SO,
How many of you EC'ers ever procrastinate on your homework?
I know I do!
Our teacher warned us to concentrate and really study. It didn't help that we had 2 assignments jammed into the weekend..even though we DID have a 3 day weekend. Heh.
So now I'm up at 4 in the morning chugging caffinated tea and posting here because my brain needs of a break. Its jammed with overloads of chemistry..don't rub it in my face if you're good at that stuff either..I've been up since 9 PM trying to do this. HA! I am not going to get any sleep. Its actually quite easy, I wish I wouldve realized this, I dunno, two days ago!

Anyone, anyone? Lol

I've had a photography project going on for about 5 weeks, been lightly doing the 'homework' on computers n' stuff, tolf my tutor that as well, and have only just set it all down in the photography workbook yesterday. But it felt SOOOOOOOOOOOOgood!

Procrastinating right now...need to have some lunch then prepare for college.

wellhidden · 14th Nov 2011, 04:18 AM

that is soo happening with me right now as well, curse biology and physics

Chouchou · 14th Nov 2011, 04:31 AM

Guilty as charged. I once waited till the week before it was due to start a 26-page research paper, and spent long energy drink-fueled hours at the library churning it out. Fortunately, I got an A on it. Take this from someone who was a student for almost 20 years: stay healthy, and do not do what I did. You can get As without losing sleep or a social life.

I'm procrastinating as we speak!

It's a horrible habit and I always tell myself I'll start earlier next time

Fortunately, I'll be graduating in a few weeks. Then I can procrastinate in the "real world"

Rinto · 14th Nov 2011, 04:55 AM

Yahaha, I'm guilty^^

I have trigonometry homework but nah, I hate it.^^ I'd prefer surfing the net than Trigo.

Rooni321 · 14th Nov 2011, 08:19 AM

Yes hooray for 2-ish hours of sleep!

FJ Cruiser · 14th Nov 2011, 10:45 AM

It's gotten worse now that I'm in college unfortunately. I have an eight page paper, a ten minute presentation, and another three page paper due Thursday, and I've barely started on the first one. I'm going to rough it the next few days, so if you don't see me, you'll know why.

Rinamir Mortem · 14th Nov 2011, 10:48 AM

I am so bad at procrastinating that I am considering changing my motto to "Why start today when you can put off until tomorrow".

thecat06 · 14th Nov 2011, 11:09 AM

I always do this with my college writing papers... could be because I hate my professor though..

needshelp · 14th Nov 2011, 11:39 AM

if you're not procrastinating, then you're not normal. j/k but sometimes you have to push yourself to get some work out the way because you don't want to end up being backlogged with work. just do a little something even if it's one problem or two, get some rest, watch some tv and just do what you have to do.

Nazo · 14th Nov 2011, 11:48 AM

I procrastinate on almost all my work...
I feel like I get it done better if I have that extra motivation of "holy shit I have to get this done NOW."

Revan · 14th Nov 2011, 12:05 PM

Honey, I have a presentation to give tomorrow night, been up since 10am, done nothing -_-

dreamcatcher · 14th Nov 2011, 12:23 PM

I feel like procrastination is a requirement for graduating from high school/college. I think the worst thing I ever did was start studying at midnight for a cumulative final the next day at 7 in the morning. In my defense I had a lot of projects that week so there was no way I could have studied earlier! Needless to say, I did not get an ounce of sleep that night. However, I did get an A on the final

So I guess procrastination does work sometimes!

alex2020 · 14th Nov 2011, 12:58 PM

I procrastinate on pretty much all my work. I think the worst I ever got was starting a research paper four hours before it was due. I did manage to submit it before the deadline, albeit about 30 seconds before said deadline.

kiersten · 14th Nov 2011, 01:59 PM

I usually spend my time procrastinating with EC!!!

lol!

I have this hanging in my room.

It says:

Quote:

1. I believe if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.

2. I shall never move quickly, unless it is to avoid work or find more excuses.

3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.

4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to recieve from missing them.

5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibilty for new technolgoies, astounding discoveries and a reprieve from my obligations.

6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable, reguardless of the amount of time given.

7. I shall never forget that the possibility of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.

8. If at first I don't succeed, there is always next year.

9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.

10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.

11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that muse be done prior to beginning the greater task.

12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/wait/plan.

13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.

14. I will become a member of the Ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator's society) if they ever get organzied.

bubblesh204 · 14th Nov 2011, 03:24 PM

I've submitted a LON-CAPA assignment at 11:59 when it was due at 12:00. The worst I've done with a paper is not starting it until Homeroom the day it was due and typing all five pages of the paper in the last 15 minutes of study hall. I don't know if this is just me but I feel like I get better grades on assignments if I do them last minute. Anyone else feel the same?

Yeah I definately have to work on that. Especially now, around this time teachers love to assign homework that's due like a week to a month away and I in turn fuh-get about it. And end up on here ahaha
