Procrastination: How Did I Get So Good At Ye?

I used to save projects to the last minute in order to receive the high one gets at completing the research, structure, and entire paper done in the course of 24 hours. But now that I've gotten so adept at writing immense amounts of words in a minimum amount of time and do well that the joy is no longer there for me. As I write this, I am concluding the last page of my seven-page essay a full six hours before it is due--and this is after I got a full 8 hours of sleep last night as well as had a breakfast and shower this morning. Alas, I will have to find some way other than deadlines fast approaching to get my heart pumping.

Perhaps the lack of joy finishing things at the last moment will finally entice me to start giving myself ample time to complete things. Right in time for my graduation, hurray.
