    Default Procrastination

    <!--You just smurf yourself.-->[leeza]*snip*[/leeza]

    Today, due tomorrow, I have to finish a learnish a monologue on An Inspector Calls. We've (my group) decided to set it in 1917, with Gerald being dead. I have no idea if my part's up to scratch because my psycho English teacher wasn't in when I needed to ask her. Bitch.

    Also, I have....hmmm....let's see....10 month overdue French coursework (it wasn't really a firm deadline anyway) which I haven't even started yet. Luckily I've only gotta hand in the first draft. Though the fact remains: I suck. I also know that I should do my French work experience piece too, and I've only got 50-60 words left of that, so I might as well finish that today. Hmm...I could just finish the work experience, start on the holiday piece and give my teacher the WE one and say "I thought you meant this one!". That'll get me an extra 2 days.

    Anyhoo, I'm incredibly lazy and am a fanatical procrastinator when it comes to doing work. I always leave it to the last moment. I'm already staying after school 3 days out of 5 to get my maths coursework done before February!

    So how about you? How much of a procrastinator are you? Has it ever got you in trouble?

    I claim to be a procrastinator, but I'm really not that bad. I'm more of a weekend before person. Right now I haven't much to worry about. I have to write a first draft of a thesis essay in my English class, but that'll take like, a half hour.

    I am. I don't ever have homework, but I still manage to procrastinate.

    And it will get me in huge trouble, since I have to pass this project to graduate.

    I procrastinated horribly at GCSE, and my grades show it. I learned my lesson from that, and since then I haven't been as bad. Best of luck with the workload, man. Sounds like you could use some.

    I usually leave things to the last minute, night before type thing. Then I get behind in class and I do the whole 'til-4am-homework thing.

    I am the master of procrastination. It's probably my worst feature, because in the end it causes a lot of stress.

    But only in rare cases. I usually manage to look at it the weekend before it's due, then find sometime in the week to actually do it (unless it is due monday, in which case I do it all on the weekend). I like to claim procastination, but I'm not really.

    all the time these days but it doesn't get me in trouble cos I'm good at blagging things I guess, or just getting it done just in time.

    Yes, of course I am. And I continue to do it because it hasn't yet screwed me over. Last semester I wrote my final English essay from 11 pm to 5 am the day it was due (so technically I turned it in late) and then uploaded it to the internet through the English department website. And it was the best essay I'd written in years.

    Procrastinating probably does cause my grades to suffer a bit and when I procrastinate in other areas it has social ramifications, but again, they're not severe enough to make me stop.

    Oh I did coursework on that earlier this school year. I loooved the book but I focused on Sheila and not Gerald.
    Im a very bad procastinator. I leave essays until the day before they're due, and I always seem to get behind in Food Technology coursework too.
    I get extremely stressed over it, last week I had a whole essay and loads of food tech to do on one day for the next day, and it was a weekday! I was up until midnight xD
