating. Now I don’t usually procrastinate like this. I tried to do it before, it was just not working out for me. Whenever I actually had time to do my work, I wasted it. I tell my self okay, I’ll get started. I quickly check the time and it’s 8:36. I figured may as well finish watching my YouTube videos until 9 then get started. Before you know it, it was 9:06. As you can tell, it pretty much becomes a routine. My sister asks me what I have to write about. When I reply to her, “anything” she looks at me with a puzzled face. The thing is, everything seems reversed. You can have the shortest prompt to write about and it would be the hardest assignment. Why is it that when we have such a specific question we know what to write, yet the other way around we’ll go crazy. The monologue. Everyone talked about how “easy” it would be, yet we’ve all been fooled and are cramming it the day before it’s due.
