This troper does not do homework at all, unless it is quite literally the last minute. Math homework in the first 5 minutes of class, skim English readings the period before. History is the only homework that gets done at home, mostly because it is internet research related.

This proper had her first proper exams this year. She studied not the night before, ''the hour we were about to do it''. Effects? I haven't gotten the results yet but my science teacher told me I got an A. Worst subject my rectum! Also is imfamous in the downstairs toilet for the homework dwellers

This troper has applied to 4 colleges. Failed to meet the deadline on supporting documents for 3 because he was too lazy.

This troper was once assigned a ten-page term paper which was worth 50% of the grade. This troper proceeded to browse TvTropes every day in class until the day before the submit date. At that point, this troper started the paper at 7PM before the due date, finished it at 3 AM, slept three hours and handed it in at 8AM. My grade? A. My subject? the effects of sleep deprivation.

This troper has a schedule of procrastination. She aces her tests and turns in all the homework and projects that she can complete in 30 minutes on the last day of the quarter. Therefore, it makes me a C student.

This troper was assigned a 5-paragraph essay, and 3 days to do it and had to turn it in at the beginning of second period on the third day. He did it during first period (about 45 minutes), and made the highest grade in the class. Another time he had to do a poster project. All out of poster board this troper taped four sheets of paper together the morning it was due and wrote down stuff with a sharpie. He got an A.

Project due? Do it the day before it's due, get an A, repeat.

Are you me?

I am a CHRONIC procrastinator. My worst offense? Writing a 25-page paper in its entirety (as in, I didn't even have an outline, thesis, or introduction yet) in the 32 hours before it was due, requiring an all-nighter and taking my first caffeine pill. I got an A; this just seems to be the way my mind works best.

I take it to the extreme. Especially this semester. I never attended P.E., didn't do mathematical analysis or computer organization. Started preparing for my exams in the former night, not earlier, and usually after midnight. And I passed my winter examinations. And I got an A in all of them. And earned my monthly grant. And exams are ridiculously hard. That's what you call a procrastination.

This tropette has this horrible procrastination problem. Ironically, I often think I'm having no time to do things.

This Troper while being an A + student has a problem with procrastinating. She's procrastinated writing her book for over two years (though she literally can't write it for some reason) and she tends to leave reports and essays for the last two days.

Another A-level procrastinating troper here (currently avoiding Stats, due tomorrow morning), pretty much always leaves things until the night before (or on a few memorable occasions, the morning of), even on assignments worth significant chunks of his grade. Will also procrastinate to the point of just preferring to take the hit than actually do the assignment.

This troper generally tries to get stuff out of the way, but his best friend is a ''terrible'' procrastinator. The worst instance was when he was finishing up a semester long project (think 20+ pages) in the study hall the period before the project was due. Whenever we did video projects, he would typically finished editing them the morning of the day they had to be turned in. The DouglasAdams quote on the trope page? He used it as one of his yearbook quotes.

Two five page papers: one due Thursday, one due Friday. Thursday paper? Started at 1 in the morning Thursday, finished at 4. Friday paper? Started at 1 AM, ''scrapped the whole thing and started over with a different topic at 3'', finished at 6 AM. You'd think I'd have learned...

Hey, guess what I'm doing now. Guess what time it is. Guess when it's due.

Amen.

This Troper works best under the gun, so often ends up as one of these. Usual practices involve not reading the relevant textbook until the night before a test, writing papers the night before they are due, and doing most of his homework during lunch. Fun times.

This Tropette has this in spades. Except she doesn't get good grades when she procrastinates. She's a C-F student; the kicker is that she's BrilliantButLazy (to the point of exasperation), and she can finish projects the ''morning they're due'' and get ''A's'' if she tries. Problem is, she doesn't have the discipline put in the brainpower. And she also doesn't have the discipline to get aforementioned discipline.

Wild-Card is definitly one of these. One memorable incident had me doing an entire 20 page pamphlet the day before it was due! I also finished almost an entire course worths of work in 2 days, which,(somehow) made me able to pass and get decent grades. As of this writing, I'm currently putting off a project that I've had for over a month due next week.

