Sometimes procrastination pays.

Procrastination pays. Big time. Let me tell you how I know.

So, a few weeks ago I missed a Philosophy midterm, but had permission from my prof to write it at another time. She gave me instructions on how the process worked and I was supposed to get things organized. She didn't, however, give me a date by which I must write it.

So I put it off. For quite a while. When I finally got around to making an appointment at the testing centre, things got complicated. After a lot of running around on my part, and cancelled classes and forgetfulness on the part of my prof, she finally gave up and told me I didn't have to write it at all. She'll just give me the average of my other tests. Seeing as I got a 95 on my first midterm, and I didn't know any of the material for this midterm (skip classes? who, me??), I figure this is conclusive proof that procrastination pays.

Take that, Jordan!!!
