I recently found out that I got accepted to the university I wanted to go to and now I have to fill out a bunch for forms and stuff (yuck). And so I decided to do that this afternoon and as I am working on them I realize that I get distracted really really easily. So this is a list of ten things (in no particular order) that have distracted me from filling out my forms in the last hour alone.
1. Facebook. having to fill out and submit forms online is not the best idea to begin with. But for someone like me who gets really distracted its the worst possible thing. I realized that I log on, see what is new, if anything, and then log off again only to do it an hour later again.
2. Reddit. This is probably the worst because it changes all the time. And so I can go on, check a few pages, fill out a few things and then ten minutes later go on again and its all new.
3. Cat. Never mind the fact that he generally gets ignored, when filling out things the cat is the best distraction.
4. Narwhals and Beaver Tails. I hate to say it, but right now I have two tabs open, one of them is a thing I need to read. The other is my residence application.
5. My blackberry. Stupid phone with awesome games.
6. Dinner. This one kind of doesn't count, but it did take me away from filling out my forms so I am going to keep it here.
7. Errands. Any time anyone mentions going somewhere I jump at the chance to stop filling out forms. At this point I think I would even jump at the chance to go to Telkwa...things are bad.
8. Apples. I think I have had four in the last hour alone. I have to get up to get one. I can't eat at the computer. And then I have to throw them out. Depending on how fast I eat them I could get almost 5 minutes of not filling out applications.
9. Sister. It is amazing how many excuses I can find to talk to my sister in order not to fill out forms.
10. Plant fundraiser. This is for my band trip (so let me know if you want to order some) and admittedly I haven't done this yet, but I am going to call some family people as soon as I am done this to beg them to support me....and not have to do form filling out.
So there you have it. YouTube could also be included, because I do keep changing the song I am listening (the only way to fill out forms is to listen to country. The Band Perry and Sugarland are preferable).