Another one who gets good grades while procrastinating. Recently, I procrastinated on an English A-Level piece of coursework, and got a B, and was praised for it. And I used to do this ALL THE TIME in my GCSEs. My grades were As, Bs, and Cs. I should really learn, but my brain doesn't want to ...

I do this too. I don't just leave my English essays (I'm Finnish) to the last night before the deadline, I leave them to the last small hours. I almost never start studying for any exam before six PM the day before the exam. I do homework on free or lunch periods before deadlines. Somehow, I still manage to be a top student, and when my student counsellor asked what my studying methods are, I had to answer "leaving everything to the last minute".

Mind you, if this sentence is any indication of your communicative abilities in real life then you don't really NEED the English lessons anyway, you kinda rule.

I've come to the conclusion that I need to procrastinate since almost every assignment I've ever done at a reasonable time has always ended up with a problem. The most recent assignment was 3 papers with a 1500 word total minimum (500 each). Of the 1500 I got less than 500 words total (200, 180-ish, and 140-ish). I also ended up getting hospitalized for seizures when working on another assignment years before.

This Troper has -this semester alone- left a paper until the day before it is due (In one case a mere 5 hours before the deadline) and powerbombed his way through them, earning an A both times.

This Troper is the worse variant of this; I am NOT one of the awesome procrastinators, so my assignments/work/whatever are most often done barely in time, and even then with not all that great results. Not proud of it, but don't feel like changing it, either.

Same here, although my marks are usually a bit better than average, instead of excellent. I do know someone who fits this trope a lot better, though.

This troper is a similar variant, I always get work done the absolute last minute, (except one weird ass time where I managed to avoid it, but that didn't stick) but the end results differ from subject to sucject. In both computer science and art (yes, I majored on those two unrelated subjects in highschool) I put my huuge final projects off to the last second, and got perfect score and praise in both. On my law papers (uni.), however, results are all over the place, from 60ish to 95.

Allow this troper to play with this trope. If the troper has to study, she usually is this trope. If this troper has ''homework'' due, she subverts this trope, starting a week or two in advance if possible, and taking her sweet time, slipping in doing her work in between goofing off time and coasting to a finish by the deadline. She often gets an A on the homework due to this.

This troper will put in his entry later.

hmmm..... i see what you did there

Me, usually. Last time I procrastinated on anything serious was a paper for my final grade in biology. Started within 8 hours of the deadline, finsihed within minutes of it, and the teacher had given us months to complete it. I got a 98%. He came up to me after grading it and asked me how much time I spent on it. I told him. He then called me BrilliantButLazy and chastised me for procrastinating.

Raise your hands if you started that essay ''during the period it's due''. Fortunately, being part teacher's pet and part aspiring ninja, I was able to pull this off on almost every assignment I ever did. The teachers were sometimes aware of this. Everyone would generally forgive me, as my schemes would enter EvillyAffable and/or MagnificentBastard territory.

This troper specifically got a netbook for studying because if he ever has a pencil or a pen and a piece of paper, he would alway draw instead of study. Thanks to the netbook, I have to admit, my MSpaint skills have greatly improved.

Same with this troper. He takes his laptop to class in order to get work done, but it ends up always playing games and TV Troping.

I'm the type of procrastinator that doesn't rush to finish an assignment. In fact I simply ask for an extension on the deadline, and never do it since every single teacher I've ever had seems to have terrible, terrible memory for things like this. I do experience the rush part of procrastination around exam time, and it never works out well for me...

This troper is a horrible procrastinator. He's been like that since grade school and by the seat of his pants had managed to keep his rough A average in high school. Friends started to get worried when he started to pull all-nighters even for incredibly inconsequential papers. He tried to explain it as "I work well under pressure." His best friend retorted, "You don't work well under pressure. You only work under pressure."

I am this basically. I am working on my dissertation but been completely unable to do it. It's not just reading or printing. It took me TWO DAYS just to print out a few sources that I was meant to use. It wasn't as bad. I used to be able to start in the morning, finish in the evening. But the timescale slowly slid until I would start at 2am and finish at noon. These days not even that. I just can't seem to concentrate. I've been coming to the library lately. It seems to help, having other people around so I won't have to idle with other stuff...but I am writing this from the library!

