Not Again!

The worst thing about procrastinating here in the dorms is that usually, when you’re ready to work, the internet isn’t. It’s hard enough to motivate yourself to get stuff done, but when the internet is down on top of that, Forget It!

I can’t even express the feeling that you experience when you try click on the Internet Explorer icon the night before a paper is due only for the “Error Can Not Connect” screen to up. The event is actually quite similar to that of being pulled over by the police. It’s the sudden realization that you got caught rushing something that deserves your time and concentration. As your heart drops to that uncomfortable position between your stomach and your butt, a million things run through your head; I should have know this would happen, how bad are the consequences going to be, what kind of excuse can I come up with to get me out of this situation, why me, maybe it won’t be that bad.

You would think that were college students, were smart kids, we should learn from these experiences. Next time we won’t wait until the last minute to write or reports or story. But sadly, it doesn’t work like that; as silly as it is we would rather risk the stress of experiencing such a catastrophe in the future, than do our work ahead of time.
