This cartoon is a complete description of my life......
I have only just finished writing my essay. I started it on Saturday, made a bit of progress on Sunday, and then spent the entire day today ~ with the expected interruptions of laundry, bed making and sustenance like lunch and dinner ~ finishing it.
This is what I do. I receive an assignment and then procrastinate. The result is that I get it done, but not without gnashing of teeth, and wondering if I should call in sick the next day as I keep hitting road blocks. Or writers block.
At least I don't have to take a vacation day to finish it.
I don't do this when I have exams, so I perplex myself on why I do it with writing assignments. In some respects I think my writing somewhat improves when the deadline is looming. But I think that the real reason I've procrastinated this time is that I have problems understanding what this instructor wants. She's made some improvements, but it will take some time for her to be clear in her presentations. Oh well. It's done. I just wanted to crow about it a little......
Love, 365
I do my best writing when I MUST get something written, whether an assignment (took a writing class or two) or for work.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're done with yours. :)
Me too. It was painful.....
DeleteHope you get a good grade on it and nothing wrong with crowing about it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And thanks for stopping by ~ hi!
DeleteI do my best work when I procrastinate and then feel the pressure to get it done.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you did well.
I'm not sure how well it went, but it's done. I re-wrote my thesis statement and managed to send it just before the deadline. Sheesh.
DeleteI tried to leave a comment this morning, but for some reason it did't post. Blogger is doing some wacky things.
ReplyDeleteI gave some sage advice that I learned in graduate school. I don't remember what I said. This I know for sure, I had a mini term where I had to read five book. One of them was Grapes of Wrath. I had NO time to procrastinate.
I'm not sure if that's what the instructor was trying to teach, but it was the most important thing I learned in that class.
Sit down. Write one sentence. Then another.
**I have had the same issue on comments, but only when I'm using Safari. Weird.
DeleteWith most everythincouple more weekg else I prepare in advance. It's only the writing that I seem to procrastinate on. But I will happily take the advice of a writer!
Glad you are all done and hope you get a great grade. I haven't been in school in almost 20 years now so I can't even remember what kind of habits I had when it came to my homework but I am guessing I probably was a lot like you.
ReplyDeleteYes, I should have gone to school 20 (or more) years ago when I had a lower bullshit meter.......
