Getting by Doing the Least Amount of Work

I've always had goals, but I've never really had to work hard at anything. In high school, I was perfectly happy to be 3rd chair french horn in band. I wanted to practice just enough to be able to stay in the band, and go on band trips (woo hoo Virginia Beach 1987!). I managed to get by in school as well, graduating 11th in my class (a mere 1/10th of a point away from the top 10). But then when I went to college, I found myself struggling to even get B's much less C's. I ended up graduating Magna Thank Lordy.

Now that I am back taking a class, I have realized that I don't really enjoy being a student. Homework blows. I would rather sit with gassy dogs on my lap all night after they had eaten rotten squash out of the mulch pile than sit through another 3 hour lecture. This after only two classes. And here I am five hours away from my next class and I still have 20 pages of reading to do. Instead of doing it, here I am writing you. There's no "awwww that's cute", it's I would rather write about nothing that go read this text.

I am lazy. I can focus and be task oriented, but for the most part I am so so lazy. If you stood in my front yard and viewed me through the blinds, you would see that starting in autumn all I do everynight is stay in. (AUTHOR NOTE: This is not an invitation for stalkers.) As the trees are changing and the weather is getting cooler, all I want to do is bake, sit on the couch, and watch entire seasons of television shows. I can feel it coming....
