Ode to Procrastination

Procrastination is a big problem for me lately, a disease really. I have really done no homework for the past two weeks. And for the next three weeks I am going to be paying for that choice, and paying for it hard.

For some reason I have been having the hardest time getting motivated to do anything in the realm of homework. All I want to do is hang out with people and have fun, or sit in my room and do nothing…mainly I am down with doing anything as long as it is not homework.

I think my defect with homework lately is caused by three things. Number one, laziness, number two a far off due date, and number three an overwhelming feeling whenever I sit down to do anything.

The only cure for this apparent disease of procrastination appears to be the threat of public humiliation. Because I am in the Media and Communications program, practically every project that we do is presented in class. Unfortunately this sucks, because there is a constant competition to do better than everyone else. With this competition comes a threat of public failure. This could mainly be my number one fear. Failing in media is very different than failing on a paper, when you fail on a media project everyone sees, and that is a very unnerving concept. It is not at all a far stretch to say that every media student is most motivated by this fear.  

Anyways I have three projects to work on, all of which will be presented in class, within the next month. So I better get going.
