i found that the winning strategy to combat this is to start at around midnight of when it's due. then i can sorta focus, and by four or so i really get serious. works every time.

The internet conspires against you. Notice the calmness of LotE, begging you to post, calling at you to socialize to say anything. But then you can't because there are no topics. No people. No activity. And still it calls, that little voice, like music, sweet sweet music, mellow and unassuming.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

oh u

I generally try to write a page at a time, in between pointless browsing. Take a while, but gets the job done.

lol Wow.
Anyway, it's coming along. It's Friday (today now), but as long as my prof gets it before his arrival on Saturday morning, he considers it on time. But I plan on being done before sleep or at least before tomorrow 4:00PM. :/

however, generally when i do this, it ends being what nyck follows.

I personally write in bursts, though it's less consistent than I like. When the noose is tightening I tend to go at it all at once.

If I did that and was caught, I'd be expelled, so I shall pass.

'Sides, I'm a fair hand at essay-writing.

Nothing quite like finishing an essay just before the bell tolls. The sense of accomplishment is almost worth it.

I usually do mine all at once, a couple days before it's do. It takes me a couple of hours, but I usually watch TV at the same time.

Midnight.

"oh hey I have a 1000 word report to do on this book"

"better start reading"

True story, it's all the reports/essays I had to do when I was in school.

The ones you don't write in a tired and stressed-out hurry the last hours before going school tend to be better, though.

Well I live at school. And didn't finish yet. My mind was dying, so I went to sleep at 2. And good thing, normally when I go to bed my mind wanders. I just shut down and slept gloriously.

I do essays the night they're assigned and then turn them in the next day.

My plan is better because then the teacher knows you put no effort into it and cranked it out overnight, rather than suspects it.
A good conversation is like a skirt, short enough to keep your interest, yet long enough to cover the subject.

I finished this like three hours ago. Only tok about an hour and a half to finish up the second half. And most of that time was spent cutting down stuff I wrote last night to make space for other points and such.

Like... What, did you fold or roll the paper to make an opening, or did you just tear a hole in it?
