To me procrastination is when you need to do something, and you are waiting because you want to do something else. When it comes time to turn it in, you do it at the last minute or not at all. I used to procrastinate a lot. I never wanted to do my homework because I wanted to read or do something else. That is part of the reason that I am here at Summit. I never turned anything in, so I got bad grades and failed all of my classes. I wish I hadn’t procrastinated because I could be so ahead right now. I could have graduated early but that is out of the question now, but it doesn’t mean I can’t try.

I also know that my sister procrastinates. She loves to play, but she has to read two chapters of her book daily. She then has to write three questions, answer them, and draw two pictures of her favorite parts. She usually starts at 9:30 when it is time for bed. Since the book is a biography, it takes her around 45 minutes to read the two chapters. At that point, it is around 10:15 and she takes thirty minutes to write and answer the questions. Lastly it takes her another 30 minutes to draw the picture. In the end, it is about 11:15, and she feels the need to talk! She can get four hours and feel like she got twelve, but I can’t.
