What is it with this downward spiral of procrastination?

You know you have to get your shit done, and yet you haven't cracked open a book and you're like...f**k it. I'm already screwed. I might as well fail.

SOMEBODY SAVE ME FROM THIS ENDLESS ABYSS OF DESPAIR.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 2 2008, 12:58 AM

I think we're all going through that right now

I missed a whole day of school today, and all I got done was my reading for tomorrow's class. I spent most of the day watching YouTube videos, going on cB, watching TV, and eating cereal.

And I just realized recently that my first English paper is due next Friday, and I haven't even finished reading the play yet. And I hardly have any time to do it this weekend because I'm working more hours than usual. ><

omg

I have an Econ and a Calc midterm on Friday. And my Econ midterm is supposed to be the most impossible thing EVER.

I AM SO

SO
SO

f**kED

HOW THE f**k DID I GET 27 POSTS TODAY?

I am playing Minesweeper right now.

Posted by: Gigi Oct 2 2008, 01:07 AM

I am in my room trying to get something done

BUT I f**kIN

CAN'T

OH MY GOD

Seriously, how would I even go about starting to study?

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 2 2008, 01:09 AM

Get your mom to hide your laptop from you, and lock yourself in your room to study. DO IT. I did that for about two hours today and I got my reading done.... not like it was too much progress, but it's something!

Posted by: pessimist Oct 2 2008, 01:10 AM

Hard to study, when Tung is around.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 2 2008, 01:18 AM

Sweet I just won wooooot.

Trust me, I understand completely....I'm on here and watching anime. Gah. I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO WTF.

Posted by: DoubleJ Oct 2 2008, 05:44 AM

I went to meet the greeks instead of going to class tonight! Yes, my downward spiral continues as well....and to think, I was actually going to go see Cold War Kids next week.

Posted by: ----- Oct 2 2008, 08:20 AM

lol, my psych paper was assigned a month in advance and it was due yesterday, but I didn't start it until yesterday morning and decided to just take an extension and now it's finally done, yay!

Posted by: paperplane Oct 2 2008, 11:10 AM

I put off my history paper until 8am Wednesday morning (it was due at 11), at which point I said f**k it and went back to sleep. It's not that big of a deal, though, because I have one every week, they're pass/fail, and it's not like I'm going to fail any i actually do.

Posted by: Gigi Oct 2 2008, 12:22 PM

lalalal

I'm even procrastinating when I'm at school...awesome.

Guys I'm so stupid, it's friggin cloudy today and yet I'm wearing sandals and forgot to bring an umbrella.

Posted by: ----- Oct 2 2008, 12:30 PM

lol, i didn't do the reading for the class i'm in now. technically, i have time to do it right now, since class starts in 40 min., but... i dont wanna!

Posted by: paolabear20 Oct 2 2008, 01:20 PM

haha, story of my life.
Yep, here I am at school and I am putting of a 300 WORD paper! 300 frigging words. I can do that in my sleep. Yet, i still won't do the easiest thing there is to do. =/

In fact, I think I am going to continue watching Sex and the City until about 12:20, and then I'll get started on this paper. My class starts at 2 so it's alright. I can get it done in an hour or two.

Posted by: ChesterRevolver Oct 2 2008, 02:35 PM

It's all Nike bay bay .. JUST DO IT
=]

(i'm the same as you though, i procrastinate like i'm getting paid for it)

Posted by: paperplane Oct 2 2008, 03:26 PM

I made my last post in here while skipping class...with the intention to get work done....which totally didn't happen.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 2 2008, 05:06 PM

I should have just finished that anthropology assignment instead of read the pages assigned for today. The TA emailed us saying we'd discuss the chapter thoroughly, so I made SURE I read it all.

Yeah, so we didn't really discuss it at all and now I've wasted a freebie late assignment. Woot.

