the complement to =appletrees' excellent how to study, which I read AFTER I DID THE FOLLOWING

1. Recieve instructions for the paper and the deadline, which is in two weeks
2. Put it off until the day of
3. Go to school, come back from school having learned nothing at all
4. Pass by Japanese grocery for lunch-making materials and maple-pan for dessert
5. Make lunch
6. Pass out from food coma
7. Be awoken by the sound of your brother calling you needing to be picked up from school
8. Grudgingly pick up your brother, then go back to sleep
9. You think it's okay to have a friend over to erase the tedium, so you invite a friend over and she ends up sorta helping but all of the time spent on hospitality could have been spent on writing more words to fit the word quota
10. Use and cite Wikipedia and only Wikipedia as a source
11. Make dinner
12. Make second helping for friend
13. Escort friend out
14. Finish the paper and upload it and submit it approximately two minutes and eighteen seconds prior to its deadline
15. Swear never to do it again, but when the next paper is announced, instead of actually being diligent about it, repeat number 1.

Optionally: Go on dA, click the four messages that you have, notice that one is about procrastination, and giggle like hell.
