I got an A. granted it was for a philosophy class, which is all bullshit, but I didn't do any research up till that point either. yea. even if i have it written down and don’t forget about it i still put it off till the last minute. i once did a 15 page paper in 3 hours.

I'm focused until I'm done, but I am a definite procrastinator. I do so much better when I have that deadline hovering over my head, and I know there is no way to avoid it. I’m kinda like that….

That worked for awhile, until I realized that I didn't need to take notes in most of my classes. Anyway...I made a spreadsheet and wrote down all of the things I needed to do, and whenever something was do I would schedule the spreadsheet as a scheduled task in windows and the coolest song ever would start playing and open up the spreadsheet to remind me I had things to do...besides fiddle around with my website, which I also am OCD obsessed about...and again...I ramble too much in comments.
