[Random Thoughts] What are your prized moments of procrastination?

[Indecisive]

We all know that gamers are lazy fucks, and leave shit to the last minute.

See example: Me.


So, what are some of your moments of procrastination that made you smack yourself the day after.



Last tuesday I stayed up till 3am doing this huge ass scrapbook thing for AP US history that consisted of 20 pages of text and 20 pages of pictures.


A few months earlyer, I was in the lazy fuck group for another history project, and we started it the night before it was due. It was apx 6 pages of text, that we had to be very specific from, from around 50 pages of textbook.

Those are my two most memorable at the moment. What are some of yours?

Well... every week my english teacher has us read an article or story and then we have to summarise the article/story in a 2 page essay... Of 9 this quarter I have done 3 and they are due Thursday...

EDIT:ELABORATION: They are actually DUE the Wednesday after they are assigned (usually on a Friday) but... well I havent turned one in one time...

Back in 8th grade, I had to do a project on aerodynamics in paper airplanes. It was a PowerPoint and oral report deal, we had a month to do it. The night before, I pulled a fast 15-minute special effects-laden PP file, and completely ad-libbed my report (facts and all). I got a 96.

:rofl:



Now that's procrastination!

[Spee]

Forgot my theatre paper was due. Told my teacher via phone that "Hey, Im doing the biography of **** foley(AKA Mankind)" and he says "Cool." so, I do. And by "Do" I mean "Copy/paste form a shitty geocities website"


I got a 95.

I often end up writing 10 page papers 5 hours before they're due and get "A"s on them. Never considered myself a good writer either, but since it's usually history papers I do just fine since I know my stuff.

Tomorrow I've got a 4 page paper, 1 page synopsis, and 15 minute presentation due at 0930 tomorrow, along with studying for a ground lab stage test at 1530, and another test on Aviation Legistlation Tuesday. I've been playing Planetside since I got home from work though.

This quarter in biology we had a 'zoo packet'. Which is accompanied by a trip to the zoo. However, since I didn't get a C in the last quarter I couldn't go. So I got the 'homebound' packet, which is almost the same. Anyways, I didn't start working on it till 2 days before it was due. And even then, I didn't do much. But, my friend did :). So I just slapped my name on his, and got all the points(worth about half the quarter).

completing principles of microeconomics (the entire course mind you) in under 3 weeks. simply because I waited to the last minute. basically it was a distance learning course (means I didnt have a class to show up to, could do it from my computer) and we had 11 chapters to do (book work and tests) with no due dates.. very very very bad idea for someone as lazy as me.

so basically i waited untill the final 2 weeks before the semester ended to do just about the entire class... yea i got an A... maybe i should switch majors... :doh:

Just today is the most memorable atm.

I have an ASL (american Sign Language) project due tmrw. So for this project, we have to learn how to, and then videotape ourselves signing the book "If you give a mouse a cookie" and my teacher grades it.

I started around 6 PM.
Looks good enough I suppose. I hope to at least get a C

A very recent example -

Once I was supposed to start a mini-compost pile inside of a glass bottle. We were supposed to turn in a detailed list of everything that went into the heap at the beginning of the one-month long project, which I so eloquently made up. I didn't get any compost pile started at all. At the end of the month, we were supposed to bring in our bottles and note the state of decay of all our objects. The night before, I went into my backyard, got some dirt and put it in the bottle. The next day I said, "Would you look at that! All my stuff decayed!". I believe I got a 95% or a 96%.

I have a project where you need to buy a seed and take pictures and make a log entry every other day for 14 enteries total and I only have like 6 pictures and it's due next week and I hate having to make up all the stuff because it's hard :(.

2 hours until paper/presentation is due. Haven't even begun writing the paper, been up since 0500 procrastinating by watching last night's Simpson's episode and reading NTSB accident reports and CVR transcripts.

[Diviant]

I had a 20 page research paper due on video game/media violence that I did the night before it was due. Ended up w/ only like 13 pages and got a pretty bad grade.

Also, every history chapter we have to outline it from the book, I do it really the period before history and I call it my special "condensed" version. Kinda funny actually, seeing all the kids in my class do like 10 pages when I only come in w/ like 3 and still get an A.

Did my 6 page term paper the day before it was due.

[Onizuka-GTO]

I knew i had an exam coming up last friday, but it was my worse subject, and to make it worse I haven't really been to many of the tutorials since most of them were in the early hours and i was too lazy to get out of my nice warm bed. So at the end i didn't even manage a single glance at my book or notes (or what little amount i had) and went to the exam. :rolleyes:
Lets just say i was out that room the minute the alloted mandatory sitting hour was up, with the test paper in my hands for the inevitable re-exam.... :(

i finished my term paper at 4 am today.. woke up for school at 6

[scarpas]

[Wraithlord]

yes we are lazy fucks aren't we...

I have too many memorable procrastinations to list, and they always bug me because a I have a mnuemonic memory, I would say the best one is currently happening, My senior project paper (10 page research paper thing) "is" due....about 2 weeks ago, but it isnt graded untill you turn in a "Mentor verification form" where the guy who helped you with your project signs a piece of paper that says you put in 20+ hours of work on this deal.

Problems

1) I have no mentor.
2) I have told my teacher that my mentor is currently working in Colorado to buy myself time, and told him my mentor would be back the 27th.
3) I cannnot work on it until the 26th. (no home computer until then)
4) I thus far have completed 1 page of this paper over the course of 6 months.

The only thing I have going for me is my l33t forging skills honed through countless times of faked hall passes and excuses for getting out of school. However, I now have about 15 hours to write 9 pages about something I have come to hate.
