it happens again

26 05 2004

Procrastination and I have been really close for as long as I can remember. I frequently put off those activities/responsibilities I view as unpleasant until the very last minute. I’ve gotten by just fine living this way and I don’t expect this to change any time in the near future, if ever. The problem arises when it’s not just me that’s affected by it. I have a business proposal letter due in my X100 class this evening for my group that I still haven’t done. I’ll manage to take time out of my afternoon at work today and pull something out of my posterior, but I feel bad about waiting to so long to do this with the grades of my group members. Of course, I quickly absolve myself of any guilt when I remember that this letter is worth less than 1% of our total grade for the course. If it was just me, I might not even do it.

Oh by the way, I had my first test on Monday night in that class. The only studying I did was reading my notes for about 5-10 minutes before class and I got a 98. Should be another easy A.

So what was I doing last night instead of working on this assignment? Messing around with my Xbox. I finally got the new dashboard software installed, so I now have the ability to rip games directly to the hard drive. However, since I only have a 10GB HD in there, that space will go fast. I’ll be placing an order soon for a new drive, most likely in the 120GB region, although my modchip does support larger ones. The size I’ll get will mostly be determined by pricing.
