And to further the procrastination...

Alrighty here, folks. If I can just push this for 36 more minutes, I will have successfully avoided reading my American Literature homework in the time slot I had allotted for myself. Why would I give myself an alloted time slot if I wasn't going to use it, you ask? Well, my answer would be to not ask stupid questions. There is no rhyme or reason to my procrastination. In fact, I'm well aware of the fact that if I only did my homework when I told myself I was going to do it, I'd be more likely to have time to do fun stuff like see my family and friends, watch movies, and sleep. Instead, I like to stretch a one page response paper over the course of four hours, interspersed with lots and lots of facebook checking,(note: not much changes in four hours. In fact, I don't think anything happened in those four hours, but I still kept checking just in case.) getting up for snacks, sitting back down, getting up to take care of the snack plate, taking off with my brother in law to go look at a car for sale, etc. You get the idea. At my little sister's nagging, I finally finish the first response, and promptly write the next two page response paper in twenty minutes cuz I was tired of sitting around "writing." So I'm capable of turning out papers. Actually, I'll be honest (read: full of myself) and say I'm more than capable; I'm really good at turning out papers when I want to sit down and do the work. Unfortunately, I usually don't "want" to do my homework. It's gonna be a long semester. And a long 27 minutes while I find something else to do to avoid that homework.
