Procrastination At Its Finest

For the past... (checks time) 26 hours, I have been holed up in a room with Anne, Emily, and (for some of it) Aliena.

The reason? Well, Anne now has a private room, so we decided to have a sleepover in Anne's room (yes, it's all of three feet away, but who's counting?) Emily, Anne and I watched a movie (Taken - I recommend it, Liam Neeson is a BEAST) and ate popcorn and hung out. And then today... we spent all day writing our four-page papers for Honors Rhetoric.

Well, let me rephrase that. Anne, Emily, and Aliena busted out their laptops and wrote papers.

I, however, curled up on Anne's couch with a box of Cheezits, a bag of gummi bears, a can of Mountain Dew, and Anne's Nintendo DS. Life is good. Aliena finished her paper and Anne and Emily are about halfway through theirs. I haven't even started mine. But who cares? I'm now halfway finished with Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. (Yes, I'm a nerd. So shoot me.) Tomorrow I'll write my paper. And I'll get an A. I have this procrastination thing down.

Exhibit A: Two years ago in AP English we were supposed to read Machiavelli's The Prince. (Key word: 'supposed'.) The day before our big project was due, I realized I hadn't read it, and who was I kidding - I wasn't going to. I asked Becky for a summary, she gave it to me, I did the project, and got a 98%. Becky's grade? 94%.

Don't tell me I'm not a good student :)
