Right now I should (I prefer to say: "could") be working on plowing through 300 pages of textbook for a couple of courses.
But it's only 9 in the morning, and I need my coffee.
I always put studying and writing off. Whenever I don't I'm living the exception.
I'm trying to turn exception into reality by, eh, studying somewhere where it's hard for me to get distracted.

I am currently NOT doing a paper for my history class due to 11:00 a.m., I didn't do an essay for English that I suppose was important even though the teachr extended the deadline, and my senior project I procrastinated on until March when it was due April and stil got a good grade on it. I rule at procrastinating.
I am the king of procrastinators, I always do papers the day they are due.
Let's see, a few weeks ago I had a paper due in my Shakespeare class, on Titus. For the assignment, I had to read Act 1 Scene 1 then write a 3 to 4 page paper that dealt with that scene. I had to discuss the meaning of the scene and its relevance to Shakespeare and what he could have meant by the scene in relation to England and Ancient Rome. I also had to decide what characters I felt the most sympathy with in the scene and make predictions about what was suppose to happen in the rest of the play.
I read the 10 pages of the scene the night before, went to bed at like 3am, got up at 7:30am ate and cleaned up. I spent an hour and a half writing on the paper, went to my first class which was from 10:30 to 11:45, got back to my apartment at noon, finished up the paper in a half hour, went to my creative writing class classroom early since there isn't a class in there before then, had that class from 1:30 to 2:45, then turned in my Shakespeare paper at 3:00 during the class, it was 3 and a half pages long. I got it back the next week, I got an A- on it.
So, it took me 2 hours to write a 3 and a half page A- paper.
Oh, I also have another 3 to 4 page paper due for that Shakespeare class, this Tuesday(tomorrow). I still have to read Davenant's 74 page remake of Shakespeare's Macbeth, compare it to Shakespeare's Macbeth, and summarize questions from an article about them to go into that paper, with a compare and contrast of the two versions of Macbeth and Macduff.

Wow three days, is that class days or just days in between the class days.MrBirdy said:
Because at my university, pretty much every professor has a policy that for every class day that a paper is late, a full letter grade is taken off. Some, don't even let you turn them in late. Now my Shakespeare professor is pretty nice, he will wave the letter grade of for one class day, but he expects the paper to be in by then or no grade at all.
I see what you did there.Timmehexas said:
I'm talking about my procrastination as a way to procrastinate from doing my paper that will be due tomorrow. I'm using my time wisely.
there is a thing here in norway and in many other European countries that is called the EU control for cars..
Its basically a test your car has to go through to check the condition its in, before you are allowed to insure it and drive it on the road.. This is a test done every 2 years..
Well, i kinda just never bothered with it for 1,5 years, thats a major procrastination.. So i drove illegally all that time..
So yeah.. Anyone else beat that time not doing something you definitly should?

I'm a horrible procrastinator, i once did an entire online class that was 15 weeks long in the last week. Thankfully my instructor still graded my stuff and i got an A in the class.
Procrastination is like masterbation. it feels good at the time but at the end of the day all youre doing is f***ing yourself
Yeah I'm a major procrastinator too but.. Fuck it not finishing this post, I'll keep watching the Butterfly Effect instead.
