Procrastination

This blog is going to be about how I always procrastinate. I am a big procrastinator. I am not bragging about it, but it is the truth. I have been a procrastinator ever since I remember. I think that this has a lot to do with why I am late a lot to classes and different events. This is probably because I wait to the very last minute to leave where I am to get to a certain place. I think part of it is that I love to cut it close. I like to be very close to being right on time. This can be bad and most of the time it is bad. It is because even if I calculate the right time that I need to leave a place to get to a certain destination, I could run into certain things that may cause me to be late. For example, I may run into traffic when I am going to a class. I really need to start leaving earlier to get to my destination so that I will not be late. I am late very often in my classes. It is not good to procrastinate in school. However, it seems as though I work best when I am under the pressure of knowing that I have to finish an assignment at that very instant. This is the same with me writing essays. It seems as though I can write better and be more creative when I wait to the last minute to write an essay. It is very bad for me to procrastinate in some of my other classes. I am taking the second part to general chemistry right now. I have a test two days from now and I still have not started to study for it yet. I will probably wait to tomorrow, which is the day before the exam, to study for it. I am also taking a biology class write now. I have a test a week from now in that class. The test that I am going to take in it is going to be over twelve chapters! These chapters are filled with very in dept information. I have not started studying for this test either yet. I probably will not even start studying for this test until Thursday. The reason for this is because I am not going to study for it tonight because I am too sleepy. I am not going to study for it tomorrow because I have to study for my chemistry test tomorrow. I am not going to study for it Wednesday because I have to go to work and work late after I get home from school on Wednesday. Therefore, I am pretty much forced to start studying on Thursday. Of course, I could have started studying for this test since the first day of school because my professor posts the chapters that she will go over uLearn, but I procrastinated of course. I guess I am doing all right by procrastinating. Of course I could be doing better. I have not made anything lower than a B in any of my classes in college. I guess that is okay. In high school, I did not make anything lower than an A and I procrastinated then also. However, college requires much work than high school and that is why I have not been making all A’s in college like I did in high school with my procrastinating methods of getting work done. Even though I have been doing okay, I still would like to stop procrastinating so that I can get back to making straight A’s like I used to. It is hard to stop procrastinating, but I have to put an end to it once and for all!
