I'm lacking ambition to type a ten page Sociology paper.
It's to nice outside! It's 84 degrees F here in MN and sunny!

I had all semester to type this damn paper up. Why do I always wait until the last possible minute? :cry: :(

"All work and no play makes jack a dull boy"

over and over again

3. I feel your pain
I have a 20 pager due tomorrow. I've taken the past two days off work to finish it, and I'll probably take tomorrow off, too. I'm about halfway done, but quickly losing my motivation. I find my standards are dropping the closer I get to the end. ("Is that statement actually true? Aw, fuck it. Just finish!")

I know the sooner I get it done the sooner it will be done and I can start enjoying the summer, but damn if it isn't difficult. I guess I should get back to it....maybe some dinner first.

Good luck!

5. been there, done that
As a rule it is always better to start early, yet nobody ever does.
However, under the assumption that you know how long you will need for the paper, waiting to the last possible moment is the most effective scheduling algorithm (that is easily provable).

7. I took an "Incomplete" in a class one time because i couldn't get the
darn paper typed. This was before PC's. Finished the course the next semester and got my grade.
