Nobody knows the wreck of a soul the way you do...

If procrastination were an Olympic sport...

I would have several gold medals.

I had to give a huuuuge presentation in one of my biology seminars on Tuesday. I started working decently ahead of time (or so I thought), but apparently I had a little more work cut out for me than I had imagined, so I ended up just not sleeping the night before my presentation. Sitting in front of a computer and putting together a Power Point show about androgen insensitivity syndrome (which is actually a fascinating topic) ALL NIGHT LONG was not high on my list of things to do. I dawdled. I dallied. I spent three hours watching "Will and Grace" DVDs in the duty office of Red's dorm 'cause she's an RA and had to be there.

Other valuable-time-wasting tools are internet Scrabble, Snood, The Bookworm Game, spider solitaire (which, alas, I do not have on my old-ass computer, so I must settle for regular solitaire), and old school Tetris. When push comes to shove, I have been known to avoid certain homework by doing other homework, cleaning my apartment, playing with the cat, washing my car, re-alphabetizing my CDs, etc.

I think I have a problem.
