<p>Don't Procrastinate tomorrow what you can procrastinate today!</p>

<p>I started preparation for SATII less then 3 weeks in advance.
I took the SATII on Nov 6. 800mIIC, 800phys, 710v.
I played computer games for another week or so.
Studied almost 3 weks for SAT. stayed up untill 2-3AM making word cards.Took the SAT Dec 6 -last possible date. (800m/730v I completely F####d up a reading section). Need i say i registered for the SAT on the last possible day and thus i had to take the SAT on the other side of Romania?</p>

<p>I procrastined to such a degree that i renounced applying to Stanford because i would have had to apply by Dec 15</p>

<p>I got my transcript on the last day of school. I went to teachers for recomendations on the second day of Christmas. On the 28th of Dec i started doing my essays and completing my 6 applications. I slept only 3 hours in 72 hours (first time i drank coffee in my life). Finished my second Caltech essay on the morning of 31st. 8 Am on the 31st i mailed everyhting.... partied on New Years eve, then slept for 3 days... </p>

<p>I have a final exam at Romanian Literature tomorrow and i have to learn pretty much every important author and trend in Romanian Poetry. It's 11 PM and i'm probably gonna go to sleep right now, and learn tomorrow morning, cuz i'm sleepy after a day of doing nothing but procrastinating....</p>

<p>Guess this will have to change at Princeton....</p>

<p>I'm taking 5 AP classes with a full 7 class schedule and i haven't opened my backpack at home in literally about six weeks. I do all of my homework in my other classes and by all of my homework i mean i never do my calculus or physics and usually not government or comp. sci. Most of the teachers like me though so it's easy to get away with. I procrastinate on everything, job applications weeks late, did my college essays and apps the night they were due, didn't proofread or even look at it after they were written.</p>

<p>Yup.... i over procrastinated learning for the Literature Exam and ended up learning almost nothing. Learning about poetry is harder then i thought.... Sometimes too much procrastinating can have negative effects.
