I'm the slackiest of slackers you guys. That's today's confession. It's been many, MANY years since I've been in school. But way back when I was a student, I was very good about turning my assignments in on time. I might stay up all night getting them done. But get them done I did. Fast forward to now, when I'm an old woman in a book club. I seem to have lost my ability to pull the all nighter. We have our meeting tonight to discuss the book we were supposed to read for October: A Man Called Ove
I was actually excited to read the book. It's about a grumpy old man (who isn't actually very old). Unfortunately, I procrastinated so long, I didn't manage to get it read. Not only that, I'm not even close to halfway through. It's a good thing book club doesn't go on my permanent record. While I realize it's going to be spoiled for me this evening when we start discussing it, I still plan to finish it. It's pretty entertaining so far, and I imagine it will only get better. Next month, I'm definitely going to make a little more effort to finish my homework!
Have you ever failed to complete an assignment? Or shown up to book club without having read the book?
I'm just impressed that you have time to be part of a book club! 😂 I just read the book synopsis, it looks pretty interesting! I might have to pick up a copy.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too impressed, I've only made it to two meetings so far!
DeleteI'm a HUGE procrastinator. Always was and still am, haha
ReplyDeleteDitto! I like to think I just work best under pressure....
DeleteSounds like a good book! I debated starting a book club with my friends but eventually decided not to. I can't read anything that doesn't "grab" me right off the bat, and some of them like very drrrrry authors. You'll get the next book done on time I bet ;)
ReplyDeleteIt started a bit slow, but I'm getting into it! I always have this need to finish books, even if they're terrible.
DeleteI have shown up to my book club without having read the book a few times, but most of the time I do finish it. I sometimes have to stay up late the night before or finish the book at work, because I am a huge procrastinator, but I usually get it done.
