The (extremely goofy) adventures of Max

Entry 9: Procrastination Station

Sunday, April 7

So... I haven't even started my assignment.

I know, I know. It's been days, and I still haven't touched it. I'm literally panicking. I've been telling myself all week, "Yeah, I'll start tomorrow," but then tomorrow comes, and it's like my brain completely forgets how to function. Every time I sit down and look at the textbook, my eyes just glaze over, and I can't make sense of anything. The words are all swimming around like some kind of evil puzzle, and the pages are growing before my eyes. How did I get here? How is it already Sunday night, and I've literally done nothing?

The worst part is that I can't even come up with a good excuse this time. I don't have any cool stories about why I didn't get it done—like, "Oh, I was too busy saving the world" or "I had to fight a bear." No, I just didn't do it.

Now, here I am, staring at my assignment with a serious case of denial. I can't even bring myself to open the book. It's like looking at a mountain and deciding to just go to bed instead. But I can't. I can't keep ignoring it. This is getting serious.

I'm starting to panic. What if I get a zero? What if Mr. Dreadmore sends me straight to the principal's office for being a lazy idiot? What if I fail this class because of a stupid 20-page assignment? I'm literally losing my mind over here.

I'm not gonna lie—there's a huge part of me that just wants to quit school and become a professional gamer, but that's a whole other problem for later. Right now, the only problem is this assignment.

It's so bad that I'm actually considering trying to pull an all-nighter. But I know that's going to end in disaster because I'll probably just fall asleep halfway through and end up making up a bunch of random stuff for the assignment.

Why did I think this would be a good idea to leave until the last minute? I feel like I've reached peak stupidity. Honestly, I'm not even sure where to start at this point. It's just all too much.

I've got to get to work, but I'm honestly not sure how I'm going to make it through this. This is gonna be the longest night of my life.
