thou shall PMS no more!

No longer PMS-ing, because it's here! which means there is a 50% chance i'd be doing the sprint event this weekend. I never learned how to use a tampon, and i ain't gonna start now. *right, too much information*. I'll just do the relay the next day, cycling and running. =)

a miracle happened this semester. i've always been a procrastinator, and in the past my procrastination (though i claim it to be a skill i've mastered), have left me with many "if onlys". i had been fairly satisfied with my results in the past but there was a tiny spot in the back of my head which seem to dwell on the fact that i could have done better and i know it. anywhos, this year was no different. i had a presentation due Tuesday morning and i was once again leaving everything to the eleventh hour. I was done with the presentation in under 2 hours and was pretty prepared to present it the next day.

the following morning, other groups presented first and as i watched their presentation i couldn't help but feel how inadequate our presentation was. i squirmed in my seat, wishing and praying that the time will run out and we would be forced to present on Thursday instead. Lucky for us, the Q&A for the other groups went on pretty long and we were granted a second chance to present on Thursday.

why i call it a second chance is because for the first time ever, i could erase all my "if onlys" and "should haves". i had the privilege of seeing my own flaws in the other groups' presentations, spotting the topics i lack and those that are redundant. and so, grabbing the opportunity, i have restructured my presentation, added in all the essentials, removed all the unnecessaties and for my own self esteem's benefit, threw in a few gimmicks.

and for the first time ever, i am anxious to present tomorrow. i actually can't wait.

fellow procrastinators, it is not too late to change. =)
