Procrastination! That's where I'm a viking!

[tzikeh]

Man, this paper would have been FUCKING GREAT if I'd started it two weeks ago, instead of the night before it's due.

*headdesk*

*tea*

*self-recrimination*

*another headdesk*

*more tea*

*desperate wish for time machine*

*wonder if printer has enough black ink for all related documents*

*further procrastination by posting to LJ*

*more fucking tea*

*yet another headdesk*

*wonder if "concussion from headdesk" is a valid excuse for not attending class*

*TEA*

SUUUUUUUZE

And it's such an *awesome* assignment -- creating and incorporating writing assignments into a film studies course that *I get to design*!

Whyyyyy did I wait! AUGH. It's looking like 20 pages.... *weeps*

SSSSHHHHHHHHH.

WHY SSSHHHHH??

[misspamela.livejournal.com]

IGNORING MY OWN PAPER. SSSHHHHH.

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAH yeah. I've faced a bit of that lately myself. *headdesk*

YOUUUU CAN DOOOO ITTTT!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

waaaaah....

a) Deep breaths.
b) Caffeine
c) Possibly enlist someone(s) on your flist to proofread for basic grammar/spelling errors. I can't, since I should be WRITING MY OWN SHIT (sigh) but, if it's the kind of thing you can power through a rough draft, mebee?

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not worried about grammar and spelling; I'm worried about the actual fucking lesson plans and incorporation of various types of writing assignments.

Bleah.

I know this state well.

Want. Time. Machine.

I take on the Charlie Brown mantra in Procrastination Time (and PT is my natural, organic state):

If I start writing now
When I'm not really rested
It could upset my thinking
Which is no good at all.
I'll get a fresh start tomorrow
And it's not due till Wednesday
So I'll have all of Tuesday
Unless something should happen.
Why does this always happen,
I should be outside playing
Getting fresh air and sunshine,
I work best under pressure,
And there'll be lots of pressure
If I wait till tomorrow
I should start writing now.
But I if I start writing now
When I'm not really rested
It could upset my thinking
Which is
No good at all.

This is FABULOUS.

Not written by me of course. Forgot to include attribution in my original post. This is part of the song "Book Report" from the 1967 musical comedy You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, music and lyrics by Clark Gesner.

It is the most perfect lyrical expression of "Procrastination Derangement Syndrome" that I know of.

Oh goody, another reason I can't wait to get back to school. NOT THAT I HAVE EVER DONE THIS.

[mirandir.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping that your project was full of adrenaline-fueled brilliance! According to my teachers, I always wrote the best stuff the night before. :-)

This was me my last semester before my BA. This is also likely to be me if I don't get my arse in gear for my Social and Humanistic Aspects of Teaching class.

Tea solves everything though..
