The fine are of procratsination, essays and opinions

This week brings me to you located from a computer at the local community college.... where I should be writing a 10 page paper for my English class, thats due today. But in conversation with CanvasWanderer, a class mate of mine and fellow procrastinator, on relating the internet, blogs and formal research to a paper.

Sometimes a truly human feeling, procrastination, is a dark art. It seduces you slowly while the deviant, in this case the procrastinator, rationalizes why its okay to procrastinate. Soon an idyllic cycle of partial work, avoidance and self reasoning ensues.

The vagueness of the work to be done, combined with apparently far off due dates may often result in a last minute panic as realization and pressure sets in.

They say to avoid this to segment you time with more manageable goals and to work from there, but its easier said then done. I say enjoy life a little, work a bit on and off, and figure out really what you want to do....

Or at least do something fun, in this case blog, or play fiesta (http://www.outspark.com/fiesta)....

Saftey meet you on your paths, and perils avoid you,
