I wish I had never learned the word and even spell it when I was in second grade. In second grade, my teacher Ms. Sanders (my favorite teacher in the whole wide world) @ President Ave. School in Harbor City decided that it was important to teach us 2 words. Not just any 2 words but Procrastination and Idiosyncrasy. O.K. you are 8 years old and these two huge words come into view, forget 1+1 and making paper mache' whatever, we are talking about a monumental change in one little 8 year old (who at the time was taking a full load since I had to tackle special ed classes as well. Yes I know short bus . . ha ha . . . whatever. That is a blog for another day that I will probably procrastinate about) We not only had to learn the definition but spell it too over and over again.
Procrastination means to put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness.
To postpone or delay needlessly. And Idiosyncrasy means:
A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.
A physiological or temperamental peculiarity.
An unusual individual reaction to food or a drug
Thank you dictionary.com
But the word I want to talk about is Procrastination. I wish I never learned it because if I never knew the meaning I would not be one. To be continued . . .
