kurahadol said:That comes with the joy of paper writing. I am notorious for that. My worst problem is spending a ridiculous amount of time thinking up an introduction for the paper. I will honestly sit there for 2-3 hours trying to get the introduction down and it just won't come. After that I tend to move a lot quicker, but with plenty of distraction in between.
Exactly what I was thinking :lolHolyStar said:She looks at you because she catches you looking at her and she is thinking. What a creepy guy.
I just got home about a half an hour ago (last class ends around 9). It actually went really well. I stopped her after class and asked her "if I could talk to her for a minute". There was a lot of people around (our class just let out) so I said let's go outside for a minute with a corny ass smile on my face (at this point I think she knew what was up). So we went outside and I told her straight up as cool and confident as I could be that she was beautiful, intelligent, stylish, and joked about her "awesome hair" which she laughed at. Then I said we should be friends and get to know each other better and she agreed. We chatted for a few mins about random shit...final exams next week, the investments paper, etc., and I eventually got her number when we were about to go. She asked for mine but I don't have one...my contract literally ended last week, sometime during break. I was supposed to get a Samsung Sway w/ Verizon at Best Buy on Sunday but didn't feel like it, it was raining and just a shitty day. I'm getting it tomorrow tho. Anyway, I told her and she didn't believe me so I showed her my krzr and how it couldn't find a network and we laughed about it. That's about it. 100% true story, I'm not a joke character or anything. She's really somethin else...seriously hot and not gaf hot but really genuinely hot, plus intelligent plus she's got a great fashion sense, always the best dressed girl in the class (i know its kinda metro but its something i look for in a girl)Barrage said:I'm here for the Girl-Age.

That's what I changed from CS to EE. I remember the night I realized that I would spend the rest of my life doing that exact same thing.JavaMava said:I have a huge programming assignment due this friday, midnight.
I have to work 3-9 on wednesday and friday.
The thing with programming is you can literally get stuck. Some bug you can't fix for the life of you, that halts all progress. Something that should have taken 20 minutes, is now an 8 hour expedition.

Think about it... if we were stupid then we wouldn't be able to write a solid paper the night before its due or study for an hour the morning of a test and still get an A or a B. The fact that people can do shit at the last minute and still end up with a good grade tells us to keep doing it. The only solution is to get seriously owned one day... maybe fail a class or get fired from your job by doing a half-assed report on something. Once you feel the consequences of your actions, then you'll finally learn. I'm trying to avoid that...I don't wanna get bent over before I realize I gotta shape up, know what I'm saying...
This is a subject that really could be touched on in psychology...i bet there's been some shit done in terms of psych studies and stuff

kbear said:Due at 7pm tomorrow but I have two other classes before that so basically I just have tonight and a couple hours tomorrow morning to complete it.
It's for my Investments class. We have to write a paper and give analysis on the current economy and then choose a specific industry (like tech or automotive, etc.) and do the same thing for that. Probably like 10-15 pages.
I procrastinate like this every single time I have a monster paper or project. I'll never learn until I get really owned one day (don't finish in time or something). It's just terrible. It's 1:30 am and I haven't even started. Been posting on GAF all night and played Fallout 3 all day. Despicable...I'm absolutely disgusted with myself.
How do you guys deal with it? I'm sure I'm not alone with having some huge assignments due this week, being the end of the semester and all. How do I get out of this awful habit? There must be a way.
