Indeed it is! Being a Libra does not only mean I’m indecisive but also the queen of PROCRASTINATION! So I find myself lying to myself quite often when it comes to due dates....
So in the beginning of the year I got my dissertation assignment which would be due for 23 October. One whole year to do this! Promising myself that this one will be different than all the other due dates, (knowing that I always end up stressing like a mad woman because of procrastination) I conveniently slid the assignment into the back of my book.
I promised myself I will finish this baby before my June holidays, in order for me to enjoy my Mozambique to the max! NADA! On my way to Mozam, I lied to myself convincing myself that when I get back, I’ll tackle the dissertation with a smile…there’s still enough time. NADA x 2!!
September came, and we booked our plane tickets to Thailand! Surely I’ll finish my dissertation before then?! There’s still enough time! NADA x 3!!! On our way back from Thailand (3 weeks before due date!) I lied to myself again by declaring that three weeks are more than enough to finish a dissertation that was given to me at the beginning of the year- I’m going to be FINE! NADA x 4!!!!
I ended up starting a whopping two weeks before, lying to my myself again convincing myself everything will be fine! I was a wreck, didn’t sleep the night before D-day, silently freaking out, biting my nails….I printed an hour before, not giving a damn about my half-ass Literature Review! But I submitted in time…and went to pop the champers for a job well done- which is such a lie!!
