I learned my lesson

In my Comp. class last Mon. we were given a few topics to write a 2 1/2-4 page essay on. This essay was due for "review" today and the final copy is due Fri.

I am usually very scheduled when it comes to turning in assignments and being prepared for the next day of class. I planned on getting my "rough draft" of the paper completed on Sat. afternoon or at the latest Sun.

Well, this time I decided that I wanted to "see" how it would be to completely procrastinate and wait until the night before the paper was due to start....and finish it (this is not an unusual occurrence...I know a lot of people that do it this way).

Well, as I found out last night procrastination and Jessica do NOT mix!

I started typing the paper after I got home from work yesterday around 7. I worked on it for just about 2 hours (at this point I'm ok with what is going on ...maybe a little rushed...but I was thinking hey maybe it IS easier to just wait until the last min.)

Just about the time I was thinking that, the paper was almost finished! Then while I was "cutting & pasting" part of the paper I some how deleted 1/2 of the paper! I tried and tried to undo and redo whatever I had done...No good! The bulk of the paper was gone FOREVER!!!

I was soooo annoyed! Why couldn't I just get the paper done at the last minute like everyone else?? It always seemed to me that everyone just did it at the last minute with no problem at all!

Either they all have problems being rushed and completing it in a hurry or I just do horribly "under pressure".

After kicking myself a couple of times I then worked on the paper another 2 hours...and finished it. (I'd just like to add that the paper did not sound better the second time!) It is so hard to remember all the little details after they all get ERASED!

I have decided that I learned my lesson and that I will NEVER procrastinate starting any assignment again. I just don't think the "pressure" helps me at all.

On a lighter note, we got our Stats test back from the other day, and I passed it! I am so glad. I thought that I did ok the day I took it, but I never feel completely ok with it until I actually see my grade!!!

Well, I better go now. It's time to get ready for work!!!

love you all
