things you've been doing to avoid working on your essays

<p>post-processing photos from a hike two days ago....</p>

<p>Essays don't need THAT much time--I wrote my Yale supplement essay an hour before I submitted it... In retrospect, probably not the best idea, but oh well.</p>

<p>I developed a sudden urge to exercise. Before winter break, I went to the gym maybe twice in three months. Now, I'm jogging every day. I think my subconscious wants me to literally run away from writing essays. :)</p>

<p>Myspace. Shopping. You Know.</p>

<p>flirting with my date. oh no.</p>

<p>I just pulled an all-nighter to finish mine. =]</p>

<p>Anyway:
1. Facebook Tetris
2. Chatting
3. Facebook...
4. CC...</p>

<p>Just got one of mine done...a few more shorts to go. I guess there'll be a bit of time for some editing...</p>

<p>Oh yeah...also been watching Gossip Girl in the meantime. </p>

<p>And the due date's in March...but this term's going to be rough, so I'd at least like to get mine pretty much done.</p>

<p>Facebook is such a huge distraction.</p>

<p>I can't even find the willpower or the right words to write the short responses. I think I did 2 short responses in the past 3 days.</p>

<p>Well, I don't belong in the last second category because I already turned them all in :) but it was hell trying to get them done. Video games are the prime culprit here. I've never been able to stay away from them. I held off doing one essay for almost two months!</p>

<p>wow wow... i logged into my pc... tellin myself... i will finish my essays today... i did everythin but.. i hunted down long lost friends( who dint even remember me btw :D), read a novel(under the pretext of gettin ideas and inspiration for my essays), fought with my boyfriend over nothin(hey.. my personal ife is important too ;) ) and now... i say its very late... i've worked hard enough(????) i need some sleep... only with good sleep will i be able to start on my essays tomo(ha.. tats a laugh)</p>

<p>p.s: boy... am i glad... i thought i was the only slacker... procrastinator out here... i thought i was gettin lost in the land of overachievers gettin into harvard, yale n every other 'dream' school... :D tanx guys.. this thread has given me the moral support to.... procrastinate even more ;) :D</p>

<p>Bremsespor, I'm always rambling ;)
And Swedish girl, actually. :p</p>

<p>Drinking.</p>

<p>I only have one more to write, though.</p>

<p>...but it's Amherst. Whoops.</p>

<p>Facebook. Blogthings. This site. Reading Crime and Punishment/Eclipse/The Stranger over and over. And going over stuff for driver's license test (I know I'm lame.)</p>

<p>Yeah. Glad I am finishing my last application this week.</p>

<p>Google talk....
I really need to get going with the essays. But I'm too lazy.</p>

<p>facebook, cc, watching old O.C. episodes online! I forgot how much I loved that show, even though the acting isn't really the best</p>

<p>Facebook, Wii Guitar Hero, CC, sleep, sleep, sleep, cooking, chores, homework...</p>

<p>As one of the CC graders here who has 28 requests left to do in the next 2 days, if I see ANYONES name here from my list I am removing you.</p>

<p>Be warned. If you procrastinate on the most important writing in your life, you deserve to fail.</p>

<p>-Facebook
-Gawker
-practicing cello
-organizing/cleaning things (which I NEVER do)
-watching TV
-eating
-browsing online clothing stores
-listening to music
-reading</p>

<p>...and I have 6 more applications to finish</p>

<p>For 3 days I was preparing myself for writing:
*turning computer on - checking email, looking on CC, communicator - 1h left
*Word is on. Succes. Yeah, blank page is kinda great succes.
*I need tea/coffe - go to kitchen. In my case, it's very dangerous - I thought about pasta with bechamel sauce. I'm so hungry!
*Having argument with mum about tradition vs appetite (Why don't you eat dumpings?!)
*Cooking, eating, washing teeth, making tea
*It's 3h from my last mail check! +CC +communicator - 1h left
*Word is on
*I need tea/coffe
*I need break
....
.....
I'm now drinking tea again. Oh no, it's empty! I need to make a new one...</p>
