"  I am the queen of procrastination. It&amp;#039;s been a bad habit of mine for as long as I can remember. Every year I start out with doing the homework the day it was assigned, and that usually lasts a couple weeks.  Before coming to college, I thought that maybe it would go away and I would become responsible, because I wouldn&amp;#039;t have any time to put off my work. It turns out that I had so much more time to do my homework considering I had one or two classes a day, on only Monday through Thursday.  As I&amp;#039;m typing this my mom just walked into my room and is telling me, &amp;quot;Lauren, you have two baskets over flowing with laundry; when are you going to do it?&amp;quot; And I just went on to say I never have time...which is a complete lie and we both know I&amp;#039;ve had two weeks to do it!  This year one of my finals was to write a seven-page paper. I thought I would be productive and start on it a week early, but I only got about a page done and I kept using that as an excuse to not do it as the days passed. I finally got to the night before and couldn&amp;#039;t successfully tell myself that I already had some of it done...because it was due the next day!  I ended up doing well on it but that&amp;#039;s just luck. I&amp;#039;ve done a seven pager before and ended up with a bad grade. I swear it depends on if the teacher&amp;#039;s in a good mood that day. It would be much easier for a happy teacher to give out an A. With the Internet being so easily at my fingertips (my laptop sleeps on my bed with me) it&amp;#039;s hard not to get distracted and put off the assignment for the next day.  I&amp;#039;m constantly checking my email and FaceSpace (ha). So right now I don&amp;#039;t have a solution for it, I just have to learn to deal with it I guess and not let it control my life. If any of you have miraculously found a cure for procrastination, please, please tell me. Thanks! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
