i am a procrastinator...
-i put absolutely everything off until the last minute, but would never even dream of turning in anything late, or being late for anything im supposed to be at.
-i am a junior nursing student and i absolutely love the profession i am getting into. i love taking care of people, working with people and learning about people. i love to think critically and problem solve.
-i was born in st.paul, but raised in madison wisconsin, so i am one of the hated badger fans that go to the university of minnesota. i enjoy sporting my red and white and talking trash, even if they lose.
**my family and friends mean the world to me and although i like to do things independently, i couldn't imagine life without any of them.
-football and hockey are my two favorite sports to watch and to play. (it has actually taken me 2 hours to write this because i have been glued to the play off games all afternoon!) i love watching everything else whether its NBA basketball or my little cousins soccer game. i enjoy being active whenever i can and love trying new things. my greatest accomplishment thus far is the sprint triathlon i did july '06. 1/3 mile swim, 15 mile bike and 3 mile run, i completed it all and had a decent time! can't wait to try again this summer!
-i love all four seasons and have things i look forward to in each. i love laying in the sun and playing in the water. i love raking up leaves and jumping in them on a cool fall day. snow is the greatest (now that we finally have some), who would pass up downhill skiing, sledding, snowball fights and building snow forts? definitely not i. then spring comes and the flowers start blooming and the leaves come back. the grass turns green and school is almost over.
-when im not working or at school i enjoy watching movies (of any genre), playing video games (preferably ones where i can just press buttons rather than knowing all the secret codes..) or just being outside. i love to cook and bake, im trying to learn to sew and i enjoy cleaning and doing laundry. (although its not until my apartment is a mess and my laundry is overflowing, that i actually do the last couple :) )
-so although i love to cook and bake, my favorite places to grab a bite to eat are definitely mcdonalds and taco bell. i could gobble up an entire pizza and have all necessary jimmy johns numbers in my phone. fast food is definitely a weakness and i would prefer salty french fries to ice cream or chocolate any day.
-music is something i couldn't go a day without. i listen to pretty much everything depending on who im with and what kind of mood im in. a few of my favorites are jimmy eat world, weezer, nickel creek, evanescence, anna nalick and dashboard confessionals.
-until a couple of years ago, the only reason i had a tv was to watch sports and occasionally the news. now thanks to grey's anatomy i am in front of my tv thursdays from 8-9pm. i am also a sucker for one tree hill and lately prison break....
-i love going on road trips even if its up to duluth or back home to madison. i am totally fine with driving myself as well...more time to sing ridiculous songs at the top of my lungs :)
-vacations are also fabulous and i wish i had more time and money to travel around and see the world. i love going out west to colorado or montana to ski in the mountains, or spending time under the sun in florida or hawaii :) skiing in british columbia canada was absolutely amazing and hope to go back in 2010 for the winter olympics (to watch obviously...) this summer i may study abroad and look forward to that opportunity to explore a different region of the world.
anyway, im gonna wrap this up. when i started i wasn't sure what to write but now i feel like i could type out my whole life story. as others have said, this class should be fun and i look forward to getting to know everyone else better!

One of the procrastination problems is getting late with what you do and you don't want that to happen so you cram. You rush things in doing your task and sometimes it turns out to be of poor quality or has poor results.
If you don't want those procrastination problems happen to you, you may start avoiding procrastination . It would lighten up the burden of cramming things up you have to beat a deadline.

Its good that you love the profession you are in because it will make you more effective in doing the job. Working with people needs a lot of communication skills. Especially in your profession where you have to be accurate with the information you take and pass on with regards to your patients.
In taking care of people, its not only that you take care of their physical health but emotional as well. You need to show them that you really care for them. You need to communicate your concern and sympathy to them as a support.
