So, what is it about me that makes me procrastinate? My motto in life has always been, "Don't do today what you can put off to tommorow." Please note this has never been intentional. Given a choice I would love to be the kind of person who does her work a week before it's due and has gone through it thrice. Unfortunately I am not that person. I'm the one standing next to her pens lost in her hair, chewing through pencils, multi-tasking like it's no one's busness(read: thinking up ways to extend the deadline while simultaneously trying to come up with a masterpiece filled with the right combination of info and creativity, covered with spelling mistakes) 2 hours beore the deadline. You would think once I got a laptop everything would be much simpler. Hah! It has. now instead of scrambling about 2 hours before the deadline I scramble an hour before it. Now instead of losing stationary to my hair and teeth I have to constantly fight a losing battle against facebook, gmail, movies and soaps I've downloaded and ofcourse unbelievably interesting articles about the north korean president's hairstyle! So now multi-tasking takes a completely different dimension. Brilliant! Sigh...Mind you, I wasn't always like that...ok maybe I was. That isn't the point, I did try to start in advance. It did work once. But, believe it or not, I lost the assignment a day before I had to submit it! After searching for as long as I dare I began to write it all over again, cursing and questioning the meaning behind my life(every time I get frustrated I turn philosophical..something to do with displacement). Anyway 4 hours before the deadline I find it! And it turns out to be nothing in comparision to my absolutely brilliant last minute job.
You may wonder, dear reader what sparked off this sudden outburst. If you haven't already guessed it I have a killer whale of an assignment due tomorrow and I CANNOT concentrate! sigh..story of my life
