Sometimes when the pressure is really on in college, I will do everything in my power to put all of my work off until one point. My rational at the time is that I am trying to get all of my suffering done at once, but deep down inside I wonder if I might enjoy working under these conditions. Enjoy the thrill of knowing I might fail, enjoy how everything hangs in the balance and enjoy the way that I have to push myself at that last moment.
Maybe I'm just in need of some sleep, but can anyone else identify with the tremendous feeling that comes when you push yourself to the limits and then succeed?

i can relate. i find that postponing things til the night before gives me more ambition and motivation to -get it done-. i love working under pressure. it keeps me on my toes. kind of exciting. that's why i HAVE to have deadlines. or i'll never get something done. :P
i live in-the-moment. kinda makes me wonder how much better i can do though, if i pulled off an 'A' on an art project i whipped out under 3 hours. :P
as for masochism vs. procrastination, i never put the two together. i don't think they can be related in any way.
