My Turn
by Meg |
Procrastination.
Ah, what a beautiful word for such an ugly habit. Take me for example.
Megan is my real name, but my title is the Queen of Procrastination, a
small city in the land of Avoidance. I am the defender of the faith of
Why Do Today What You Can Put Off for the Entire Semester. I have
millions of things to do instead of studying for, oh, I don't know, a
mineralogy test. I can play solitaire (just one more win...okay, one more)
or I can, let's say, type a column. But I don't want to be accused of
being just one more bum in a whole generation of slackers. After all, my
generation, contrary to popular belief, did not invent the word or
concept of procrastination. Actually, Webster was probably avoiding his
studies when he said to himself, "No won wyl thenk I em
prokrasstinaitinge if I rite doun all th wirds in th inglish langwige."
(Before him, spelling was more objective) Webster is the role model for
all procrastinators. He got rich creating something important for all
people. I wonder how much homework the first guy who wrote the
encyclopedia had? He must have been a physics major.
