Like this blog and in most things, I tend toward procrastination. Fifth grade was a bad procrastination year for me and I can pretty much pinpoint that as the time my problem began. I waited till the night before to start reading the book I had a project due on the next day; I never finished another book project that I'd actually read the book for because I ran out of time; I handed another project in when the teacher handed them back to the other students. That was a bad year for my "wait" problem. Fast forward to junior year of high school: it was group project for my chemistry class and as a group we waited till the night before to do it all, we stayed up all night to finish. That was the first of my all-nighters. More were to come in college, about one a semester. Now that I'm in grad school, I'm getting better at managing my "wait". I now, however, have atleast 3-4 all-nighters a semester, not because I've waited till the night before to start working on it, I just have a lot more to do.
