Being Late

Yesterday was my birthday, and no, you didn't need to get me anything. A card would be nice. Maybe a little cash inside? Anyway, I digress. Yesterday was my birthday, and I was supposed to go to dinner with my family at four. I was allowed to sleep in and meet them at the restaurant later. Sounds good, right? But unfortunately, I was late. To my own birthday dinner. I was late because I made the mistake of setting my alarm early enough so that I had around four hours to get ready. Now, most people would think the more time someone has to get things done the better. Not so much in my case. Whenever I have ample time do get something done, I always treat it as though I have all the time in the world and it either never gets done or it gets done in a hurry. I was late to the dinner by about 20 minutes, left the house without a shower, went in with a badly wrinkled shirt, but managed to have a great and memorable day with my family. It's not that I fail to see the logic behind getting things done early, I just enjoy my lifestyle far too much to give it up.

So, here goes...

Hello, and welcome to my page! The topic I have chosen for my blog is procrastination. I believe it to be the most appropriate topic because it's what I know the most about. I've been doing it for years and years. I'm a pro. Even now, this being my first post, I'm probably the very last person in the class to get things started. But, this doesn't mean I won't get my work done, just that I will be getting it done last second. I work well under pressure, and I am at my best with the threat of failure looking me in the face. I've had my fair share of run-ins with failure, and I am told that I will never learn from my mistakes if I don't change my habits. They are probably right, but as for now, I can settle with getting my work done barely on time and enjoying the lifestyle of "I'll get to it tomorrow".
