How to unlearn procratination, any ideas?
Procrastination - the bane of long un-productive evenings; the product of Shogun Total War and fighting pixel-wars in Japan; an art form with intense relaxation potential, so much so it can create unbalance.

I need to work this weekend - I have 3 exams and 2 papers due next week. If I wanted to excel in terms of marks, I would be in frenzy right now; but rather, I scare myself by not spending nearly enough time doing work. Last night for example I sat down to work at 9:00 pm, was in front of my computer for most of 6 hours, but did all of half an hour of actual work.
I think the Grateful Dead song "One toke over the line" partly explains it.
At least theres room for error - one of my TAs was okay today with my not handing in a paper on-time. In fact, he laughed when I told him honestly why, and mentioned how just today he came to school unprepared by forgetting something and being late.
Biking has been fun - I've convinced more people of my insanity, yet raised more interest in some people as well. Perhaps it's my offers of "I'll bike with you if you're scared of traffic!" Today was a wet road though. I'm slightly worried about the day I'm halfway between school and home and encounter ice - I know it will happen. For that reason, I may buy studded tires for one of my bikes. It'll slow me down my grinding to the road -- but it will give oh-so-sweet traction.
I think I've found a way to lobby for cycling on campus, and maybe get credit for my "Environmental Action" class -- I'm going to try and convince the York administration that it is in their best interest of sustainability to support the Toronto Bike Plan. Curious how far I can get though...
"high hopes" can sum everything up.
