Procrastination stories

[ed8383]

Finally a thread for all us degenerate procrastinators! Here is one from this semester.

Calculus exam
When it comes to math I am horrible and a degenerate procrastinator (not a good combination i really should focus on this subject). I haven't done a single page of homework at this point. The test is today so I don't show up to class so i can catch up on the chapters. I email the prof telling him i can't come to class, i don't give excuse but i make it a nice sounding email. He replies it is ok and to come tomorrow (final chance), and that he only has 1 class that day and his last class for the week, so I better be there. I only had 1 day to catch up to a whole month's worth or work. This is really bad for my brain and seems a rather futile attempt.

So I go to the college and I go there late! I woke up late, so i got dressed fast, didn't calm my hair, i look dirty as that day was supposed to be my designated shower day, no breakfast and just headed out! I get to the college and guess what, all the parking is full! this place is notorious for parking problems! i spend more than half hour looking for parking. So there I was getting frustrated and agitated looking for a parking spot, with a rumbling stomach from hunger and a failing grade for my exam soon to come. Why do I always do this to myself I asked myself?? My time is running out! I go from 1 parking place in the college to the other. Pushing my luck to the limit has finally caught up to me!

So what can I do with time running out?? desperate times call for desperate measures! I see the carpool section and say to hell with this and I park in between 2 cars (which i thought would make it tougher to spot mine). This test is going to cost me a $40 ticket i thought to myself! I park my car, run like the wind to his office and to my luck he is there! He gives me the test and sends me to a room to make up the exam and to my luck there is nobody there! an isolated make up exam room, perfect for me to use 'extra resources' to pass this test! I was only a few min away from him leaving to teach his class. If he had been in class it would have led to an obvious embarrasing moment of me walking in a class full of strangers, interrupting the class and with me looking like a dirty bum from not showering for 3 days and waking up late.

I take the test, I do well I know it. I leave it in his office. I run to the carpool spots to see if they gave me a
ticket. To my luck there is no ticket! what began as a horrible day turned out to be a very good day!
