It is that time of year again.
You know, I was convinced that among the differences between high school and college, there would also be the absence of that post-Spring Break frenzy of projects, papers and tests that seem to flood in and totally swamp my life. Unfortunately, it seems like I was mistaken. As of right now, I have about five hundred pages of history books to read before my exam next Wednesday, not to mention that five page paper for psychology, the due date for which is fast approaching -- not that I've even picked a topic yet. Then there's my design project, which will be handed in next Tuesday, and which is currently only about one-quarter finished.
In all reality, though, the growing pile of ever-nearing due dates really isn't weighing so ominously against the back of my mind -- yet. Have I really become so desensitized to that niggling guilt that procrastination usually brings? Well, yes -- but I think it's more likely that I know myself so well by this point: I may ignore the due dates for as long as possible, but I consistently get the project or paper completed and submitted for grading in time, although usually at the last minute. Yes, it's a chaotic system, but it works. It's just so much easier to procrastinate about one project at a time, rather than five at once.
Also, there is that little matter of the fan fiction in progress, which consumes a good deal of that time I could use to make headway through the load of aforementioned schoolwork. Yeah, yeah, priorities... whatever. Is it really so bad that I'd rather write than study or read for history? Even if what I'm creating is, in my opinion, pitiful dreck, I'd still rather be thinking and typing at the computer than researching in the library or over at the art building.
Oh, well. In any case, I'm going to have to do a schedule readjustment over the weekend, and get my school life in order. Anyone can procrastinate, but organized procrastination requires talent, you know.