As This Troper knows far too well, combining this with AttentionDeficitOohShiny is ''BAAAAAAAAD''. I will decide to write something, write all of one or two lines, play a game for a few minutes, rinse and repeat, rarely adding to the original work. I even do this with personal hygiene - I can't remember when I last brushed my hair or teeth... I lost track about a month or two ago. This is one of the many reasons why I do not function well in normal society. I have a ''TON''' of pieces of unfinished FanFic that will probably never see the light of day. Excuse me while I go play AdventureQuest, and then write something, and then maybe play some SonicTheHedgehog game, or maybe an insanely obscure game that almost nobody knows about...

I wrote an essay last night, the night before it was due in. Then my teacher forgot to ask for it in so I wasted all that time!!! It was hard to concentrate cause I get distracted at home..... come on write the essay.... ooooohhhhh facebook........ no, go back to work...... ooohhhh lets go and play some games..... no, back to work.... ooohhh look whats on tv.... its been an hour now, and youve only wrote one sentence.... ooooohhhh lets go on TvTropes

This troper once wrote and researched a 25 page paper in one day. Started researching at 1:30 PM, stopped at 6 PM when the library's special collections that he was using closed, ate dinner, did a little more research using various online databases, started writing at 9, finished just in time at 9 to get to the departmental office and drop it off in the professor's box, before he collected all the papers. And he got an A. Somewhat justified, in that the troper, who was in his second semester of his senior year and while a generally good student and (he believes) a reasonably intelligent person, knows that the paper was flat-out terrible, and that the class was a notoriously easy limited-enrollment course designed to give recruited athletes (particularly those on the perennially nationally ranked basketball team) who would not have been admitted otherwise a way to fulfill the university and the department's research and writing graduation requirements. The troper only got in to the course because his academic advisor felt sorry for him because he didn't realize that the optional senior thesis, while it fulfilled the university's research and writing graduation requirements, and the department's research graduation requirement, did not fulfill the department's writing graduation requirement, thanks to incomprehensible bureaucratic rules. The advisor, taking pity, got him into the class as an easy way to fulfill the writing requirement. Incidentally, he did procrastinate on the senior thesis, but not ridiculously enough to invoke this trope (he did finish on the night before it was due, but he started long before, and while he wasted time on various sites while writing, he did finish by 3:00 AM, long enough to give him a decent's night sleep before the thesis was due at noon).

This troper has been a successful procastinator since grade school, successful in the meaning of being best in class and then some. Oddly enough, the few times I've completely ignored doing homework, that exact homework has always been moved or cancelled. But perhaps the most memorable instance was in high school, when we got an entire semester to do a project that had to be graded at least C, ''or we wouldn't get to graduate''. The last 48 hours until deadline, I spent 15 hours just writing, without skipping school or losing any sleep. It was a cell biology paper. I got an A.

Whenever I have an essay or paper to write on the computer, i'll be on youtube or this. also, I usually do any other homework in the morning, but it's not that hard

Long story short, this Troper has one week to write detailed analyses of nearly eighty chapters in a book. Said book is ''Eldest'' of TheInheritanceCycle. I'm screwed.

I do this FAR more often then I should. But usually I manage to get by with some sort of innate luck where papers/projects/homework due are either collected at the end of the day/class or suddenly due tomorrow. Or for some reason the teacher was gone.

This Troper had a mini-project involving the use of the MIPS assembly simulator SPIM. He had about three weeks to do it, left it until the ''day it was due'', spent 4 hours on it, and got a ''perfect score'' on it. He needed that score too to get his A in the class.

