At my best

As I write this, it is the exact situation in which I work my best, under pressure.  I noticed this over my last semester of high school. When I would put off an assignment and do it at the last minute I would always do well on it, but when I did it well ahead of time I would find myself getting distracted and not working at my best.

Some of you that know this was supposed to be done a week ago, but I put it off, like everything else and was told I have until midnight tonight to finish it.  In saying that it made me notice another thing about me, I procrastinate way too much, which is one thing I hope to have fixed by the end of the year.

So now I really dont know what to talk about even though I have two more paragraphs to do, so I'll tell you a little about myself.  I grew up in Maquoketa, a small town in eastern Iowa.  My parents divorced when I was 12, which kind of shook me for awhile after I was told.  At that age, school came very easy to me so it was not affected much, but it would set up problems later on in life.

In more recent years it became a distraction in school always arguing with my dad, and hearing my mom argue with him.  Trying to make our schedules work with his just didn't happen.  He would get angry when I couldn't make it to see him, which also upset me.  This would lead to my grades slipping in school, and me barely sliding by in my classes.  This procrastination became a bad habit, which I still fight today.

That's all I have to say for now, and with one minute to spare I should post this.
