I usually don't publish my posts until they are finished, but I figured if people wanted to do some comments, I should write something down for people to read. I'll have to read that thing about calling procrastination a "disease" Krysta (and I thought I was being clever! :( oh well!) I know you wrote about Calculus as well, Holly, and all of us can relate to putting off the assignments!! Thanks for the comments! Yea, sorry guys about the “to be finished”.

I, like Holly, found it interesting that you referred to procrastination as a disease. A site that I found about procrastination also referred to procrastination as a disease. The website said that all people are affected to some degree by this "disease" but for some people it is a bigger problem than others. I can relate to procrastinating while doing these blogs. I have done the very same things. It's funny how cleaning up a mess seems appealing to do when I have homework I should be doing. Most of the time I don't like to clean. I can also relate to the awkward phone calls. I always have to plan what I'm going to say and I come up with excuses why I should put off the phone call.

I think it's interesting that you wrote that procrastination "shows the kind of person you are." What you say is very true, as the people who procrastinate with every task they encounter and who always fail to make decisions, will eventually run out of time and in the end accomplish nothing at all. It was also neat that you wrote that "procrastination is like a disease." Not only is it like a disease, it is like an addicting drug. If I put off Calculus one day, then another, then it won't hurt to wait one more day, etc.etc. until there's no time left at all! You make some really great points in all of your entries. I enjoy reading what you have to say. Great blog! -Holly I see by the “…to be finished” that you’re not quite finished yet, but you’ve already got some really good points that deserve some comments!
