I love this:

"But Seth," you interject, as I take a Rubik's Cube from my desk drawer and begin fiddling with it, "what about that kid in my econ section who's always on top of things? He makes an outline of his paper two weeks in advance, writes a rough draft, then does further research and revisions. Couldn't I be more like that kid if I put my mind to it?"

No. You couldn't. That kid will grow up to be a powerful politician or business leader. You won't.


Hehehe.

are you saying you dont even plan stuff before you start?

I leave things until the last minute but I know *exactly* what I'm going to write when I do it due to planning it the week before. doesnt everyone do that? :/

I don't always plan things before I start them (even if I'm writing it the night before).

I never plan things. I'm a true procrastinator :)

Last Sunday I was up at 3.30am writing a French essay due on Monday 12pm and I still had no idea what I was meant to be writing about.

Can anybody say "going to fail semester 1"? :D


PS> enwiabobbly: can we make 08/08/08 VN Procrastination Day?

Someone wrote a comment:

"This is the year of the procrastinator--2008. I am pushing for National Procrastination Day to be moved to August 8. 08/08/08. If you say it out loud, it says Oh, wait, Oh wait, Oh wait."

Made me lol
