Procrastination

This week I shall be in a state bordering a nervous breakdown. Why you ask? I have a 4,000 word essay due next Monday. 67 words are currently residing in my Word document. Why did I do this? I've been busy. I've not been able to get on the computer. I wanted to go to sleep. I had other homework.

In essence, the usual reasons.

The worst part about this is that I was warned by last year's class to not procrastinate, to finish (or at least start) the thing over the summer. Did I believe them? Yes. What did I do about it? Nothing. I wanted to go on dates and Internet my way through summer; heaven forbid that I actually do work. I feel stupid. My only consolation is that no other kid has finished this essay either. We can all be stupid together.
