Just finished my 2,500 word essay, due in before 9 this morning, started 4 hours ago. Spent the past 6 weeks telling myself it wouldn't take long, and the past week doing anything other than work, checking and re-checking blogs I know won't have changed in the middle of the night, hunting down old friend on facebook, with no good reason or chance of finding them, I even took a day off work to get on to it yesterday, only to spend the day mincing about the house feeling miserable about the imminent work, over-eating and resorting to copious amounts of coffee as the deadline ticked ever closer and my will to work remained untriggered until 3:30am….
In my first year of University I lost over 30% of my overall mark due to lateness, taking my mark from a high 2-1 to a fail! But it was ever the case, having never revised in my life, and avoided just about every chore ever asked of me, and avoiding academic work doing pointless chores.
Nice to know that others are happy to jump in to the same boat… 😕
