I'm pretty aware that I'm not graceful or talented in any way...enjoy.

Haha!

(I kept waiting for the roommate's b/f to show up... )

U2democrat, I just have to say that the title of this thread made me laugh out loud...because I am a college kid and procrastinating like mad at the moment, although I'm not doing anything nearly as awesome as that. You rule!

Your parents must be so proud!

Indra, I find your signature quote very appropriate for this thread.

I e-mailed it to my parents...can't wait to hear their reaction.



I...am a dork.

Procrastination was my major in college...well, actually it's actually been the defining feature of my entire life.

I e-mailed it to my parents...can't wait to hear their reaction.

I love it!

[Chizip]

its much easier to balance it if you look at the top of the tube rather than the base

 

[U2democrat]

Good to know.

 

[nbcrusader]

Are you going to video your roommate to return the favor??




Or just beat her with the tube!

 

[u2granny]

That was great. My daughter actually cleaned her room to put off finishing a paper last week.

 

[Carek1230]

That's what us parents of college students are paying for? EEeekkkkkkkkkk!!!!!

 

[Sevikins]

I have a 5 page paper due tomorrow... and now I wish I had a paper tube myself.

Hey that's like me at college, except there'd be more alcohol and perhaps stray vomit.

You have reached YouTube, the premier digital video repository on the Internet. We are currently rolling out new changes to the site.

We'll be back as soon as we figure this out...

oh well, guess I'll check back to see this later!

 

[U2democrat]

It still works for me


I got a response from my mom, she thinks I have too much time on my hands...really I was just putting off my work She thought it was funny though

 

[nbcrusader]

Wait till you run for office. Your opponent will include the clip in an attack ad on how you will try to "balance the budget"...

 

[U2democrat]

If this video is the best they've got against me, bring it on!

 

[DeadMansParty]

link wont work for me

 

[U2democrat]

Yeah it stopped working for some reason......I'm hoping maybe it'll be back up soon.....

ETA: youtube is down right now.

 

[Thora]

Fun times.

It worked for me. I just opened a new window and typed in the address, since it didn't work by clicking on the link.

 

[U2democrat]

yeah it just worked for me when i clicked on it so it must be back up

 

[DeadMansParty]

haha, saw it, you are too cute u2dem!

 

[unforgettableFOXfire]

heh...


Right now I've got 5 essays due in 2 weeks: first one for march 8th is done, the two for march 14th aren't, nor are the two for march 16th. That isn't a lot of time, and while normally I put off all the essays till the night before and then hammer them off in a 16 hour flurry of reading, writing, caffeine, and exhaustion, obviously that isn't possible when I have 2 due on the same day, and its especially impossible with 2 due on the same day twice in one week. I'm finding it very difficult to stay motivated, but I've put it off enough, and I'm already fucked if I don't get it all done...

So what do I do? Watch videos of people balancing cardboard tubes. And post about it. And then tell people on IRC how dumb I am.


Yeah

 

[Carek1230]

I think U2dem's on to something big here.....college procrastination sports! Call it tubing! See who can
balance a cardboard tube on the palm of your hand
the longest while roomie videotapes!

Today I had two different exams and two papers due. Yesterday night I had a paper and a presentation to do, so I spent the weekend working on that and just got started on my papers and exam studying for today last night. I was so not looking forward to it, I was cleaning all the litter boxes at 1am!

Ah well, the papers are in, the presentation was good, I got a 91% on my morning exam, not sure about the evening one but I finished superfast and left b/c he gave my group the rest of the 3 hour period off, and all the cats are happy so I guess it all turned out ok?

Laura, you are so cute.

I like the background music..

I haven't seen the vid b/c my comp sucks at the moment, but our school has this hilarious annual thing called the Cardboard Canoe Race. We have a pond over by the seminary and everyone in the school is allowed to enter the race. Each team has to construct a boat that will fit all of them, using only cardboard and duct tape. Then, you have to race two full laps around the Sem pond. If your boat sinks, you're DQed.

I might procrastinate, but I don't have THAT much time!

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

ok it did work for me this time, very funny yeah and nice background music, I was singing along.

I can relate to looking for anything and everything to do when it comes time to study. In the end, it usually does work out though. The day before a due date, I will have no choice but to finally do the work. At the expense of a night's sleep ofcourse.
