The Egg and Eye

So, the first day of class we were all given eggs. We were to decide to do whatever we wanted with our egg, and my mind wandered along the many things I wanted to do with this little egg. First I had to figure out how I was going to carry this egg home without breaking it. I held it in my hand the whole time after class waiting for my ride to pick me up. I had too many ideas of what I wanted to do with this little egg. When I got home, I placed the egg in a desk drawer and forgot about it. I forgot about the egg on purpose because I had too many ideas going at once, and needed to take a breath from the chaos in my head. Throughout the week I did have miner thoughts of which idea I wanted to pursue for this little egg setting inside my desk drawer. I finally decided that I will go about using this little egg to describe how good I am at holding off on things, such as assignments with deadlines, until the last minute, thus procrastinating. My goal is to write "procrastination" on the egg then break the egg in class to signify that I will no longer procrastinate any future assignments or projects. Procrastination is one of those habits that are hard to break. Every time I look at this little egg, I keep seeing how cute it is because it's so little and fragile, which for me, makes it kind of hard to want to break the egg. Since I have written the word "procrastination" on the egg, the egg is not as cute as it once was, and I feel I have more control over the feeling of wanting to procrastinate. When I broke the egg in class, I felt like I was breaking the control that the urge to procrastinate had on me. It is stressful when one waits until the last minute to work on something on its deadline. The rush and strain and the "is this perfect" or "is this good enough" aspect really takes over and makes one's anxiety run high. After breaking the egg, I have a lot of relief, and have faith that procrastinating will be something of the past, so I will no longer go through the stresses of trying to get something, such as an assignment, started and finished on the day that it is due.
