My Writing Process

My writing process would definitely involve procrastination to the maximum. If I am given the paper to write on Monday, and it's due the following Monday, you will most likely see me writing the paper Sunday night. I have all the time to write it, it's just basically just me not in the mood to write the paper. I'll always get my work done no matter what, but I just don't like doing my work early. Their has been plenty of times where I will try to finish it early. The problem is that when I get stuck writing i'll immediately think in my head that I have a couple of days to finish it. Then I will just put all my writing away, and just wait until I feel like writing again. I get distracted very easily because of my phone, tv, music, etc. If I get a phone call or a text message, i'll just ignore the paper. I love watching sports, so if the game is on tv you won't see me anywhere except in the living room watching the game. Writing assignments are important to me it's just why do it early when I can do it at the very last second. Their is no motivation to finish it at the beginning, for me their tends to be more towards the very end, mainly because its either you finish it, or you get a zero on the paper. For example, the first blog was due Friday or early Saturday morning. I didn't end up doing the paper until 3 o'clock in the morning. Lol. It's a bad habit that I don't like, but its just something that i'll most likely never be able to break!

How do you use technology in your world?

Now in the 20th century, technology can be used in many different ways. Personally, the technology that I use is my cell phone, Ipod, computer, television, and Xbox 360. Pretty much you can always find me using my cell phone mainly because I'm always texting my buddies & girlfriend. I workout during the week to keep in shape for the fire academy, so I'm always jamming out to my Ipod. Usually when i'm at my house I'm always on the computer. Most of the time I'm on myspace talking to friends, and keep in contact with people that I hardly ever see in person. On the internet you can find out so much information about pretty much anything you want, so that is why i love getting on the computer. Also the television is another technology that I use in my world. I have satellite so I have like 600 channels, but other than the cell phone & computer, this would be the other technology that I use the most. I love to watch sports channels, and thats what the television is most likely on. Finally the last technology that I use is my xbox 360, i usually just play NCAA football, but it is the least technology I use out of the ones that i listed. The cell phone, ipod, computer, television, and Xbox 360 are definitely how I use technology in my world, and without them i have no idea what i would do!
