(10) - Procrastination At Its Best

You know what? I just have to laugh.  This post was intended to be deep and doctrinal since it is my last one before I shall be graded on this assignment for this block.  As usual I'm a late sleeper, I go to bed, in general, at about 1 or 2 in the morning.  As a result of homework and my online business, it has been a long day.  I saved the best for last.  My online blog.  As I entered my gmail I notice that all the people I am following are also up doing their blogs.  One was submitted just 46 seconds ago. Another was just over a minute.  Then there's me.  I'm doing my 10th post at 1:04 in the morning.  One would laugh and say that I'm ridiculous for doing so, and others would scorn and chew me out (that would be my mother), but I am who I am, and I function how I function.  Since we're on the topic at hand, I do want to address the issue of procrastination.  We all know how bad it is to procrastinate.  One week we might have a midterm and we wait until the night before to study 2 months worth of material so that we can "survive" the test.  On the other hand maybe we take our sweet time in getting a work project due, later finding out that we had to have it in yesterday.  Procrastination is bad, but I want to put in that procrastination is also good.  How? Well, it's the factor that defines us as humans.  Imagine if we ALWAYS did everything on time with preciseness.  Would we be human?  No, we would be robots.  So as humans, I would go as far to say that it is healthy to procrastinate.  Obviously we can't go to the extreme, but it is healthy to have to do something last minute.  It gives excitement to our lives.  It makes us human.  It defines us.  So next time your mom gets mad at you for procrastinating whatever it might be, look her in the eyes and say,"I procrastinate, therefore I am human."