This Troper wishes he could prevent his own procrastination. It seems to be related to stress. I can do a Literary journal in an hour or so, and I usually get those done the night before they're due, and they're assigned every other day, so it's easy. But I can rarely work on Algorithms homework until right before it's due, maybe because it's so hard that I don't think I could do it with any amount of time. Right now, I'm working on a 5-page paper analyzing 3 literary pieces we've read in class. We were supposed to think of a thesis and consider which 3 pieces to use over Fall Break, which came and went. I had about a 10-hour period from the class after break to think up a thesis and e-mail the teacher to get it approved. That was Friday's class. This weekend, I couldn't bring myself to check my e-mail for fear of having to think of a new thesis or work with my current one. I got the journal out of the way and went to the library around 8 PM tonight for some serious business writing. It's currently 3:18 AM. I've actually done quite a bit, written a sort of outline, mined each source for relevant quotes, made a Works Cited page, and written a decent analysis of the first piece that's 1 page long. But I don't do all-nighters. Sleep deprivation has never aided me in writing. (as I write a thesis paper of a Troper Tale) So when the library closes in 30 minutes or so, I'm going to sleep for about 4 hours, come back at 8 am when it's re-opened, drink a lot of caffeine, and finish this assignment.

Beats drinking tons of caffeine ''at night'' to write the huge paper the night before it's due, then not being able to get ''any'' sleep because of it. This Troper (the one who did the SPIM project above) can barely even fall asleep at night ''without'' caffeine interfering.

This troper ''WAS'' thinking about starting her essay for English... ''BUT'' she'll do that later

Guilty. I even put off doing things I love which really sucks!

Procrastinating has its benefits. I had a short essay to do in English, and our only guideline was that it had to be a process. My process was... the art of procrastinating. Of course, I procrastinated and got it done at the last minute, but the teacher loved it.

This troper has a friend who subverted the procrastinating superpowers of everyone else here. He kept procrastinating work on his Senior Paper (your first College essay basically) until the day before. By the time we were turning them in, he had read only half of the book he was writing about (note: we started the whole thing in January and we turned the paper in in APRIL). Around here, if you don't do well, or don't DO the senior paper, then you do not graduate. Needless to say, he is still in high school.

This troper is a proud procrastinator. And so far has been functioning in college just fine, though she may end up fitting the first Truth In Television section of BrilliantButLazy at this rate because this was the method she used to get top marks for the everything since preschool.

This Troper is an avid waster of time and put-offer of work and quite proud of the fact. Due to writing much, much better under pressure, he also does quite well on papers he procrastinates on...usually...

I am and also have been this on many an occasion. I've been doing it most recently with the fantasy-wrestling fed I'm in, putting off writing my characters' promos and posting them until closer and closer to deadline. And now that I've been RUNNING the damn fed while the original fedhead has been waylayed by RealLife, my SHOWS have suffered from this too. It took me almost an entire month to write and post the last pay-per-view event I was holding for the fed.

In Sweden, all high school seniors have to do a project of their own choosing, and then write a report about it. Since it is its own subject, the project and the report together make up a whole grade, so you could say it's kind of important. I decided to write a collection of short stories and then write my report about my writing process and such. After doing just about nothing about it for six months, I finished the collection the week before it was due, spent that last week agonizing over that wretched report, before finally writing the whole 30 page report (as well as two papers that were due the same day) during the last 12 hours before I had to hand them in. I was done at 5:30 am, put my head on the desk and managed to get about 15 minutes of sleep before I had to go get ready for school. I got an A on the project/report ''and'' on both the papers.

This troper has delayed an eight-page book report, in their native language which they are not proficient in. I have four hours. ... Right, I'm very ''very'' doomed.

When this troper arrived late for his final exam, he begged and pestered his teacher in order to give it a week later. Having forgotten almost everything I studied last week, I decided to study the whole weekend... Right now, my test is in 4 hours and my head is empty, I should be studying like crazy or sleeping yet here I am.

This troper manages to combine this trope with {{Brilliant But Lazy}}. She ''never'' starts her work on time, and almost always submits it right before the deadline and gets great marks. One of the more notable instances of this was an assignment for Humanities. We were given three weeks homework to do it in, including class time. This troper played {{Pokemon}} every Humanities lesson until two days before the deadline. She didn't even put too much time or effort into it while catching up, and got a B+.

