The Art of Procrastination

I'm not sure when I learned the art of procrastination. It must have been when I started school because that's where I procrastinate the most. I can't really decide whether it takes more effort to do the work in the first place and put more work into the assignment because there is time to really think about it, or if it takes more effort to pull something out at the last minute and actually get a decent grade. I wonder sometimes if in fact it is the thrill of having to finish a project in a matter of hours. Really though, I think the art of procrastination comes from a reaction at the thought of accomplishing such a large task. Usually the more I think about a long paper or a project I think about all the work it's going to take and I can't bring myself to start it, until finally, I have no choice. On top of that I happen to be one of those people who wants to start something and finish it all at once. I have a hard time working on something spread through multiple days. Well, so...enough rambling. To procrastinate or not to procrastinate, that is the question...