Posted by: karmakiller Oct 2 2008, 05:41 PM

So far, I haven't missed class. But I've put off plenty of work. Even when I sit down with the intention of doing it, I get bored and leave it. I need go sit somewhere without any distractions and just get it done.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 9 2008, 11:44 PM

Shit.

I have a paper due tomorrow, and I haven't even started actually writing for it yet. I'm still deciding on a thesis... I've changed it at least four times in the last three hours. I am so f**king screwed.

Good thing it's only 4 pages long.

Posted by: ----- Oct 10 2008, 01:11 AM

^ I'm in the same position, except I have a thesis, I've got 1 single-spaced page written, and it needs to be 7 pages double-spaced.

><

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 10 2008, 01:15 AM

Oh man, good luck!!

I finally decided on a thesis, and am now looking for evidence to back it up through my books (I'm comparing and contrasting two characters from two different Shakespearean plays). My essay outline is looking pretty good so far... I just hope I'll be able to connect my thoughts together when I actually start writing the essay.

Posted by: ----- Oct 10 2008, 02:48 AM

in the past 1.5 hrs, all i have written is one paragraph -_-

i'm gonna go to sleep and be more productive in the morning.

Posted by: Gigi Oct 10 2008, 02:58 AM

Lalala I need to read 5 more chapters of OB.

That's like 200 pages. And I need to know them all by Wednesday night. So I am just a little bit screwed.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 10 2008, 03:14 AM

^ Are there chapter summaries at the back? If so, you can just skim through it and then go read the summaries. That's what I did for some of my anthropology reading... it gets too tedious, y'know?


I'm still working on my essay outline... I haven't even touched the actual essay yet. I have a little less than 16 hours left until this paper is due... should I just go to sleep for a couple of hours and write the essay later? Or should I just stay up until I'm totally finished?

Posted by: Gigi Oct 10 2008, 03:25 AM

why yes there are chapter summaries but they are pretty general. Plus my prof made it sound like the midterm would be super hard so I better know the specifics...:(

On the bright side, I am meeting way more people now. And acually staying friends with them. Today I had lunch with a bunch of people who weren't from my high school!

On my itouch in bed again so sorry for any weird typos because I'm not proofreading this shit

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 10 2008, 04:29 AM

SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT

HOW DO I PUT THESE NOTES INTO COMPLETE SENTENCES AND INTO NATURALLY FLOWING PARAGRAPHS?!

Posted by: ----- Oct 10 2008, 11:22 AM

:(

I'm on page 5!! Out of a requirement of 6-7 pages!

woot, I R AWESOME.

:D

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 10 2008, 11:32 AM

^ Hey, good job! YOU CAN DO IT MELISSA, YOU CAN DO IT!!

I stayed up all last night with the exception of the two two-hour naps I took randomly... and now I am at 635 words. How pathetic is that? I worked on this essay for about 15 hours, and I'm not even close to finishing it yet.

But I still think I'll be alright... I have until 5pm, and I have my outline all nicely constructed. I CAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT!

Posted by: ----- Oct 10 2008, 12:08 PM

haha, my deadline is 5pm, too! But i'm trying to get it done before 3pm bc i have piano, lol.

anyways... SUCCESS!! I'm at 6.5 pages, which is perfect. All I have to do is bang out a conclusion, edit my grammar, etc., and I'm good to go!

Posted by: ----- Oct 10 2008, 12:48 PM

OMG I AM FINISHED!

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 10 2008, 01:20 PM

Congrats, Mel!!!

I'M SO CLOSE!! I'm at 970 words right now (the required is 1000-1250... not much, I know), and all I need is to finish off the comparing of two characters, tweak my introduction, and write a conclusion. I'M SO CLOSE PLEASE LEMME FINISH THIS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Posted by: hi-C Oct 10 2008, 01:39 PM

Awww... I remember those days well.

Posted by: paperplane Oct 15 2008, 11:19 PM

3 page paper due tomorrow. Not so bad, but I've only written a page and i really need to sleep because I keep oversleeping and missing classes.

