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.

I think we're all going through that right now sad.gif

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. ><
Gigi
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

Like

HOW THE f**k DID I GET 27 POSTS TODAY?
Joanne
I am playing Minesweeper right now.
Gigi
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?
Joanne
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!

Hard to study, when Tung is around. eyebrowes.gif

Trust me, I understand completely....I'm on here and watching anime. ermm.gif Gah. I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO WTF.
DoubleJ
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.
Melissa
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!
paperplane
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.
Gigi
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.
Melissa
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!
paolabear20
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.

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

><
Joanne
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.
Melissa
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.
Gigi
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.
Joanne
^ 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?
Gigi
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
Joanne
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT

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

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

woot, I R AWESOME.

:D
Joanne
^ 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!
Melissa
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!
Melissa
OMG I AM FINISHED!
Joanne
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

Gigi
I think I aced my OB midterm

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

hi-C
Is OB organic bio?
misoshiru
i'm f**ked. D:
freeridefight
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
paperplane
oh my god, how is it almost 1:30??
Gigi
LOL. I'll manage...

Carrie, OB stands for Organizational Behaviour. They may as well rename the course as "Common Sense for Evil Businesspeople".
Joanne
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?
Gigi
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?
Joanne
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. pinch.gif
Gigi
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.
stephinika
^^
Yeah...uni does that. I hate it.
Joanne
^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!!
Gigi
'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

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