As of tomorrow (as it is now late evening where I live), I have eight days left to write a ten-page paper, and I haven't even started yet (even though I've known about it since September.) Those eight days I have left include Boxing Day, the sales (where I ''have'' to find something to wear on New Year's Eve), New Year's Eve itself, and what I suspect will be a pretty severe hangover on New Year's Day. Oh, boy.

In the sixth grade, this troper was assigned a project which involved covering an entire posterboard with pictures, book reports, and essays. In the weeks leading up to the due date, she 1) pasted the background on the poster board and 2) read the two books. From 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the morning it was due, she 3) drew the pictures, 4) wrote the two book reports, 5) wrote the two essays, and 6) printed everything out and glued it together. The best part (and I swear I am not making this up): the teacher held it up in front of the class and said, "See? You can tell ''this'' one wasn't done the night before."

I definitely love the feeling of procrastination. Not just because I ''love'' putting things off just for the hell of it, but also because I'm kind of subverting the authority of my teachers, mwahaha. But this troper wishes she could at least follow through some of the deadlines, even if it isn't that good, buuut sometimes I just don't do it all together. But when I do, I make surprisingly good stuff. Once, I procrastinated so hard on a documentary script for my film class that I did it a ''MONTH'' after its deadline, but I didn't bother putting as much effort as I would. The Teacher's response to the script: 'solid, great, one of the best I've seen'. HELL YEAH. -Raverine

I have actually started to invoke this intentionally. I have realised that doing schoolwork the "right way" just doesn't work for me, I get ''much'' better grades when I first procrastinate and then do the assignment in a haze of panic, sleep deprivation and self-loathing.

Are you me? I get home from school at about 2:30 (14:30), and until about 5:00 (17:00) I can concentrate. The only problem is that it takes me a ''lot'' longer than a "normal" student to physically ''do'' my homework (I have disabilities that make me move more slowly). So, when 5 rolls around, my focus is shot. Combine this with really bad {{Attention Deficit Ooh...Shiny}} once the meds wear off for the day, and you have my homework situation. I tend to finish it, usually things like English essays or projects or history notes, at around...oh, 1 or 2 in the morning. Or I write the English paper the morning it's due, before class, in the space of an hour. Every assignment I've done this way (for an AP Language and Composition class, mind) has gotten an A. It's beyond me, but it works. If I've done a really bad thing, and waited until the night before it's due to ''start'' whatever the essay or project is, I'm up from 10:30 to 5:20, ten minutes before I have to get up for school. Guess what I should be doing right now. (It's a big AP project that we've known about since the middle of February. It's due today.) Now look at where I am. Yup. I'm a genius. /sarcasm

This troper proclaims to be very average, yet is the worst procrastinator ever. She didn't revise for her GCSEs at all, yet they all ended up being between A*-C. She tried revising for A-levels, yet ended up with two C's and failed the other subject. She then picked subjects at university with the least exams possible on purpose, and when there were exams, they were nearly always in the late afternoon, so she revised on the day of the exam. She ended up with a fairly decent grade, enough for her to get on to a masters course at any rate.

During winter break, I had no desire to visit TV Tropes and spent my free time doing "constructive" stuff like making {{Fan Vid}}s and reading. Now that classes have begun again, instead of reading the material assigned for each class, all I want to do is surf and edit TV Tropes! What kind of sick, twisted spell have you cast on me that compels me to waste time here only when I have no time to waste?!

While I'm a highly proficient procrastinator (eight-page paper due tomorrow? Yeah, I'll start in a few minutes, get off my back!), I have nothing on a friend of mine from high school. We usually had about twenty minutes of leeway between when we were expected to start arriving at school (7:30) and when classes started (7:50). Usually, my friend would arrive just in time to avoid being tardy, but on days when he had a paper due before he had study hall, he'd arrive at precisely 7:30. On these days, you could invariably find him in the library, jamming out an entire 3-6 page paper in less than twenty minutes. To this day, his procrastination abilities are legendary at our alma mater (at least according to my younger brother, who still attends the school).

I joined the tvtropes forums one day before my semester's last philosophy essay was due. I mostly chatted on the forums that day, started working two hours before the time limit andgave back the essay something like 30 minutes before the time limit. I had a 94%. What.

