Pro-procrastination

As an left-wing pro-procrastination extremist, my attitude towards simply lazing is embracive to say the least. Many would say such idleness is “sheer humbug” but in many ways, such keeps ignoramuses like myself slightly saner, in a stressful time filled with more mathematics than China.

Examinations make anyone nervous, not only because of the immense pressure to perform or the disgrace associated with failure. No, it is also the sudden realisation you actually know about as much as a monkey about trigonometric functions. Not discounting that monkeys are intelligent folk, it’s just that the closest need for a tan is probably the same as those who were lucky to receive an asterix.

Anyhow, it would seem near idiotic to play games days before an examination worth six years of gruesome socially awkward pubescent moments, yet somehow, somewhere, I find myself procrastinating on anything, especially this. Then again, many would consider this English practice, and by many I mean myself exclusively. Much like watching movies and television shows is analysing contemporary mediums of expression, pretending you’re part of a game show is practical applications of probability in a monetary sense and also how eating a packet of food is experimenting the distraught effects of obesity for practical purposes. Even the good old Facebook, probably public enemy number one when it comes to not doing work, is studying the sociology of teenage microcosms in today’s society for popularity market share. It is a steady dose of Geography, Economics and perhaps a dose of Biology that keeps people updating their profiles.

Procrastination isn’t always half-bad particularly when it is justified by improving in terms of how much closer you get to what my institution calls, the ‘shit’ list, of thirty odd ‘underachievers’ who preferred the practical aspect of the evolution of warfare over Modern History. With a day left, I have to focus more on Economics and Mathematics and less about watching advertisements and 3 year old television shows involving monkeys trying to do basic trigonometry.

Stressing out about why writing this won’t help my failure so bye.
