The Procrastination Thread

[wizzard]

This is a thread for all of you who recognize the true art of procrastination, who can write a 5 page paper in an hour (as long as it's the hour before it's due), who can always find a reason that things can be put off until later.

At the moment, I have 30 pages of history reading, a report about said reading, a test and a chapter's worth of worksheets for German, all due in the next 15 hours, and yet I'm still managing to put it off to post in this thread.

I should be sleeping so I can wake up early and study for a test I have in the morning. Then I should be reading the history and computer chapter I have to read for the next day, all the while preparing for Intro to Jazz which I have tomorrow too.

last night i put off 40 pages of bacterial genetics reading, two pre-labs, my myth reading assignment and homework questions, and pharmacy notes reading to take a walk with my roommates and watch gilmore girls.

I really ought to be reading De doctrinia christiana for my Mediaeval Bible class... but I'm posting here, instead.

[Petra456]

I should be putting all my packed boxes in a truck and getting ready to move in about an hour, but i'm sitting here playing with pweb.

[lyons24000]

I should be calling my girlfriend and telling her I am sorry but then again, I didn't do anything and I'm tired of taking the blame when she is at fault.

[Mahatma]

I should be writing the conclusion to a linguistics Problem Set and doing a Question Response to chapter that I've only just skimmed.

And I'm a tutor for this class. I should probably get my act together.

But on the bright side, my professor knows I kick ass at it, I just like to procrastinate.

[Young Val]

i should be SLEEPING.

since i haven't done that in two nights.

[anonshadow]

I am putting off calling in sick to work, because I feel immensely guilty about it. As I feel absolutely terrible and have no voice, however, I think it is unavoidable.

I am also trying not to think about how much it's going to hurt to talk loud enough for the woman on the other end to hear me.

[suminonA]

I should think about some smart reply, instead I just write this and think about it later.

instead of showering and getting ready to see henry, i am posting on pweb and courting my panic attacks about not being showered and/or ready to see henry.

[Qing_Jao]

I probably should be putting the clean clothes away before the kids thrash all over them and make my folding job wothless....oops, that already happened.

i should be getting ready to go to a party...but instead I'm dreading going to it, listening to Dane Cook, and posting here.

[Bevis]

I should be sleeping.

[starlooker]

I have what looks to be an insanely difficult midterm in multivariate statistics tomorrow.

Am I studying?

Three guesses.

[Bevis]

I should be reading.

[wizzard]

I played World of Warcraft until 9 this evening, in spite of the fact that I have a reaction paper due tomorrow for a reading that I hadn't even finished.

I've also realized that I lost one of my best tools for procrastinating: searching through really old threads, and bumping random ones (especially the "stop bumping random threads" thread).

[eriador]

I've got a few chapters for English, an entire assignment for Calculus and hours of work on my science project all sitting around gathering dust.

f***. I am screwed.

[Bevis]

I should be making my lunch.

[Nicholas]

Take home test due three classes ago (which i have not attended) not getting done because i am addicted.

I have a research report due tomorrow which WILL NOT be taken late and all I have to show for it is 23 note cards and the library is closed because its Sunday. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to have all internet sources... Oh yeah and the only internet source we are allowed to use is this annoying state made research website that for some reason requires a code.(not that they keep it a secret but its not just printed anywhere)

This is a one-semester class that I am already failing.

Know why? I didnt turn in the rough draft.

Know why? I've already told you. (23 note cards)(no thesis)(etc.)

[ValentineNicole]

I'm putting off doing my graphs for my behavioral modification project as loooooooong as possible. But they're due tommorrow...so that won't be toooooo much longer

[VelvetElvis]

I have a speech, a research paper, and an essay due tomorrow.

[eriador]

My french teacher is expecting three essays (in french) a month ago.

And I haven't done them, but she still wants them.

[fawkes]

Ok, I'm trying to start on this paper, but I have no idea what I'm going to write. Stupid philosophy. Be easy!

(a few hours later) 4.25 pages down, with 1.5 space between lines. If it were double spaced, I bet I'd be done by now.

[VelvetElvis]

English essay: Done

Sociology paper: Done

Speech: Unfinished

[Ithilien]

I'm supposed to clear the table for dinner. Instead, I am posting on top of it.

[starlooker]

Finding yet MORE scales and measures for my dissertation. Procrastinating at 2.5 hours strong.

However, I have begun. I do have one self-efficacy scale that I'm looking at seriously. In between seeing if anyone's posted on pweb.

[zeroguy]

I know two pages is practically nothing. But that doesn't help at all with not wanting to do it.
