Procrastination my friend, you have returned...

I am blogging in order to avoid school. I should be writing my discussion for my year long research project. I should be thinking about the big picture, and how running people through a virtual analogue to rats in a water maze relates to the larger theories of spatial navigation. But instead I am wandering around the Internet, trying to beat my high score in PathWords on Facebook, playing Sudoku, writing knitting blogs, looking at knitting patterns, photographing my knitting.
It seems as though I only do any work under extreme pressure. I have been under pressure all semester. I have spent the last three months doing every single assignment last minute, not because I was procrastinating, but because I simply had no time to do anything until the last minute. It worked out pretty well. A nice selection of A's and comments about flawlessness rewarded all my hard work this semester. But it has eased off, and now I have a deadline for my paper on Wednesday, my discussion is only half written, there is tons of formatting to do, and lots of small nit-picky details to take care of....and I can't seem to do any of it. I worked for a few hours today, did NOTHING yesterday, and will probably do nothing tomorrow (I am spending most of the day tomorrow up-island visiting my Nana).
I know where this is going...my scrambling on Monday and Tuesday to finish it all in time. Spending hours and hours madly working (probably late into the night). Cursing my silliness and lack of foresight into the future. It is not like I don't know what will happen. Recent past experience gives me some clues. Last week I wrote a 4500 word final essay in less than 7 hours of straight writing...after I had be awake for 40 hours and written two final exams. Not really into a repeat of that....
If only I could find that fire to put under my ass I might be able to get something done!!!
