So, the essay questions for this assignment are actually pretty easy... who knew?

If only I had actually read this little sheet of paper before procrastinating and putting this assignment off to the point where it's 2 months overdue.

well i had a history essay technically due on the 6th of October... but my lecturer said it didn't really matter when she marked them and she would ignore the uni's mandatory 2% mark a day loss for lateness. epic win right there. so of course i could have finished it a few days after the due date, but i finished it today. mmm procrastination without consequences...

hehehee my SWATVAC for exams has turned into "Lets procrastinate about absolutely everything" time. Thank goodness my SWATVAC ends up being almost 2 weeks long...

As far as procrastinating goes...

I was attempting to finish an essay last semester when I spent 6-8 hours procrastinating... when it was due like 4 days later and I had a whole lot of other stuff due. I ended up going to bed at 4am the day it was due... and getting up at 6:30 to get to uni for a 9am 3 hour lab... FUNZIES!!

Haha... not as bad as the all nighter I pulled last semester though.... Turned up to a 9am lab looking smashed without the slightest drop of alcohol or illegal substances in my body... then went home and finished another assignment. I handed it in an hour before it was due. Hooray for just scraping in an on-time jobby.

haha, nice work, though 4 days before is before my provrastination time has usually begun. Back in year 9 I was still putting off doing a history assignment 3-4 months after it was due. I wish I could stay in the lazy days of school forever, but I guess some sort of contribution to society is probably a good idea.

Urgh, I know what you mean about the whole procrastination thing. I have two essays due next week and neither of them is anywhere near finished. Sigh. Goodbye weekend.

ahh procrastination is not a good thing. i have an exam tomorrow that i havent even studied for. YIKES

ahh but i am also the worst person to finish assignments. although i always seem to manage to get them in on time i always seem to leave them til the night before. this semester i had two major assignments due in two days
i got no sleep for like the three days around when they were due. i looked like a zombie. ahh but the best bit was getting distinctions for both of them. ahhh i think that is a bad thing, it wont stop me from doing assignments at the last minute in the future

My best effort assignment wise is handing something up at 4:50 due at five. Group assignments suck. Our faculty has a 10%/day penalty too: burn.

I must admit I've never handed in an assignment late, at uni... High school was a different story, I handed nothing in on time! But with uni...there have been a few all nighters... which I spend most of the time on msn bitching to certain friends about my inevitable failure. But then I surprise myself sometimes. Apparently I do my best work when I'm rushing, dead tired and all I can think about is the relieving feeling when you print it out and you're like...oh thank god for that.

Does any one else think procrastination sounds dirty?

If I'd never heard what it meant, and didn't do it so often, I'd probably think it was dirty. I reckon most long and/or technical words ending in tion sound kinda dirty.
