Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. - Julius Renard

I'm lazy. What? Like you're not lazy sometimes too? We all do it, it's life. But, why does the word "lazy" have such a negative connotation? I mean, it's not like it affects anyone else - just me. I mean, I just like to sit there on my computer for as long as possible before going up and doing something or going somewhere. I think that we all do it to an extent. Psht, you think you're all high and mighty.


Anyway, I'm really trying to curve this nasty habit. So I've been doing a bunch of different things to try to make my life and summer more meaningful.

For one, I try to get out of the house. I go to work every day from 9-5 (though sometimes there's nothing for me to do because I'm the Intern, so I go online), I also hang out with friends, and I'm going to Orientation and some Leadership Seminars next week! Yippee.

Two. I try to do new things that are productive. For example, I started this blog - and I feel like its productive, even if it doesn't get thousands of views. Hey, I'm thankful that someone other then myself is reading! I'm also trying to watch more movies and read more books, so I can expand my mind and widen my horizons. Not to mention, I'm trying to get back into arts such as painting. Oh, and I'm writing a novel with my friend. And it's not crap like most of those books you hear about, it's actually pretty good and I'm a book snob.

Three. I'm trying to keep track of my finances. My mom says that "I have a hole in my pocket." So I'm trying not to eat out anymore, hopefully that will always cut all the "crap I eat."

Four. I'm trying to exercise more. I went to the gym today, score. I haven't gone in ages. My mom's probably about to kill me after she's been paying for the membership for so long. Anyways, it felt good to sweat and then shower it away. Even if I only did the elliptical for thirty minutes. Hey, you have to start somewhere.

Anyway, I hope that this summer (by far the most tone-downed and relaxing) will be remembered for all the leisure time I had, and all the productive things I've done. Not to mention all the college stuff I've been getting together! This is the first time since elementary school that I'm actually excited for classes to begin!

What do you do to curve your laziness?
