Procrastination Poll: What Should You Being Doing Now Instead of Reading the SDMB?

In My Humble Opinion
41

There’s a lot of college-related stuff I should be doing. They are:

  1. Practicing Chinese for my oral final on Wednesday.

  2. Finally grading some physics homework (yeah, it was turned in 2 months ago).

  3. Doing my floorplan for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” for my Costume and Scenery class.

  4. Hanging a flat for the same class.

  5. Doing my own physics homework.

  6. Studying for Chinese written final.

  7. Writing up a proposal for an independent study course.

  8. Get the paperwork to design my own major.

  9. Delete all illegally downloaded music from my computer. (I’m going clean).

  10. Fix dinner (it’s 8:00 pm).

  11. Change out of my workout clothes (it’s been four hours since I was at the gym).

  12. Get money from an ATM.

  13. Clean my dorm room.

  14. Do the dishes.

  15. Do my laundry.

  16. Call a bank.

  17. Call a different bank.

  18. Scheduling a ride to the airport.

I really shouldnt’ve made this list. Now I feel all depressed and such.

I need to study for my Monday final. It shouldn’t be too big of a deal, but I have very little faith in my professor for that class. For the past two weeks, he’s started off class quizzing us on material, only to find out that he hasn’t covered it yet and some of it isn’t in the class notes. Who knows what he hasn’t quizzed us on that will be on the test?

So, I need to look over my notes and the study guides to see if I need to set aside time tomorrow to go get the textbook out of the library (“I’ll put some copies on reserve! Don’t buy it, I have notes for you!”) to teach myself something.

And I definitely need to clean my room and sort through the stuff that’s going home with me, as well as get my community service supervisors to sign off on my form saying that I did complete all my necessary hours so I can keep my scholarship. But that’s no problem at all compared to studying.

43

I should be studying for my calculus and econ final…

I think this is the first time I’m going to fail a class.

Must… go… study…

44

Applying for a job I desperately DO NOT WANT. But need. Badly. It irritates me that I need money so badly I am left with no choice but to attempt employment with an organisation whom I have no love for, in field I am dismisive of and which serves a purpose I care little about.

Any minute now I’ll go write up the application. :frowning:

45

Gotta study for political science, biology finals, and then a math final the day after…sadly, whole day was spent procrastinating…oh well…
I’ll deal with it tomorrow :smiley:

46

I should be sleeping.

But hey, I finished my final exams 3 weeks ago… I have holidays til February. I have all the time in the world to stay up til 1 a.m. reading the boards :smiley:

(best of luck though to everyone with exams and assignments due :))

47

I ought to be writing up the corrections my collaborator sent me. Instead, I’m reading the boards, and contemplating grocery shopping…

48

Writing about 40 pages of technobabble about a small Japanese minivan.

Granted, the variable valve timing mechanism is kind of cool, but that’s about it.

49

Sleeping. It’s 7:29 a.m. and I haven’t been to sleep yet. I would if I could.

50

Cleaning the house, eating lunch, brushing my hair… showering… ^_^;

Uh, so how’s the weather?

51

Everything Topaz said, plus writing a paper.

52

getting dressed -getting children dressed- going on promised hike.

actually accomplishing something this weekend instead of sitting around house with complaining that they’re bored kids.

53

Today’s to-do list (written close to two hours ago - and sitting in front of me on the desk as I drink coffee, eat some lunch, and otherwise do nothing that’s on my list:

[ul]
[li]vacuum living room[/li][li]do work on MComm file[/li][li]Vet LRA[/li][li]return movies[/li][li]update site[/li][li]write Christmas cards[/li][li]develop client summary[/li][li]buy shipping box[/li][li]dishes[/li][li]vacuum shelves[/li][li]file papers[/li][li]weights[/li][li]deposit cheques/banking[/li][/ul]

54

I should be on the Rockefeller Center ice rink, playing Christmas carols along with about 500 other tuba players, euphonium players, and sousaphonists.

This is the first TubaChristmas I’ve missed since 1999, but it’s about 20 degrees outside and the streets are knee-deep in slush and I’m in no mood to lug a forty-pound gig bag around the city.

Needless to say, TubaDiva’s going to be seriously pissed off with me.

55

Grading student tests, or washing the dishes, or cleaning up and throwing away the week’s worth of newspapers, which I have a bad habit of tossing next to the kitchen table after I’m done with them in the morning instead of dealing with them.

56

Writing two English papers, studying for a math test, and working on my applications to grad school. Why do you ask?

57

Completing my student teaching portfolio.

12 lesson plans, one Authentic Assessment overview, with assessment and examples of student work, one Unit Overview for the unit I did a month ago, my Philosophy Of Education, and a Special Needs Journal, typed, from my notes of the past several weeks.

But then, I ran out of printer paper, and decided to hook up to the SDMB, instead of printing everything…

58

Thesis. I’ve been having it on and off the boil for a month now.

Sigh.

59

Not right now… but most of the time i should be studying.

Biochem, inmunolgy, whatava.
