So!
Awesome and amazing little... person that I am, I just wrote a two-and-a-half page essay in the space of... forty-five minutes. And it's due at six p.m. tonight. I'm pretty thrilled with myself, even though this isn't the first time I've skated by the deadline with awesome work like this.
Discuss, if you will:
-things that you postponed to the last minute
-things that you excel at
-the wonders of procrastination
-how awesome I truly am for doing all three above-mentioned things
-pretentiously long forum post titles

Writting? Okay.
We're talking deadlines. Got anything interesting?

I usually just make s**t up and since I have a +4 in Diplomacy it seems to work.

Easy way to win over English teachers; study them to find out what they like in writing and use it.

Usually my stuff is too short so I just bull around for the last page or 2 and hope I don't get called on it.
Also, last year I did a 6 pg literary analysis on a book I didn't read, got a 94 on it too...
I luv when stuff works out like that. heart

I've crafted myself a pretty good skill in deadline essaying. I do my best writings in limited time.

Hi. I am new. Anyways... I do best when I have a long time to do things like essays. I do not like writing in a small span of time..
I do well in almost every class..except my AP United States History class. And by bad, I mean a high B.. Which is bad for me.. because it is terrible to my parents..

Hello! I'm new here as well and I have a lot of things I procrastinate for. I wrote a 3 page English essay the morning it was due, and I think I got an A on it or a B+. I excel when I procrastinate. I do my best analysis writing under pressure and at the last minute. Another thing I procrastinated for was this math project I had that I had to research for and write a paper on. I also had to do a poster for it, and I did it the morning of, 2 hours before I had to go to school exactly, and my project/presentation was the best in the class.

I hates writing. I never can put on paper what i'm trying to sayy. frustrating is a good word for it.

I hold off roleplay replies, writing/drawing things I want to get to, practicing my music, and various bits of schoolwork. C8 I'm a horrible person.

I should be doing homework right now, as a matter of fact.

I procrastinate like that often...in fact we have a project back in my old high school in English class (most teachers do it) that's called a Senior Scrapbook. You basically go over what you did through your 4 years of high school. I basically half-assed it. I did it the night before, bought a scrapbook, drew everything. (no assignments from class or anything like we were supposed to do) Then I got a A 8D Apparently I did a pretty damn good job.

i'm really good at writing, but it depends on the topic. I remember typing a 2 page paper and i was just making stuff up, it only took me like an hour, and got an A+ while almost everyone else in my class didn't do it.

There's this girl in my English class. She's first in our class. (2011) She's the kind of person who has everything finished the day that it's assigned.

We had this 100 point paper that we had two months to do. She had it done by the first week, editing, writing, etc. constently. I wrote the entire paper the night before it was due. I recieved a 86%. She recieved a 79%. It was great (for me anyway).

I've never scored below a 90% on a paper before in my life. =[

I procrastinate like it's my job. x_x Really, I wish it was my job because I'd totally do it for a living. 3nodding I put everything off until the last minute. Well, except for some things: I'm never late for anything, I'm always early. Which is weird. But I think every single essay/paper I did in high school was done at the last minute and completely BS-ed. xd

Interestingly enough, my parents are the same way. I was 1 point off of an A in AP World History, but my parents (mom in particular) thinks that it'll ruin my GPA. Also of note is that it was only for 1 grading period and our GPA is affected by the average of two periods (I got an A the next period).

In any case, I'm best in math and science, but I have a hard time writing a decent essay for English or history, especially when timed. I do any math homework I have in the thirty minutes from the time I get to school to the time the first bell rings. I can't stand taking notes for history because it involves reading too much of the textbook. I pretty much always write essays the night before they're due (my eighth grade research paper took till 2 in the morning), which is about the same for any large project I get. I usually do great on them, but I regret procrastinating, even though I keep on doing it.
