Just Do It!!!

Hello,

I'm only on this site because I don't want to write my essay. Actually, make that "can't write" my essays. I have this really awful, awful, horrific trait where I'll put off completing coursework till the last minute. My parents should have christened me "Procrastinator Extraordinaire!" If I'm consistent about anything, I'll consistently hand work in late; plus, needless to say I also have a bad habit of turning up late to appointments, etc.

So, here I am thinking that if I simply type anything down, I'll feel more inclined to start and (hopefully) finish my work. I had a similar thought last week that if I started typing anything, even if it was fiction, I could progress to the actual coursework and started a short story; I've managed the first 5 lines of a story to date.

The work is due soon and I know that I will fail. I know what to do to overcome my problems, but there's something in me that refuses to change the pattern. It's rude and inconsiderate to the people whose time I waste (or abuse), but no amount of self-disgust and promises of reform lead to any constructive changes. I feel the need to start something, but once I get in front of the computer I become mesmerised by the amount of inconsequential information provided by the worldwideweb. And there I go, over the blue yonder...

So, here I am, writing nothing that can't be written next week. Hmmm.
