Hmm, procrastination is okay, but pondering is not... No really, I don't subscribe to the SGH bashing
But what did the Chinese do to get their whisper name?

I'm avoiding going upstairs. And odd thing to procrastinate for, but you see there are spiders upstairs. In the bathroom. And I don't feel like scaring myself into a heart attack so I will stay down here, thank you.

It's going to be a long night.

I'm procrastinating doing two papers, and studying for two exams!

Oh... uh... right...

I'm procrastinating about two essays and a practice exam paper. I told myself I hadn't been to the moot in a while so I had to see what was going on. I had to. No choice in the matter

Now I'm wasting time wondering how everyone managed to spell procrastinate correctly when it must be one of the worst words to get right...

And whether this thread will get closed before or after I post...

Got back early from a workshop and if I can only procrastinate long enough, it won't be worth going in to the office.

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with "c"

I believe I told you the answer in the dedicated thread. Spammer

I'm supposed to using my time in chenistry class to work on my culminating project for my QSR porfolio, or studying, or something. But I've been in this science room since nine, and this class doesn't end till one in the afternoon so I feel quite justified taking the time to procrastinate.

Play lines to refresh, Model UN to prepare for (that's tomorrow!) a Chem writeup due (except I'll be skipping at Model UN) and a Language Arts paper due.
And I'm mooting. God, that addiction was fast.

Surprisingly, and unusually, I haven't been procrastinating much today at all. Lately I've had a healthy balance of Working-My-Butt-Off and Slacking-Off/Doing-Things-I-Like, which is good. Ok, maybe I am procrastinating a little by not doing the research I intended to do by going online, but it's 11 pm, give me a break.

I should be packing up. But I'm not. I'm mooting. Go me.
