Proscratination

Well, it''s very simple.
Don''t visit the Lounge.

Almost everybody posting here, if not everybody, is procrastinating doing something. That''s why you get all the senseless bullshit.

You know, that''s come up enough times that it deserves an entry in the forum FAQ, along with an explanation of how to do it.

I''ve got some tips, but I''m pretty swamped. I''ll fill you in tomorrow sometime. Or the day after.

About time someone got around to posting a reply like that.

I''m procrastinating on a school assignment. I have to answer a lot of questions about a book. So far I have 1,440 words, and I''ll probably quintuple it by the time I''m done.

I was going to procrastinate today, but I figured it could wait till tomorro.

I have one paper that is 3 weeks late and another that is 1 week late, and yet another due in a week... I have yet to start any of them. I think I have the same problem, just much worse.

I''m WAY too busy doing nothing to reply to this thread...

It''s the same all over the world. Students everywhere have assloads of papers to hand in, and we''re all too busy surfing the web, or looking out of the window.

I mean, shit man, looking out of the window isn''t something that can be picked up quickly. It takes practise...

What''s slick is spending half your time on GDNet, blowing off homework and projects, getting a mediocre GPA, almost never staying up late while your friends work their asses off, and still getting into a better college than them. Oh yeah.

Its pretty funny actually, im part of an ''honours'' group at college and like 2/3 of the class are like that. People that are ''smarter'' (I use the term very loosely), often work a lot less to achieve a better result. With all the bad habits from high school of not doing anything, most of us relie on pure talent to make it through, and every day before we have to give in projects, almost the whole class is on Messenger till about 2-3 in the morning... I don''t know about you, but we usually get it done...