Posted by: Gigi Oct 15 2008, 11:38 PM

I think I aced my OB midterm

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

only Psych on Friday, then another two weeks until my next midterm...:(

Posted by: hi-C Oct 15 2008, 11:52 PM

Is OB organic bio?

Posted by: misoshiru Oct 16 2008, 12:06 AM

i'm f**ked. D:

Posted by: freeridefight Oct 16 2008, 12:16 AM

shit gigi. start with something really small, but I guess you got some of that done.

seirously, that is what f**ked up my junior year. im like eh Ill do it all that night, then that night, then that night.


seriously. f**ked my gpa

Posted by: paperplane Oct 16 2008, 12:26 AM

oh my god, how is it almost 1:30??

Posted by: Gigi Oct 16 2008, 12:26 AM

LOL. I'll manage...

Carrie, OB stands for Organizational Behaviour. They may as well rename the course as "Common Sense for Evil Businesspeople".

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 16 2008, 02:32 AM

I got my second Economics assignment back today. The one I stayed up late for and cried over. I got 12/20.


And ehh... Anthropology midterm tomorrow. I'm scared as f**k........

My professor said we have three hours to answer 10 short answer questions and write a 2/3 paragraph essay, but that some people will probably finish in about an hour... so I should be fine, right?

Posted by: Gigi Oct 16 2008, 02:35 AM

I've learned that when a prof gives you 3 hours, and says that you'll only need an hour, you'll definitely need at LEAST 2 hours, if not the full 3 hours.

But in your case it probably won't take too long, it's only 10 short answer and a 2/3 paragraph essay lol. So maybe 2 hours?

And hi, tell me how I studied for 4 hours straight in the library and yet STILL managed to gather 31 posts for today?

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 16 2008, 02:54 AM

LOL I don't think I'd be able to get anything done with a laptop around. It'd still be nice though...

I spent 5 hours in my basement today catching up on reading. And I can't really remember anything.

Posted by: Gigi Oct 17 2008, 01:23 AM

Joanne, I'm pretty sure I have the same Psych textbook as you, only a different edition.

I'm getting to the point of being so desperate that I'm only reading the chapter's Learning Outcomes. Do you think that's sufficient?

I'm gonna beef up my understanding by doing some of the online MC quizzes too. whatever. I'm so gonna wing it. I'll do...okay.

I never thought that going to college would cause me to have the "as long as I pass it's fine" mentality, since I've never had it before, but I am TOTALLY having it.

Posted by: stephinika Oct 17 2008, 01:50 AM

^^
Yeah...uni does that. I hate it.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 17 2008, 02:33 AM

^x2 Reading the textbook is a total bore, so I understand your pain. I just really liked the whole idea of psychology and talking about it in class.

I was going to offer your my notes, but I just looked over all the AP Psych stuff I saved on my computer... and it's all pretty useless. ><

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!

Posted by: Gigi Oct 17 2008, 02:42 AM

'k so I'm averaging like 90% on these MC questions. And that is sure as hell good enough for me. Never mind that I have short answer questions as well...f**k THIS!

Thanks Jones. :D

Posted by: hi-C Oct 17 2008, 05:55 PM

Scarrrryyyy... what's your major?

Posted by: Gigi Oct 17 2008, 08:44 PM

Commerce LOL. No it's actually not that bad, it's pretty much like psychology in the workplace.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 18 2008, 03:05 PM

I woke up at 9 and skipped work today to study for my impossible Macroeconomics midterm... and I haven't even finished one set of lecture notes yet. I blame it on Hexic.

I am so screwed.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 20 2008, 12:16 AM

omg, I think I'm actually starting to understand Econ!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!! Please, for the love of all things good, please let me remember this tomorrow when I actually have the midterm.



This is totally the wrong place to post, but screw it.

