the organized procrastinator

as i sit here on a saturday evening, i think back to what i got accomplished today...well, nothing. i hate days like this! you see, i am a person that will only get things done when it is down to the wire (i am pretty sure this is in the moore family genetics) i have a test on tuesday that i need to study for, but heck, that is 3 WHOLE days! i have a paper i need to write for a class, i have the time now, but hey, i can just write it in the hour break that i have before the class just like i normally do. i have another, longer paper that is due in a few weeks, but c'mon, i can't even imagine doing that now! the problem with this attribute is that it hasn't seriously burned me yet. all my papers are done on time, and i am happy with them, but i usually am up until 2:00am writing them. this is a small price to pay for the ability to put off things until the last moment. i guess you could call me an 'organized procrastinator.' it has been funny to date holly as she is quite the dedicated student. she will study for days on a test that is a week away. this is bad for me because i know i should probably do the same. she says that it is just because she isn't as smart, so she needs to work harder. what a laugh. a very nice laugh, but a laugh nontheless. so, as i sit before you having to draw the male reproductive system by wednesday, i think, "hmm, that won't take much effort," and it isn't due until wednesday! ah, finally, a false sense of 'thinking ahead' organization that i can enjoy through the weekend until i arrive on monday realizing that i am 5 steps behind everything.

Ha! Holly not as smart. As if.

Does she read this by the way?

I have the procrastinator gene as well, so our kids have no hope. Sad, sad.

Don't you enjoy drawing the male reproductive system? That sounds so fun.

I hear ya brother! It's super weird to hear your own traits described by another person about him/her self. I can't understnd why I can't do something in advance. Scary.
