A Cautionary Tale

Hey flower beds,

If you all some day forget about me for one reason or another, I would like to at least offer this piece of advice...

DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!!!!!!!!

Here's what happened. Yesterday, I kept putting off writing my research paper for my Media Law class. I had had almost two weeks to do it but, like I always do, I put it off until the night before. I finally start writing the paper around 7. I get about half-way done when Robby get's back from Indy.

We inquire about our days and Robby asks me what I'm up to for the evening.

"Dude, I gotta write this paper and publish it to the web and blah, blah, blah..."

Robby, for a change, didn't have anything to do. Since we never really get to hang out much, he wanted to go out and drink a little bit for Mardi Gras.

Now, what I should of said was, "Yeah, sorry man. I just gotta get this thing done."

Instead, I rushed through the paper, getting it mostly done, and then Robby and I went out and got pretty tipsy. When we got back, I was in no condition to figure out how to make a website for the sole purpose of publishing my paper. So, in true Nate-O fashion, I wrote myself a note, set my alarm for 6:15 AM, and hit the sack.

Thankfully, I was blessed with the ability to procrastinate well and practically bullshit my way through papers like noboby's business. I consider it a gift and am very grateful.

However, I certainly don't reccomend this course of action for everyone. I know we can all be lazy at times (some more than others), but you better be REALLY good at bullshittin' or else it does you absolutely no good.

Ok, there' my words of wisdom for today. Time to go bomb a test...

Robby: Thanks for pickin' up my beer tab man.

Me: Confuscious say, "Man who procrastinate get nowhere... unless he is really awesome like Nate-O."
