Well, it has been a while since I have been forced to sit at my desk and study for the better part of a weekend. And it seems while it is hard to relearn this particular skill, the skill of procrastination remains one that is difficult to unlearn.
It is amazing the number of must do’s that appear when you are looking at a weekend stuck in your room with a Statistics book. This weekend there was indescribable pleasure found in cleaning the bathroom, washing my clothes, frequently checking my clothes to see if they were dry, I even considered ironing my sheets. However, none of these tasks generated nearly as many minutes and hours wasted as the Internet.
I discovered that I was not alone. I found any number of definitions of procrastination. There is a plethora of web-pages dedicated to surveys to test how much of a procrastinator you are, even a procrastinators anonymous site which offers teleconference opportunities to further discuss this habit.
While I think I managed to cram enough information into my head to get through the exam, these hastily acquired knowledge and skills will be lost. However, I am sure in the coming months I will have further opportunity to develop and deepen my skills in the art of procrastination.
