A Procrastinator's Work is Never Done

Dec 14, 2004 10:59

So the last 24 hours or so have not been fun. Had an Analytical Chemistry exam yesterday from 12-3pm, I was done in just over an hour, it went well thanks for asking. Wrote a 3rd year Organic Chem midterm this morning. As most of you know I'm an accomplished procrastinator, my original plans were to come home after my Analytical exam and spend the rest of the day studying for Orgo. Needless to say that didnt happen.

Got in from my exam at around 2 from my exam, and I start to here the call.
Those of you who dont live in this house, and who arent serial gamers, will be unfamiliar with this call. It is the call of World of Warcraft, and it can make you forget almost anything. Now before you get all condescending I'll at least say in my defense that my addiction isnt nearly as bad as others. I'll not name name here, but a certain person that I know likes to stay up all night at least once a week playing, that is he goes to bed around 7 or 8am after playing since before midnight. Another will do almost anything to play, such as pour maple syrup down his pants, but alas I digress.

I gave in to the temptation and played WoW until 5 or 6, then the housemates decided to order pizza so we shared a pizza dinner. After dinner, I headed to my basement room to start studying. Spend another hour or so on MSN, and all of a sudden I have friends who I havent really talked to in a month ot so coming over for a visit at 10. This definitely wont do, I hadnt showered all day and the house was a disaster. So at 7:30 I hop in the shower, and at 8 I start cleaning the house and doing dishes. 9:30 rolls around and I finally finish, no time to study now, company will be over in 30 min. So I sit down and watch some TV with the housemates. Christina, Jenn and Catherine show up to the house a little late, around 10:30, stay for The Daily Show, and leave around 12pm.

It is now after midnight, and I have an exam in less then 8 hours that I havent studied for. I decide to pull an all nighter. I gather up some notes and walk over to the local Tim Hortons for some caffeine, we have none in our house. Tim's just happens to close at 11pm, since when is Tim Hortons not 24 hours. Very disgruntled I walk back home, another 30-45 minutes wasted. get home at just past 1am and finally settle down in my room to study. Best I can figure it I fell asleep around 2:30-3am. The bright side is that I planned for this eventuality and set my alarm for 6am. After hit the snooze button for about an hour, I roll out of bed, get dressed, gather up some notes and catch the bus to school. Some more hurried studying at school before the exam. Get in at 8am, sit down, and am done by 9:10, and I was the first one done.

Come home, decide to play some WoW before taking a nap, stupid servers are done. This isnt a good day. So here I am, writing this post shortly before I go to bed because I was told to write one.

I'll be here until Sat, a lot of my friends are leaving already, Lisa and Heather finished today, Shaan left on Sat for India. Pretty lucky of them, anyway, I really need sleep, not sure if this is even coherent.
