My Experience with Procrastination

My Experience with Procrastination 

Procrastination has been something that I have always struggled with. When I procrastinate, I often get a bothering feeling that reminds me that I am supposed to be doing something else instead. Even though I was enjoying my time doing something completely unrelated to my work, I keep getting a pressuring feeling that I have work to do and that am wasting more and more time. Although I do procrastinate a lot, I try to get focused on my work but, it obviously takes time. It is one of the areas that I am trying to improve in, especially that I am transitioning into a high schooler soon.

My Summer Break 2016

My Summer Break:

Over the break, I went back home to India. I was really happy to meet all my family and all my friends. I had a good trip and made many memories that I will remember.

I ran down to meet my friends as soon as I reached home on the first day. When I had told them I was coming a couple months ago and they were really happy. The moment I made eye contact with them, they rushed to hug me.They treated me normally, which was good. I was just afraid of some kind of rivalry between us since I hadn't seen them in years. I was talking to my friend (the one in the picture) on Gmail, But, we couldn't keep up because of our different timings and schoolwork that kept us busy. I was so happy to see them. We started talking right away.We enjoyed and laughed together and would not stop till almost ten o'clock in the night! We also had a small pizza party in my house. We had a blast and I will miss them! It was really hard saying goodbye, I think I cried.

A couple weeks later, my aunt asked my family if we would like to go to a hill station (Mahabaleshwar) with her. I was getting bored just doing nothing at home, so I decided to go. I was really excited to go cause I had never been there before and A couple weeks later, my aunt asked my family if we would like to go to a hill station (Mahabaleshwar) with her. I was getting bored just doing nothing at home, so I decided to go. I was really excited to go cause I had never been there before and cause I love cold weather. We were going with two other kids. Unfortunately, one of them couldn't make it cause he was sick.It was a long drive up the mountains, and it was getting colder and colder as we made our way to the house. Luckily, I could bear it. The best part about this trip was that we were so high up in the mountains, that clouds were actually passing through our house from room to room!

This was just before we took off(Original photo)

School was starting in a couple of days so, it was time to come back to Thailand. Everything was going smooth, till there was a message from the flight assistant. "So,we are having so technical difficulties with the airplane. We are calling some people to work on it so, hopefully we will be able to take off in 20-30 minutes." I was terrified. As the plane was taking off, my brother and I were looking at each other just hoping that we wouldn't die.I quickly grabbed his arm and hugged him. I shut my eyes close and started to pray. The moment I felt myself in the air, I opened my and looked over at my mom. She smiled at me. I looked out the window and saw clouds. I was still nervous so I quickly plugged my headphones in and started to watch a movie. That got me distracted for the flight. I was just happy I survived and that everything was fine in the end!
