I am a very disorganized person. I always have been, but for one day, for
some reason i have yet to discover, I knew how to do it, I knew how to be
organized. In everything, not just school. I knew how to schedule my
different activities, get all of my homework done early, not lose my
papers, get up ontime, and not be late to everything.
It all started this one morning after I had a particularly bad fight with my parents. I had
worked on a project all night on the previous day (because i
procrastinated and didn't do it earlier in the week) but then once i got
to school I realized that I left it at home on my kitchen table. My
parents weren't too happy about that. So, after being chastised and
ridiculed for 30 minutes I went to bed and had a much needed sleep.
Beep...Beep....Beep....Beep! My alarm went off and instead of just
shutting it off and rolling over, i actually got up. For once, I had a
quick shower and got downstairs right away. With my clothes laid out the
night before, it was easy. This was the best morning i'd ever had. There
was even time for a real breakfast. After getting my back pack which was
conveniently left at the door. I had a feeling it was gonna be a good day.
When I opened my back back during my first period class which i was ontime
to, I noticed something very weird. All of my papers were organized! They
were all in folders, not torn up,l flopping out of my notebooks, and they
were even dated. I had no trouble finding my homework (which I did the
night before, not in school the next day), or even taking notes, which i
really detest. During that day I had one free period and instead of just
napping, or procrastinating, I got an early start on my homework because I
had wrestling that day, and didn't want to have too much work at home.
After wrestling, because most of my homework was done, i was able to
practice for my music lesson, which is something that I hardly get to do
during the week unless I just don't do my homework. After practice, I
finished up my homework, had a nice family dinner, and went to bed at
9:30. After thinking about my great day and reading till 10 I went to bed,
and for the first time since summer, got an 8 hour+ sleep on a weeknight.
Beep...Beep....Beep....Beep! My alarm went off and I shut it off and
rolled over for an extra 15 minutes. After a long, tired shower, I missed
the bus, my breakfast and was late for school. On top of all that, I
forgot my sports bag. I was back to my usual disorganized self. I was
probably going to fall asleep in class, barely, if at all do my homework,
and then miss the homework for the next day. But, what if just a little
bit of my one good day stuck with me? What if I took the extra time, and
effort, and actually got my life organized? What if tomorrow was
different? So far it hasn't been but maybe one day, if I really try, it
will be.