Posted by: Gigi Oct 20 2008, 12:56 AM

That's alright, this is pretty much the most active thread in School anyway, and you were talking about school, so w/e.

Yeah so I just did my econ quiz online (which I have weekly). I got 9/10 my first try, and then 4/10 on my second. LOL. I think I just gave up the second time, although I was hoping for a 10/10.

Posted by: ----- Oct 20 2008, 08:07 AM

I have lotsa shit due today :(
And midterms all week :(
Why was this weekend so... NOT productive?

Posted by: Joannnnnne Oct 26 2008, 10:21 PM

Shit. I just realized how screwed I am for this week:

graphic design project due Tuesday - f**k f**k f**k
English paper revision due Tuesday - NO TIME TO DO IT BECAUSE OF ^!!!
discussion of The Country Wife ends Wednesday - I haven't even read half the play yet
ethnographic assignment due Thursday - shit, I have to talk to a restaurant manager and analyze a freaking clothing store, AND I have to catch up on two weeks' worth of reading

AND I HAVE TO SKIP OUT ON HALLOWE'EN TO WATCH A PLAY FOR ENGLISH!!!!!!! ...... at least it will be a play I actually really want to watch............

Posted by: misoshiru Oct 27 2008, 12:00 AM

i have too much shit to do. the end.

Posted by: dosomethin888 Oct 27 2008, 01:51 AM

I completely understand! I skipped my last nutrition class to study for my A&P Lab test which I should have been studying for BEFORE the night before the test. So, my nutrition class is tomorrow and I dont even know if I had any homework cause I was too lazy to go look at the syllabus. I have a test in my A&P lecture class on Tuesday, but I havent started studying and I havent been paying attention in class.

Im lazy annnnnnnnnnd Im a procrastinator! Someone help me!

Posted by: Gigi Oct 27 2008, 03:45 AM

I finished my online econ quiz with 5 minutes left to spare, like I do every week. I got 9/10.

I'm doing my Philosophy test tomorrow, which is the last available day to do it, and I could have done that test like a month ago. And I also plan to do my next Phil test sometime this week, and because I waited so long to do it, now I have reduced time. Excellent. I don't want to sit there thinking about parse trees or truth-functional statements anyway.

I didn't study for my OB test until maybe 3 days before the day of the exam, and I ended up getting 86. ^_^

My procrastination skills are amazing...

Posted by: miyashu Oct 27 2008, 10:13 AM

i have a class in about 3 hours so i'm just on createblog cause i have nothing better to do.

except that script and the beat sheet and the visual opening/ending (LOL IS IT SAD THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SCRIPT YET.)

and that artist's paper due thursday
and my art therapy midterm on thursday
and 12 youtube videos to watch for global issues

like i said, nothing better to do.

Posted by: kryogenix Oct 27 2008, 10:14 AM

I wake up late for class too much.

Posted by: misoshiru Oct 27 2008, 10:23 AM

I almost woke up late for class today. More like...I woke up 10 minutes before class started.

Posted by: Drama Oct 27 2008, 04:03 PM

I woke up an hour and some odd minuets late, so I just stayed home and ignored the little voice in my head that screams YOUR GOING TO END UP TACKING 5 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL.

Posted by: shanaynay Oct 27 2008, 04:09 PM

Meh whenever I have homework, I just think oh I'll do it later. Then at the last minute I half ass it and get a somewhat decent grade.

Posted by: stephinika Oct 27 2008, 04:43 PM

Fack. My personal life is getting in the way of school...massive project due Wednesday that I haven't started.

Posted by: shanaynay Oct 27 2008, 07:16 PM

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Posted by: misoshiru Oct 27 2008, 09:55 PM

no.





okay. so taking 22 academic credits this semester on top of 2 PE credits was not a good idea. fuck.

