Rough draft -- Definition Paper 01.30.11

Upon hearing the word procrastination, one might think of it as "putting something off until the last minute.", and they would be absolutely right. Teachers will hand out an assaginment to their students and say "Don't wait untill the night before the project is due to start it." But of course there are some who just don't listen and find themselves typing furiously away at a computer at one o'clock in the morning. However, I took a survey of two people about what they think the word procrastination means. First there was my 68 year old neighbor Phillis, when I asked what she thought it meant, she replied "something that would be put off until last minute and get really stressed about until its completion." I also asked my friend who goes to DMACC, and he stated it as “receiving an assignment or a specific job to do and lounging around doing nothing until an hour or the night before it’s supposed to be done.” When I asked if he ever had waited last minute to complete something he looked at me, laughed and said, “Dude, that’s all I do. That’s how I end up doing all my papers for school. Because then I’m more concentrated and focused on completing it in time to turn it in.” Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.... I can tell i am going to love this paper as soon as you find the time to type away furiously at one in the morning ;) --Lex
