Procrastibloggin' We Go

This year I am embarking on (yet another) year of study.

If my previous 5 years of tertiary education have taught me anything, it's that I do love to procrastinate. But also that occassionally this procrastination turns into an odd form of productivity. Sure, I may not get what I should get done, but I get something done. Often many things, in fact.

So I'm starting another blog.

I'm inspired presently by the fabulous/dangerous invention of Pinterest. I absolutely love the amazing things you can find on there - I have had so many moments of "HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT?!" it is astounding.

So part of my vague plan for "Procrastiblogging" is to do some of the things I find on Pinterest. For me, that is mostly crafty things (Procrasticrafting), cooking things (Procrasticooking, or more commonly Procrastibaking), and organising things (Procrastinising - may need to work on this verb).

A bit of background though:

I am a 26 year old Amanda (I use this as a noun, as there are so many Amanda's out there we basically count as a noun of our own). I live with my Husband (he also gets a capital, because I like him), and our Cat - Winston (fully: Winston Churchmiao, or more fully: Winston Jasper Wells-Woidt Churchmiao).

I like the colour red very much. I like to knit (I'm a pro at scarves and blankets, but nervous to try anything more complicated - cue Procrasticrafting), bake, learn about curious things, watch murder shows (there will be no Procrasticrime) and research family history. 

This year I am doing a one year Postgraduate Diploma in Humanities, studying History (for the most part) in order to get a second teaching area to do a Post Grad Diploma in Education next year (fingers crossed). Apparently I did too many social science subjects in my previous degrees, so here I am again! I could pretend that this bothers me, but I will let you in on a not-so-well-hidden secret: I love to study. I'm a study freak. 

So that sums it up. I'm hopeful that this blog will help - what's the word? - channel or guide my procrastinating to more productive pursuits.

Hope + procrastination + pinterest = what could go wrong?