Last year I wrote an ''entire'' essay during the class period it was due. To put it into perspective, that is 50 solid minutes of writing and fifteen pages. All while taking notes. It was on three seperate paintings whose styles had to be compared to each other. I spent a whole page talking about how one of the buildings was in the (Spoiler alert!)Assassin's Creed II memory with DaVinci's flying machine... The grade? 100%....Don't ask me how I managed that one....

This troper is a chronic and extremely lazy procrastinator, combined with shades of BrilliantButLazy (this troper is ''not'' modest). Normally, she does all her work starting on Sunday afternoon and ending on Sunday night, then gets As and A*s, but two incidents stand out. The first, typing up an extremely important coursework draft the day before it was due and getting a top level. The second was doing a project set for the entire Christmas holidays in about two weeks and begging for extensions. This project, by the way, was quite long and required us to write far too many essays. This troper got joint highest marks in the class, one mark off getting 100%. (Both times were in History, by the way, which normally requires constant work and attention.) This troper would have had to pull off art homework/coursework set for the entire summer and barely started, too, were it not for the fact that the teacher who set it was fired and we started doing something totally different anyway.

This troper has a class where we can turn in everything whenever we want, and there are usually 30-40 assignments a quarter. Which I always do on the day before the quarter ends. My grade in the class the next day when everything is graded? At least a B.

This troper procrastinated studying for her GED test (and all the test they make you take before hand) to the point that, she didn't study at all. I got a 644, which because of being homeschooled, makes this troper "Nontraditional Achiever"

This troper personified. He, maybe once or twice a month, actually works on his stuff at home. And if he does, it usually a project or something that needs to be typed up. Even then, he usually doesn't do it on the day beforehand, waking up an hour before school to do it. For most homework assignments, I usually do them during other classes or the classes in which we do next to no work, i.e Health. It surprises many people to learn that he's in honors for all subjects and is passing all but one with B's or higher.

MY FATHER IS THIS TO SUCH A HIGH DEGREE!!! He went back to college a few years ago, and EVERY month would go the same way. He'd constantly talk about an important project or test he'd have to do later that month, then we'd watch tv or play video games. Then the deadline would hit, he had to turn in the paper TOMORROW, and he did NOTHING, he would spend most of the day freaking out about the project, then watching tv to 'calm down so I can focus later', then he would walk around the house yelling at me and my siblings about how messy the house is and how he can't possibly focus on his paper with all this mess (even though his computer is in the other room and away from the mess). Then he'd finally get to work around 3 in the morning, and I'd wake up and go to school with him still typing, having not moved at all...He got an A on every paper. Same thing with tests too! He'd waste all his time away, then on the day of the test, every month, I'd be going over the book with him and reading little note cards to him, WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, he'd sometimes take the notecards out of my hands when I couldn't pronounce a word right, and I sware he almost got us into a car wreck five times a month...Got an A on all of those tests too...

Turns out it ended up passing on to me as well, my senior year of highschool (2009-2010), in science class, every other friday we had the BIG GIANT REVIEW TEST OVER ALL OF CHAPTER X (x = whatever chapter we were on) I would do NONE of the assignments we would get over those two weeks, honestly didn't do a darn bit of work, then I'd cram it all the night before the test, and on the day of the test, turn in the past two weeks of homework, and ace the test because I just studied everything in one night...Got so bad that in my math class that year, near the end I had a 14% grade. The teacher let me turn in late assignments though, and in one week (on the last month of school) I went from a 14%, to a 92%. Working hard on not procrastinating anymore, but...I often procrastinate my no longer procrastinating efforts.

Yeah, this is pretty much me. For the most part it doesn't hurt me, I usually get high marks with a few glaring exceptions over the years. This leads to much guilty squirming when people talk about how hard I must work and how much time I must spend on schoolwork, because... Yeah, I kind of actually don't. I've often wondered what would happen if I stopped procrastinating. I figure I'd either crash and burn or do so well people would be sure I was cheating. Either way it might end in tears.

an overly designed (relatively small, non-novel) book can apparently be made in a day

Happens to me pretty often. However, it's justified because of a psychological disorder, believing that I'll always fail so I don't even bother trying. As of this writing, I have an online spanish class and just over a month to finish it. I've admited that the only way I'd ever finish on time now is a miracle. This is also what made me finally see a therapist.