Posted by: paperplane Oct 27 2008, 09:58 PM

How do your credits work? I don't think they're the same as hours, are they? I had 17 hours, but I stopped stats so now I only have 13

Posted by: misoshiru Oct 27 2008, 10:35 PM

no. it's just 2 or 4 credits to a class.

so, I'm taking 5 4-credit classes and a 2-credit class.

Posted by: stephinika Oct 28 2008, 03:37 AM

^^
Holy shit.


And no.

Posted by: misoshiru Oct 28 2008, 05:55 PM

f**k. so the past 2 days, I've been waking up 10 minutes before my first classes. I think that's a sign. Not to mention that I have a midterm tomorrow morning.

Posted by: kryogenix Oct 28 2008, 06:56 PM

No matter what I try to do, I can't seem to wake up in time for my accounting class. I have accounting on monday and wednesday mornings, and I have slept in for the past two weeks. Tuesday/thursday, I have no problem whatsoever waking up for. Oh well, kinda funny only going to 6 hours a week rofl and pulling all A's n B's.

Posted by: Gigi Oct 28 2008, 07:19 PM

^ I know what you mean. I haven't been to my Psych class in like 2 weeks. Not that I miss anything...I sleep anyway.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Dec 9 2008, 07:22 PM

Whoa, I just spent about half an hour looking at random places on Google Satellite instead of studying for my econ final tomorrow. =\

Turns out the grass on my yard is the yellowest in my neighbourhood, and there's a hugeass stain on the roof of my high school.

Posted by: misoshiru Dec 9 2008, 07:57 PM

shit. it's almost finals.

Posted by: ForgiveTheSinner Dec 9 2008, 09:21 PM

4 chapters of government questions, vocabulary, and extra reading questions

and lab report due tomorrow and test and a chinese presentation

I think I'll skip school tomorrow.

Posted by: Gigi Jan 19 2009, 01:11 AM

I'd like to bump this topic for the new term.

I have not done a single piece of homework for 2 straight weeks.

I need to read my Accounting textbook because I have a quiz tomorrow and yet I still haven't done so. Although I have taken Financial Accounting previously and have learned all this stuff already, I still really should be reading this so as to get a semi-decent good grade.

f*ck...only 3.5 months left until freedom...just have to work hard for 3.5 months...recite...repeat...and again...

sigh.

Posted by: Flaunted Jan 19 2009, 01:55 AM

Ugh! I have my stats homework due wednesday and I don't even have the book ordered?
Also I might drop one class since I need stats as a background but I have made no effort as to see what other class I can replace it with.

Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh I wish i was more motivated or not so lazy @_______@

Posted by: Gigi Jan 19 2009, 02:29 AM

^ Me too, but it's so not gonna happen

Posted by: salcha4u Jan 19 2009, 04:08 AM

Doing accounting and stats too...sooooooooooo boring. Can't believe it's my major..

Posted by: stephinika Jan 19 2009, 06:18 AM

Should be writing my paper right now. UGH. Its really short (1 page) but its just .... not happening. And its already 3:19am. Godamn. School is a bitch and it hasn't even been a full 3 weeks yet.

Posted by: Joannnnnne Jan 19 2009, 11:26 PM

I don't have any big assignments due or big tests coming up any time soon... but I found out that three of my four classes have fifty thousand important vocabulary words in each chapter. I didn't think I'd mind the psychology ones, but it just takes so long to copy out and memorize them!!!!!!!!

I actually think my favourite course so far this semester is microeconomics.

Posted by: Comptine Jan 19 2009, 11:52 PM

Was suppose to do Physiology reading but I got terrible cramps and passed out.

Posted by: Joanne Apr 17 2009, 01:26 AM

SHIT I JUST REALIZED I ONLY HAVE 5 HOURS TO STUDY 6 CHAPTERS OF OB TOMORROW. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.

Posted by: Gigi Apr 17 2009, 01:51 AM

Well.

That just f*cking sucks. Really truly.

...good luck jones. :(
