P R O C R A S T I N A T I O N



P R O C R A S T I N A T I O N
is a type of behavior which is characterized by deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. The word itself comes from the Latin word procrastinatus: pro- (forward) and crastinus (of tomorrow).

Academic procrastination is not a special type of procrastination, procrastination is thought to be particularly prevalent in the academic setting, where students are required to meet deadlines for assignments and tests in an environment full of events and activities which compete for the students' time and attention.

Student syndrome refers to the phenomenon that many students will begin to fully apply themselves to a task only just before a deadline :)

For example, if a group of students goes to a professor and asks for an extension to a deadline, they will usually defend their request by noting how much better their project will be if they are given more time to work on it; they request this with the intent to distribute their work time across the remainder of the time until the deadline. In reality, however, most students will have other tasks or events that place demands on their time :) They will often end up close to the same situation they started with, wishing they had more time as the new delayed deadline approaches.

..so, if you're still interested why am I studying till 9a.m. instead of sleeping, I have to mention that I have so much things to do, that I have no time to sleep, 'cause everything is SOOO MUCH INTERESTING when I should study, that I just can't concentrate myself during my studies.. :) :) :)

if you'd like to use your time of procrastination, just open your eyes and you'll see so much interesting activities you can do.. for example changing fonts and colours of every letter at your web page ;)
I don't have no time right now, something more interesting just took my eye of the blog.. :) so I'm taking my fifth cup of tea & going study.. ;)
