last minute

it seems as though i have a knack for doing things at the last possible second. in the lower right-hand side of my screen, my computer's clock is saying it's 11:56am and this blog post is due in 4 minutes. man oh man, i hope i can make the deadline. i'm usually riiiiiight on the line, and it's a good and bad thing. mainly a bad thing. i should start working on things ahead of time and  getting them taking care of and out of the way, but i think the adrenaline of working against the clock is a motivator of sorts. 11:58pm. it's like a cram session the night before a big test; you know you're going to regret it in a few hours, but the grade will be worth it. it's not like you don't recall the information in a few days anyways, contrary to popular belief. living on the edge is something i do well, it seems. 11:59pm
