A Lesson in Procrastination

My one and only class today, Japanese, was cancelled due to our teacher having caught the flu bug, so I had six whole, glorious hours in which to write that essay I'd been procrastinating on for the past week and a half. And as the minutes ticked on, I thought about my essay, outlined it, opened up a fresh word document and... suddenly my six hours were up. Oops...
Unfortunately, procrastination is something that plagues a lot of college students. I blame my parents. They're both huge procrastinators, so putting things off is hard-wired into my genes. But luckily there are a couple workshops offered for free at Beloit's learning center that focus on time management ie how to *not* procrastinate. (Gee, I should take some of my own advice, huh?)
I have to survive the rest of this week, though, because parent's weekend is on the horizon and even though my own parents won't be making an appearance, my friends' parents will which means being temporarily adopted for the weekend (ie Sunday dinner won't be Jimmy John's again).
Well, it's off to finish (or rather start) that essay of mine.
