Master Procrastinator

Sorry about today's article being late, folks. Yesterday I was out of town, but I did have access to a computer. But, naturally, I put off the update all day, until I got home at 11:00 PM! That left me with only an hour to update my site before Sunday ended. And wouldn't ya know it? Something was wrong with the server! Some of you may have noticed that my site was down last night. Well I also couldn't connect to upload my update, so I decided just to write it today.

Doesn't it always seem like things go wrong only when you procrastinate? Like servers will only have down time when you were planning on updating at the last minute. Like teachers who will add a couple more topics to your report - only if you have no more than a week left to do the whole thing.

The worst part about procrastination is that it makes me feel horrible, but it's all my fault. I can't really complain about it, because I could have updated my site all day yesterday. But I didn't. Nothing I can do now. Also, even though procrastinating makes me feel bad, I always do it! No matter what! At the beginning of every semester I tell myself, "OK, this time I'm going to stay on track. I'm going to get my homework done when I get it, so I can have fuller days and less stress." And every semester, that plan lasts for about a week. Then I start having mostly boring days, interrupted far too often by extremely bad days full of homework.

I can honestly say that I don't understand it. I really don't know why I wait 'til the last minute with almost everything I do. Is it human nature? Anyone have any ideas?
