    Default I'll come up with a witty title later....

    I'm a horrible procrastinator. Horrible, terrible, obscene, ridiculous procrastinator. I save semester long projects until about 10pm the night before. I cram for every midterm about 4am before my 9am test. Somehow I still get mostly As. That surprises the hell out of me too!

    Midterms are rolling around in the next few weeks. I don't want to make this mistake again. Its my first semester back at Ridiculously Tough University and I want to change. I'm taking 15 units on a quarter schedule and not working right now but looking for work. (I'm still debating if further dancing, as much as I miss it, will affect my future career now that I've decided on pediatric sports medicine....but thats another story. I'm currently under the radar). Life is pretty easy overall.

    How do I stop procrastinating? I feel I could be so much more productive. If I'm getting decent grades now I can't imagine what I'd be doing if I wasn't such a slacker. I don't really enjoy my major/school but I'm only about a year and a half away from graduating before I can move on to the grad school that I so dearly want to be in. I can't motivate myself to study or prepare for exams or papers. I need to find a way to fix this now before I dig too much deeper into scholastic debt this semester. Any ideas?

    You procrastinator Hatshepsut!

    I'm the same though Kat. I procrastinate for most of my assignments and exams. This weekend was set aside for me to do my 3000 word law assignment and it's Monday afternoon and it's still not done (and barely started) and I've just finished work but still procrastinating on SW and facebook. I usually do well too but I hate being do tired and stressed that I won't finish in time. I can't really help you but I definitely get it
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    I can't help but think back to my 6th grade teacher who warned us that those who sailed through high school would run into trouble in college because they never learned time management or study skills.

    I have no discipline. I almost think I need to do more though. I've become a hermit lately. I only attend class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, although its from about 5am-7pm that I'm gone. I hardly want to go anywhere or do anything after that because I commute nearly 2 hours each way.

    I'm wondering if just having a part-time job would help me get out and about as well as feel the pressure of having to manage my time better. I thrive under intense pressure. Its when I do my best term papers.

    This is ME. I have made about 2 cents an hour from dancing if you count all my SW time. The best suggestion I have for you is to take a close look at how you spend your time and try your best to cut what's not needed.

    I commute nearly 2 hours each way.
    I make the same commute to uni and use the time to study, with the mentality that i would be bored anyway.
    I find it reeeally hard to sit for extended periods of time and study, so i break often.
    I also have to make a daily timetable of my study times and breaks and force myself to stick to it.
    It's difficult, i was one of those people who sailed through high school getting all A's and only studying the night before too but at Uni i just can't do that any more and it only kicked in in my second year really.
    Incidentally i have my third year exams starting next friday and am currently on SW....

    Right now I have to make the drive to class alone which really sucks so I don't think I can read while driving lol. LA public transportation is almost non existant, I live in an area without campus vanpools, and haven't found a carpool buddy yet. I'm hoping next year I'll be moving to an area where I can catch a campus vanpool to class and use the time to study. Hmm, maybe that will help next year.

    Ah,
    probably not a great idea then
    I have heard of people transferring notes to tape and listening to it when asleep (for that subliminal message thing), you could maybe make one for the car.
    But this is one of these things where the time may be better spent actually studying than faffing around making tapes/Cd's.

    Some people just work best under pressure. I'm the same, I have a show on Tuesday and my numbers are only half choreographed but I know I'll pull it out of the bag in time. When I know I have loads of time I just can't seem to muster any energy. Its when I know I'm running ou of time that I do my best work.
