Hey, you know what they say... Never wait until tomorrow to do what you can put off indefinitely.
Procrastination hasn't really been a problem for me this semester. What really kills me is the fact that I direct all my efforts to that one really hard class, with lots of projects and exams, but neglect everything else. Oh well, at least there's one thing I'm guaranteed to do really well in.

In a college history class of mine, the research paper was assigned and given a due date on the second class session. We were given 4 months to read a book and write a 5-7 page review of it. I read my book and wrote the essay exacly 5 days before it was due. I got a B, I was quite pleased.

I finished, for anyone that was concerned. It's now 4 am, and I have about 9 pages left to write for various classes tomorrow.
My best procrastination story occurred sophomore year of college, when I researched and wrote a 15 page term paper that was half my grade for the semester the afternoon it was due (evening class). I got an A, took another class with that prof the next semester and did the same thing. |

I too once started an essay 4 hours before it was due, but it was only a little 1000 worder, and it was only for philosophy. I did 0 research for it (you can pull that off pretty easily in philosophy) and for my bibliography just chose a few random titles from the reading list. I just got it in on time. Got a B- for it.
Oh and there was the time I had a mini-essay for high school economics due in the class that came after our lunch break. I did the essay during lunch and got 20/20 for it. It was worth 10% of the year's mark, and I finished that course right on the pass mark. One mark less and I would have failed.

It makes me extremely uncomfortable to put things off for later, but I continually do it.
As if I have all the time in the world to finish it. As if tomorrow is a foregone conclusion. Maybe I get off on the squirmy sensation I get when something is due and I wait 'til the last possible window of time in which it could possibly be accomplished by. I don't know. I DO know I don't like to think about it for long. It depresses me. I believe I've gotten better at parsing my time, but I know I can do more to help alleviate some of my guilt. 'At's enough for now.

Got a ten pager due tomorrow... I thought it would be a good idea to start today. But with the TFP, and food, and the phone, and TV, how is a guy supposed to get anything done? My teacher might not be happy with my efforts. I might have to turn in a five pager instead.

Nah you're not a moron, just lazy. Do what I am, and take something so extremely difficult, that you know if you don't study, or don't completely understand a concept in and out, you'll be fucked to the power of 20.

During the second quarter of my freshman year of college I had this physics professor who didn't care if you attended class or not. Needless to say, I didn't. I actually missed a midterm in the class because I didn't know about it, from not attending classes. SO, by the time the final exam rolled around I needed an A on it have any hope of passing the class at all. I studied for two days straight, no sleep -- i did not leave my room for any circumstance, food was brought to me etc. The bitch of it was I fell asleep on my couch four hours before the exam. Amazingly I woke up about 30 minutes after the test started, grabbed my shit and jetted as fast as I could to the physics building.
After showing up 45 minutes late to an exam, I was the first one in the class to finish the test (i was always kind of speedy in exams.) AND I got a D+ in the class, not something to be proud of I know, but hey, I passed.
