Procrastination

[oloriel]

I'm an idiot.
I'm so angry at myself right now.
I knew I head to write that term paper till March 7 since, like, January.
I knew I'd need time.

I sat there, every day, reading a bit of the stuff I copied, making some notes.
But nothing more.
Somehow, there was always tomorrow.
Well, tomorrow is March 7.

So now I have to try to do it all at once.
Sure, I've written exams.
Where I've written way more than the 6 pages required now.
Within 3 hours.

But I didn't have to quote several texts there.
No stupid experts.
And no distractions.
That's the main point, I think.

My problem is not that I don't use time for the things I like to do.
My problem is that I don't use time for the things I have to do.
I procrastinated.
Once again.

It's not gonna break my neck.
I know that somehow, tomorrow morning, I will have written the term paper.
I'll get a grade, maybe none too good, but I'll pass.
That's the worst thing.

I hardly do anything, I pass,
So I don't learn from it.
Sure it's a blessing, in a way.
But it's fucking annoying.

I SO know that!
Procrastinate until it's no longer possible, scrap something together... and pass.
Somehow you'd wish to fail for it would perhaps make you work harder.
Definitely not alone with that, you are.

Thanks. Really helps to know I'm not alone. Weird, eh? It's not actually doing me any good - whether I'm the only one or 6 Billion people share the problem, the problem remains the same - but it makes a difference somehow. Oh, marvelous mind.
*is in a very weird mood today*
But really, thanks!

And tomorrow I will come visit you. No chance for the weekend *sigh* but at least I'll come by tomorrow. Yes!
