I am currently in college and have a large problem with leaving things to the last minute and even then not always really doing them. I guess I'm looking for some techniques to help get my mind ready to work. I've tried listening to music, but I end up becoming really focused on what songs I should listen to and not my work. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Well here it is
How the Beaver became a symbol of Canada


It all started when Miss.Hamton (wife of Mrs. John A. MacDonald) was picking her carrots from her garden, Then she saw a little rabbit come to the carrots. Oh no! She Thought. “Go away! Skat! Leave now!” she yelled. Then she suddenly saw some more rabbit’s…and more, until 1000 rabbit’s came. “NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” She yelled, and ran into her house.

Right away she quickly phoned the “Super Beavers” and called them to come right away. When the beavers got there, one suddenly came out of the truck. “Are you the only beaver?” Miss. Hamton asked. “YEPeroonie” the beaver said. “You only?!?!” Miss. H. asked. “Yes, the only beaver. My name is Beaver. And Oh yes, what’s the problem?”

A few minutes later, Beaver got to work on Miss. Hamtons problem. “Oh, yes, I know what to do, I will make a machine that will scare the rabbits away!” Beaver said. So he went into his truck to grab some parts, and then started to build. A few minutes later he finished his wooden invention. It looked big, it had a whole bunch of metal in it too, and with a seat to sit in well controlling it. So Beaver brought it outside to test it. “Here I go” he said to Miss Hamton. He tested it and and and!!!……. It didn’t work! It didn’t even budge! “Noooooooo!!” Beaver yelled.

An hour late, Beaver decided to fix it. So, he got to work again. He added new parts and even asked for parts that Miss. Hamton kept in her garage. A few minutes later, Beaver took the machine outside. He brung it over to the garden where the carrots were planted. Beaver sat in the machine, then turned it on, and and and… It makes a loud noise that was very painful to there ears, even the hole town could hear it! People where yelling things like “ Turn down the volume on the Television! Will ya?!! Aaaaahhh!!!! Miss. Hamton and Beaver yelled. The rabbits started to run away as fast as they could. “Yes!! You did it!!” Miss Hamton yelled to beaver. “WAHOO!!!” Beaver yelled.

After Beaver put everything away, Miss. Hamton came up to Beaver for his reward. “Thank you so very much Beaver! Your reward is that I am going to make you a symbol of Canada! I just have to call John.” She told him. So she called him, and Beaver left with happiness.

That is how the Beaver became a symbol of Canada.
