Well I have 2 exams and a 4 page position paper due on monday. I mean I've studied some for the exams but haven't even began the paper, much less picked a topic. I'll probably get it finished tomorrow night but I really find it hard to do a paper unless I'm under pressure to get it finished on time. My professor assigned it at the beginning of the semester like 6 weeks ago. I think I can get away with waiting til the last minute on the paper since its a 100 level class. I'm going to really have to study for one of the exams though since its 404 governments of europe and its all essay. I should do well on it but I just hate how I can't seem to get away from waiting til the last minute to do anything. It isn't like I dont have time since I don't have a job right now. I guess I'm just lazy... or almost apethethic toward school right now. I just hope I can get responsible by the time its all upper level classes that assign papers.
Does anyone else seem to do this?

I'd pull an all-nighter but I have 25 hours work after my classes, basically no time to sleep besides like 6 hours a night.

I have procrastinated alot throughout high school. Even though im going to a community college next fall I know its still gonna be hard work. I wont have the use of procrastinating in college because ill have a lot of work and if i dont turn that shit in my grade will go down. Im going to try to pick the easiest classes possible that still pertains to something I like to do.

I think we'd all get a lot more work done were it not for the internet.

I second that. The internet distracts me.

The internet beyond destracts me. For example, i had a paper due today. So, what do i do last night? I decide that i'll just check my e-mail and see who's on aim. I end up faceboking/being on here/talking to people for 4 hours, not doing my paper, then deciding i'm tierd and going to sleep.
i had 2 and a half weeks to visit a zoo, take notes on certain primates and prepare an 8 page paper. so what do i do? i visit the zoo the day before the paper is due, take terrible notes, and go to work later during the day. after work, i came home and did nothing for 2 hours. i started my paper at about midnight and finished just in time to print it out and go to school.

I know I'm supposed to have this book read by next week and I started this past wednesday. I don't even think I've reached the halfway point of it, but it'll get done... eventually.

Oh actually the only reason I am reading it is for this test... it was supposed to be done two weeks ago. My logic got mixed up there.

That's what I'm doing right now!
Yeah. I have an essay on Hemingway's "Big Two Hearted River" due tomorrow. I have two words typed.

I do this far too much. I kinda fucked up my GPA last semester. I guess I'm just getting used to this whole college thing. cause nobody is really on your back. and with 2 online classes I'm taking along with my normal classes, it's a "work at your own pace" kinda thing. and I'm no good at it.

I am REALLY bad with procrastinating as far as school is concerned. One time I did the research and everything for this ridiculously long paper I had over 2 months to do in about a day. It was not fun but I managed to get an A and I never did anything that bad again haha

All True. The nobody looking over your shoulder is deff something that takes a while to get use too.

i love writing if i'm inspired or motivated by my topic. but i can't work when it's forced.
i have two tests tomorrow. and a bunch of worksheets.
i'm an A student but i've been sick a lot this trimester (cancer, sinus infection, colds, walking pneumonia) so i'm failing a good number of classes. i'm not in high school yet and the grades aren't going to follow me, so screw it. i don't think i'm going ot bother with make up work.
