Procrastinating...

So, I’m not entirely sure how it happens… But, here I am – as usual – hours before an assignment is due, finally sitting down to complete it. I have had a week to type up two blogs on absolutely any topic that I choose, and I couldn’t find any other time to do it… In seven whole days!? That’s not true, really. I’ve had plenty of time to do it… I am just a professional procrastinator. No matter how long I have to do an assignment – even 15 page term papers – I will always wait until the last minute. I hate myself for it sometimes. I can think of numerous occasions where I have had months to organize and complete large assignments, but I will always find myself pulling all nighters to complete it at the last minute. Luckily, I have adapted to being this way and I am actually pretty good at working under this kind of pressure. I have definitely gotten A’s on assignments that I completed in a few hours – which I had months to work on. This does not change the amount of stress I cause myself by going about my school work this way. It is not only stressful at the point where I have no other choice than to stay up all night completing it – if I wish to turn it in on time – but I am also stressed out the whole time prior knowing that I should start it, but just not being able to bring myself to do it. I wish that there was something that I could do to change this, but it’s deeply ingrained in my being at this point. Maybe it will take the one time that I forget to do something all together and screw up my grade for the term that will finally teach me a lesson. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this never happens, though.
