I am writing my big research paper today. Guess how come! Oh c'mon guess!
Because it's due tomorrow!
I've had my sources forever. I've been going over them all and doing the research from the beginning. But it's the writing of the paper that gets the grade. I really don't think my body knows how to write a paper without the overwhelming pressure of knowing it's due tomorrow.
I'm signing off till this paper gets handed in.

I have that problem too. I can't trick my brain or my body into starting a paper one second before I absolutely have to. If I try to get an early start, I can't focus and I get nothing done.
My brain knows exactly how long before the paper's due, and my body knows exactly how long it will take to use those typing muscles. And I am powerless to override those settings.
Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. I know I've told you my theory that you can't fight your nature. You only make yourself miserable in the process. You MUST work with your tendencies to find success. = )
After years of killing myself staying up all night to write my papers, I finally learned that I am a last-minute worker. For sure. No question about it.
So I learned to clear my schedule appropriately so I could sleep in the morning before the deadline and then stay up easily all night writing. And guess who went from an underachiever to a rightful 4.0 in no time at all?
Screw convention. The person who decided homework should be spaced out over a week is the same person who decided that women should wear pointy-bra, straight-leg swimsuits.
Be yourself. Show some nicely-rounded cleavage and write last minute. We love you that way.
