Ode to Procrastination
by Ryan Sullivan '21
I am working on a paper assigned three weeks ago
It is due tomorrow, where the time went, I do not know I had been optimistic about finishing it on time But I got distracted for a bit, is that really a crime? I had marked it on the calendar, hanging over my bed. For I knew if I turned it in to the teacher late, I’d be dead. I didn’t purposefully avoid it, I just kind of forgot. I was too busy playing the new video game I bought. Today in class the teacher mentioned the due date. That’s when I realized that I had no more time to wait. I went right home, took out some paper and a pen. I worked from three all the way to ten. I am so grateful that the teacher gave me that warning. I’m feeling tired, I’ll finish the paper in the morning. |
