I spent last night chatting on the phone and playing solitaire when I should have been studying for today’s Bio lab practical. Oy!

What should you be doing?
Finishing a lab report for Quantitative Anaylsis, reading two chapters for the same class, finishing a lab-write up for Bio and studying cell respiration. Feh.

What are you doing instead?
Playing Kyodai, bugging the cat and staring at the wall.

When is it due?
Ah, well now, I got lucky there. The lab report is due Thursday. My next tests are in one week and my lab write-up for Bio is now past due. (My instructor knows that September was a bad month for me and has given me a little extra time.)

Do you think you’ll ever do it?
Eventually. Whenever I quit playing Forty Thieves, stop posting over on my home board, turn off Kyodai and leave the cat alone. I have been getting the chem stuff in on time recently. It’s the bio stuff that keeps dragging on and on. I am making efforts though and the instructor hasn’t yelled at me yet, so I’m not too worried.

Any thing else worth saying?
I’m tired all the time, my diet is screwed up, I’m procrastinating on both classes and I need to look for work. But hey! I’m still very glad I went back to school and I think science is keen!

I’ve also discovered that Front 242, Sister Machine Gun and Machines of Loving Grace are great bands by which to do propagation of error problems. :slight_smile:

So now when I should be writing my english papers or working on my other crap instead I’ll be watching wrestling Pay-Per-Views and all the movies I can handle.

Tidying, cleaning, ironing, the list is endless.

This, until my babies wake up, then whatever I have to do can be put off for longer.

Do you think you’ll ever do it?

My hand smells like tobacco.
I smashed my left thumb yesterday while building a canvas frame and stabbed my right thumb on an exposed staple while stretching canvas over said frame.

What should you be doing?
I should be on the road, driving the 100 miles to go to class.

Short of that, I should be calling my prof to tell him I won’t be showing up today, and can I e-mail my homework instead?

Sitting here in various stages of dress (just changed out of my business uniform) reading the SDMB.

I’m soooooo glad this is my last class. Then I get my MS! Yay!! :o
And gawd I wish I wasn’t addicted to message boards…

Well, yesterday I should have been writing a paper but I was playing Diablo 2. Today I should be reading Wuthering Heights and I’m posting and on AIM.
I have a quiz on Wuthering Heights (first half) next Wednesday.
I will probably do it Tuesday night.
I am tired of this class. It’s 6 credits and SO takes the time of 2. Or rather, the time I spend on two classes.

I finished the poetry paper today ten minutes before class. I adjusted the font and put more spacing in and that added a half-page.

I should be writing my opinion piece for Professional Writing. Instead, I’m posting on the SDMB and pondering whether or not to go to the toilet. The assignment is due in an hour and I’m just about finished. dances

I really wish my computer chair were a toilet. :frowning:

I should be doing housework :(, or writing my boring Client Interaction assignment or doing my proofreading homework.

I’m waiting for my copyediting tutor to email me the assignment so I can procrastinate on that too.

I’m not doing much… in 15 minutes I have to pick up my kid from school and then the day is shot to pieces WRT work.

Damn I hate my life at times… I need to be at least 3 people :frowning:

I should be finishing up my lab report. Yesterday I should have done my Matrix Theory homework. Monday I should have done my VHDL program. I should always be writing questions for a high school quiz bowl tournament.

At various times: watching Christopher Lowell, Buffy, Dharma and Greg, Home Matters, That 70’s Show, reading web comics, and posting at the SDMB.

Well, my lab report’s due tomorrow. The high school tournament stuff is due November 10 (this year). All the other stuff has been due in the past.

Well, I’ll do it half-heartedly. Some points are better than no points!

Anything else? Um… No. Well… No.

**What should you be doing? **
I have to write two summaries of journal articles for a psychology class. Sounds simple, but each one takes me about two hours.

**What are you doing instead? **
Posting here, going to humor sites, otherwise wasting my time.

**When is it due? **
Yesterday.

**Do you think you’ll ever do it? **
I have to or I won’t pass the class (which is 5 units and a prerequisite for all of my major classes).

**Any thing else worth saying? **
I’m also supposed to be studying for an exam on Friday and a midterm next Monday (I haven’t read the text for either class yet), but I’ll probably never get around to that. I also need to clean my room, walk the dogs, and do other chores, but who knows when I’ll gat to them. And of course there’s other miscellaneous homework assignments for all my classes, mostly due Friday or Monday.
