I wish this wasn't my best talent. I am professional at procrastinating.
However, I recently discussed with a friend that procrastinating can be good. You see, I'm awesome under pressure. I get things done, and I get them done well. So basically, I'm creating situations for myself where I can succeed...by procrastinating. Really though, I'd rather just wait until the night before, and have one long block of working on a paper. If I don't, instead I'd have to break it up into small chunks of time and change my mind a million times. That sounds horrible. Right? Yeah, I'm just going to convince myself that it's normal.
It would be nice to get everything done ahead of time and have a lot of time to myself. (Time to myself? What does that mean?) I could take my time at the gym, play the piano more often, start knitting...etc. If I didn't procrastinate my huge research paper until this weekend (because let's be honest it won't get done until Saturday night) I could have a lot more fun this weekend. But will I? No. I'll be boring. And I'm going to plant myself in my room with a big bowl of popcorn, and write it. I'm determined to succeed.
...and I'm still writing this blog post. I could have gotten an awesome start on my paper. Oh well, procrastination it is.

WAIT!!!! you cannot do your paper this weekend. THIS WEEKEND OF ALL WEEKENDS? do it tonight, monica!!!!! (she says in a non-bossy way)
such is life, muh dear. I hate procrastination but it looooooves me. And really, writing is always at its best at three in the morning. (I'm procrastinating making a movie right now or "taking a break").
I really don't believe this weekend will be boring! Al contrario!