This troper has honestly quit procrastinating. I wind up with solid B's. This girl in my history class waits until she has an hour to turn a 5-page paper in before she starts it, and winds up with an A. I work on it for 6 hours over the course of two weekends, and wind up with a B-. Of course, the professor likes her and hates me, so this might be a different trope...

This troper has this in spades. It is in the worst way possible related to AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder. See, I get passionate about things I'm focusing on in the moment, so I tend to sometimes write long, well-thought-out essays in one or two sittings ''that have nothing to do with my college studies'', and are simply ideas or topics that strike my fancy (once famously in a fifty page paper I wrote on a whim spread out over about four days, later denounced by myself as utterly horrible writing- in terms of being a really stupid concept in the first place, not because it was technically bad- and trashed). While I am writing these, I am almost certainly neglecting a paper I actually ''do'' have to write. It's come to the point where I just look for extensions, but as I'm also on VERY good terms with my professors, forging real friendships with many of them as well as just working relationships, and because of a rather large amount of other factors related to AspergerSyndrome, I'm usually still in good favor. But it tests their patience (and my own) for sure. Especially since more often than not I procrastinate ''on the extensions''. This also seems to be almost completely involuntary. As I'm browsing TVTropes or reading a book or writing a random paper of what have you, I'm at war with myself in my mind. The frustrating thing is that I'm mentally berating myself and trying to get myself to work the entire time, because I ''want'' to do it, but I make no outward sign of starting. It's like a StepfordSmiler, only involuntary and nobody has to be around to witness it. To make matters worse I actually have an empirically tested genius level IQ, so I actually AM BrilliantButLazy, and I HAVE, on many occasions, turned in work that wowed everyone before. So, my biggest annoyance is that I know how to do the work, I'm capable of doing it ''VERY WELL'', I WANT to do it...and I don't do it. That makes no sense logically to me, driving me into ridiculous levels of confusion about what the hell is wrong with me.

I was terrible with procrastination during my GCSE's. In some ways similar to the troper above, but in other ways just plain easily distracted. I mostly wasted my computer access time on various pointless websites (not tv tropes though, I didn't know it existed then... probably just as well). The only thing I worked for with any self-discipline was maths because I ''knew'' it was a cosmic law that I'd damn well fail that one if I didn't study for it (I was right, I barely scraped a C though for me that was actually an acchievement worthy of being hugged by my maths teacher). I still managed to pass pretty much everything and get A's in several things. I'm not so bad with procrastination now I'm at uni though, I've learned to... oh... oh boy, better get back to animating that sequence.

This is pretty accurately describes my intro to computer programing class. My schedule went something like this: Day 1 program assigned, Next 10 days - goofing off, the day it's due - Code it in 45 minutes. Rinse and Repeat. And then there's the whole "my brain only works from 1 - 5 in the morning" thing :P.

It is currently 4:37 AM in this troper's time zone. The work was assigned a month and a half ago. She got maybe...1/18th of it done last evening, then started up again at midnight. And, of course, she's writing this while it still sits unfinished.on the last question, though!

This troper is writing this entry while attempting to write a 1600-word paper due in an hour, while supposedly researching for a different paper.

This troper is writing this while she has a 3-5 page paper on World War I due tomorrow. It's currently 11:40. I'm screwed.

Same troper as above. She got an extension, and currently has 30 mins to do it.

This troper has a three-page book report due on a Thursday. I picked the book on Monday. I just finished reading it today, which is Wednesday. It's currently 11:25 PM in my timezone and I'm two thirds of the way finished with the paper. I'd have to print it out when I'm done and I'd have to do that at the library. I'm probably going to alternate between doing the paper, reading TV Tropes, and looking at fanart. Then I'll wake up at eight to print it out before my ten o' clock class. Judging from past situations similar to this, I'll probably get a good grade on the paper (though, that may be due to the fact that I write and read fast).
