Every time. I do this every time. I know I have papers due. I know I have things to read. I know that i have the most ridiculous amount of homework to do, and yet, I find something else… something I shouldn’t even be spending my time doing… and that’s what I do.
Tomorrow, when I finally sleep off the Rockstar I’ve been consuming, I will half work on part of my paper and get it started… read as much of The Last Unicorn as I possibly can, and attempt to study for my Drugs quiz that I need to take before the end of Monday.
I’ve got a doll to finish crocheting before Thursday. My paper is due Thursday.
Always. I always do this to myself. People like the boy constantly tell me that I pull off the good grades with severe procrastination because of my intelligence. The ex-bff says similar things. Michiko has also said this. Everyone keeps saying it, like I should just accept this as “the way things are” when I know better. I mean, I KNOW better than to do this. I’ll pass my classes. I’ll get the paper written, and I’ll be unhappy with it… and somehow I’ll get some ridiculously good grade. I’ll take my quiz, get at least most of the book read, enough to participate in the discussions. And all of this in a matter of days, because it’s just what I do.
It’s how I roll.
But I still feel guilty for it. I still wish that I didn’t do it. And yet, I keep doing it. I guess… I like the punishment.

I knew I was about to be rickrolled (how could I not know with a URL like that?) but I clicked anyway just so I could hear the song.

Lawl at the RickRoll! <3
I hear you loud and clear on the post-procastination success. I am the same way, and work best under pressur. Good luck changing it, if that’s what you choose to do. ^__^
I will try not to harass you [too much] this week so you can handle all of your ridiculous tasks.
