SAN FRANCISCO // part 2
i saw souvenir stuff everywhere proclaiming san francisco as 'the golden city' but when i googled it most everything came up sci-fi. hmm. i may have to ask a local to ever be sure. today, i am excelling at putting off homework and productive tasks.
i've learned that i am not self-motivated on a day-to-day basis. i would be lying if i said i was cut out for the work from home lifestyle. i'm so not. i'm too social. people motivate and inspire me. however, i do possess some fairly awesome long term self-motivation. i make plans in advance for my life. i'm pretty great at that, actually. and when the plans are right for me i carry them out like a rockstar.
but the day-to-day kills me. just hanging out in that cozy basement apartment, i have no motivation to do my homework or read. i am barely keeping up when i should be soaring ahead of everyone else. you know with the whole not working and just having all day to do homework thing. jared says i should just get some hardcore netflixing and thrifting done, which sounds fantastic. BUT I CAN'T. if i were to go to an actual classroom, i would have little trouble heading to the library, reading what i need to read, and doing all my homework. blasted online classes! never again, i swear, never again! bonus: i did get to sleep in until 10am today, though.
so last week and this week and the next couple weeks i will see portland from the coffee shops that offer free wifi (ahem, starbucks) because i have so much attention hogging homework and it's the one place that i manage to be a little bit productive. plus, the smell of coffee ain't bad.
there are parts 3 and 4 coming, too. sheesh. i know, i know. it's a lot of photos.

I am the same way. I have to plan out hours in my day so I can make sure to get stuff done because it's too easy for me to turn into a rotting vegetable on the couch.
mmmm...love your photos. i went on my honeymoon to SF and it had the perfect charm for a quick getaway. you captured it perfectly!!
I completely agree about the staying home stuff. I could never work from home or do online classes. I'm a very motivated person but NOT when I am in my bed all day. I need to see other people succeeding and working hard to make me work hard. I don't trust myself to get important things done if I'm just at home. As much as I hate them, I need some deadlines in my life.
I am adoring these pictures also. San Fran is so wonderfully whimsical.
