I am the epitome of procrastination. I am horrible. I hate it. I know I do it, yet I can’t resist. I have been trying so hard to change my ways over the past year; I think to myself Just do it now, then it’s done and over with. But do I? Nope. Hardly ever. I try and always have the same thought; I have tons of time. Do I? Nope.

Christmas is about 2 weeks away. I have more shopping done then I have in previous years, but still I am struggling to get done earlier then Christmas Eve. I don’t want to be at WalMart on Christmas Eve taking the scrapings home to wrap for my family (even though I am pretty good at picking the better looking shit instead of the shitty shit), there has to be a limit. And in my defense.. the WalMart days were back when I was in college and I was just soooo busy with drining homework that it had to wait to the very end.
There have been years that I have even waited until AFTER Christmas to buy for those that I know I won’t be seeing before. *Tsk, tsk* So bad.

But my procrastination is not just a Christmas thing. It’s all year, and takes over every single little part of my life. I will procrastinate even stopping for gas, I will practically coast on fumes so I can get to my destination without having to stop. I did this today. I swear, I have a 50L tank, and I had to fill about 49.5L.
What’s the sense in that? So I can push my car, or walk to a gas station? Brilliant if you ask me. But you didn’t.

One thing that I did great on this year. I had an Abstract for a paper for work done on time - the day of.. only to find out that the deadline’s been delayed by a month for the other procrastinators. There is a God!! I am NOT the only one!
Is the abstract submitted yet though, you ask? Nope. Still sitting on it.

I have delayed paying for parking tickets only to pay more in the long run, I have been late on assignments for school so many times I can’t even remember; I have stayed up many-a-nights all night to start and finish a paper that was due in the morning.

I just can’t shake this habit. I think it’s with me for life. If I can’t beat it, I guess I have to manage it. But how? How the hell do you get a grasp on something like this? I will have to find out. Later.
