HAHAHAHAHA this is me... FOR SURE!!!!

this is one of the types of procrastinators

Crisis Makers

Most of us do our best work under some kind of time constraint. A crisis-maker goes out of the way to create drama, going from one behavioral extreme or the other. He underreacts to a situation, " I can’t get started until I feel the pressure", then overreacts with a big shot of intense work to meet the deadline. That self- aggrandizing style of operating is a young man’s game. You can drive yourself to the edge with relative impunity in your 20’s and early 30’s, but after a while, your body doesn’t want to run of adrenaline anymore. A pot of coffee and a bag of Oreos don’t deliver quite the jolt it once did. And meeting deadlines in the real world isn’t heroic; it’s routine.

Solution: A lot of these guys are shocked when I tell them chaos is not mandatory. Sapadin says, " it never crossed their minds that there is a different way to do things." The crisis maker needs to increase his self-motivation to accomplish things and decrease the emotional investment in the death-defying, last minute performance. Recognize your need for an adrenaline rush, but find a safer avenue for it than your work or your relationships. Make a cold call to someone who’d never expect to hear from you. Set your sights on a five-minute mile or a 200-pound bench press.

You better get writing though. Your Prof will give you an "F" for nothing turned in. Do a stream of consciousness for your paper. It will necessarily have to be several pages long and you will have to defend why you are writing your paper in this manner.

You are not a genius unless you turn in something really good!

Actually it turned out that it was just the rough draft that we were STARTING on... all we had to have were notecards and work citing! ARG ARG ARG! but i got lucky!
