Procrastination FTW

I have this problem. Everybody's had this problem at least once in their life. You're not normal if you've never procrastinated. But I'm not sure if everybody has the problem of procrastinating and then hiding the fact you procrastinated, like you just murdered someone.

I have that problem. If I've procrastinated doing my homework, I will wait until no one is around to do it just so that no one knows that I did procrastinate. Sometimes, people just don't go away and I never end up doing what I procrastinated.

I hate that word and how many times I've said it, so I'm going to find a synonym.

My homework assignment that was due last night I haven't done because I put it off until the last possible second. But then Mom was in the room with me, so I couldn't do it at the last minute, which means I put it off for even longer. Now it's late and I'm probably going to get a B, A- if I'm lucky.

I don't know why I do this. It's not like Mom knows my assignment was due last night at midnight and not tonight at midnight. I could tell her that I just forgot or that ANGEL was down, or whatever reasonable lie I can think of (and I can think of a lot) but I hate lying and that's what I would be doing. So I just don't do it.

This is a really bad thing because I'm in college now and delaying homework isn't going to get me that 4.0 I want. In fact, I already botched my 4.0, but not because of procrastination; that was actually because I did my homework on early and then forgot to turn it in. But still, this is a problem.

I wonder if they have a 12 step program for procrastinators like they do for alcoholics and stuff. They should because I would totally benefit from it, as well as all the people I know.

Seriously, who doesn't procrastinate?
