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

<p>I just installed 3 computer games prior to finishing my last essay.
whoops....</p>

<p>Facebook, listening to music, and watching Detective Conan</p>

<p>making paper snowflakes. I make really pretty ones.</p>

<p>Eating.
Watching sports despite the fact I hate watching sports.
Looking up OTHER colleges I could apply to...until realizing I don't want to ask for even more recommendation letters.</p>

<p>Facebook
YouTube
MSN
AIM
The Office
30 Rock
Some other TV shows...
School work (who knew?)
College trips lol :D</p>

<p>looking through my picture albums, reminiscing the good times.</p>

<p>I have still 2 applications to complete, and a 34p script to translate. </p>

<p>I am going for a week to mountains now - snowboard, not sure whether they have wi-fi. If no, my applications are not going to meet the deadline.</p>

<p>SWEET :)</p>

<p>I'm in India so there are infinite number of family members to distract me, CC boards, eating food, and I've recently started playing cell phone games to avoid it.</p>

<p>online games... friends..basketball... uh oh , i gotta cut these short... and work on my essays really asap!</p>

<p>GTA4, Call of Duty, and I'm about to go buy The Office Season 4 today.... God help me :-P</p>

<p>I actually only have one short answer left and then I'm done though :)</p>

<p>... when you want to complain about faculty not getting back to you early enough about your grades.</p>

<p>My kitchen is never so clean as it is when I have a slew of papers to comment and grade!</p>

<p>(Good luck!)</p>

<p>oh lord help me i just got guitar hero. MISTAKE. At least i'm not playing it now.... but CC isn't much better.</p>

<p>I was given a set of 120 Prismacolor colored pencils for Christmas. It took about 1 hour to chromatically sort them and place them in perfect rainbow order (yeah, I'm pretty OCD), and 2 and a half to sharpen them all, and so far about 5 hours to make sure they all work :)</p>

<p>I have 2 apps due Jan 1 and I haven't started the essays for either (Tufts and Middlebury...eeeek...) I predict a really, really bad New Year's Eve at this rate.</p>

<p>Doing 15 minutes of work and then thinking "oh I got a lot done today and I have lots of time left. I'll do this tomorrow."</p>

<p>I can't think of a decent topic for my Commonapp essay, still.</p>

<p>even though im not applying... i just don't want to read books... I've been on CC at 3 in the morning</p>

<p>ughh....6 schools left to do..-sighs-..meaning i have to do the supplements even I got into MIT early action.</p>

<p>I am now the guitar hero.</p>

<p>In an effort to finish all my supplemental essays, aside from going to my cousins' house for Christmas, I haven't left the house in five days. I only have 2 essays out of like 6 done. FAIL.</p>

<p>playing MMOs :)</p>

<p>i get sidetracked too easily ='((</p>
