You know you’ve got senioritis when you’re not sleeping enough–not because you have too much work to do–but because you just procrastinate that much.

I am a useless ball of procrastination.  I cannot get myself to do anything, and when I do, it is only under penalty of severe sleeplessness.  It’s amazing how good I seem to be at pushing my work further and further back this week.  At the same time, I end up staying late goofing around doing silly stuff on my computer instead of studying.  I’m terrible.

Today I had a short response paper to do and an exam to study for.  Not terrible, but enough that you’d expect me to work ahead of time.  Would I do something so reasonable?  Of course not.  Instead I putzed around until almost 2am before writing half a page, crashing for an abbreviated nap, and dragging myself out of bed to punish myself for my misdeeds.

It doesn’t have to be this way.  Why do I punish myself so?

On the plus side, this blog is getting lots of improvements because I’d rather diddle around on here than do problem sets.  Much rather, in fact.  As a result, I’ve finally made the switch to Technorati tags, started using del.icio.us regularly, and begun using coComment.  I’ve made lots of other behind the scenes changes too, from style sheet tweaks to adding metadata.  I still haven’t labeled all of my Flickr photos, but one of these days I’ll get bored enough that I’ll get there.
