So. Procrastination.

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Does anyone else suffer from this disease? Throughout my entire life, procrastination has stopped me at every single turn, to the point where I can't even recall the last time I finished something with 5 minutes to spare. Now I sit here, with 2 tests I didn't study for, a research paper due in about 26 hours that I have barely scraped the surface of, and a ridiculous take home test I don't even understand. Yet, I still can't bring myself to start working hard and I know that as every second winds down, I'm that much closer to slamming face first into a brick wall of failure.</p>

<p>Eh, I'll finish this later..</p>

<p>I put the "tina" in procrastination.</p>

<p>I imagine procrastination to be like putting marbles through a funnel - if you only have a few marbles, then they go through fine. But if you have a bunch of marbles, then the marbles stop flowing through the funnel. If you have a bunch of stuff to do, you have less of a tendency to do it. If anyone understood that.</p>

<p>ooooh, thats deep.</p>

<p>i get it.</p>

<p>I have this really funny thing with procrastination. When I'm given some sort of task or assignment, I either want to do it right away or put it off to the last possible minute.</p>

<p>I think it's because things put off till the last minute start seeming like "obligations." And I don't like obligations.</p>

6

<p>Yeah, for instance. I have had a month to do this 8-page paper due tomorrow for English and I haven't even started it. That's just one of many.</p>

7

<p>I have an AP chem, an AP bio, and a cumulative math test tomorow, all of which I haven't started studying for. As well as a spanish project due, which I've barely started. And I did absolutely nothing all Saturday.</p>

<p>Wow... the clock really is winding down for me!</p>

<p>All-nighter anyone?</p>

9

<p>I'll be up all night.</p>

<p>I've been in the hospital for a week and I have 92839 tests to make up tomorrow. Wish me luck.</p>

<p>Just go crazy on coffee run :D</p>

<p>I'm running on 4 hours of sleep pretty well with the aid of that delightful little drink!</p>

11

<p>I love to procrastinate. I always do it and it rarely bites me in the ass except in the form of tiredness the day after I stay up past 11 writing a paper.</p>

<p>procrastination is contagious

Me, too. It's very frustrating...</p>

<p>Right now I'm procrastinating on studying for Calc, Bio, French, and Euro. I also have a Physics lab which I'm planning on doing during homeroom, or after my French or Euro test. Hmm.</p>

<p>The thing I do love about procrastinating though is that somehow everything works out in the end, always always to me :D</p>

15

<p>I know! Everything does always work out for me. Somehow, I manage to finish up the work, or BS the test, or avoid passing in my work...
It's also terrible, though, because it has made me even worse... I'm essentially being rewarded for my sloth. Yayyy.</p>

16

<p>Well, right now I'm convincing myself that after I get out for break tomorrow, I will nip my procrastinating habits in the bud!</p>

<p>We'll see how long that farce keeps up..</p>

17

<p>^^ Haha. So did I... </p>

<p>My break started friday. How much work have I gotten done? About 4 precalc problems...</p>
