In the midst of exam season, Don Cheng, a typical first year university student sits at his desk in his cramped dorm room trying to study.
"I don't want to do this anymore" he groans.
For millions of university students around North America, mid-April is when final examinations in their classes begin. It is also the time when many students increase their procrastination habits which can include eating, sleeping, spending time on msn, Facebook, and gaming to name a few useless activities.
"I spent an hour gaming today, and slept almost the whole day" says Don, who still has two more exams to study for, one of them taking place tomorrow.
Don has already completed three exams, and because of their back to back nature, he has barely slept a wink. His health suffers tremendously. His relationship with his girlfriend back home, Jessica Lee, also suffers in immense proportions, especially when she finds out that he spent an hour gaming instead of replying her emails.
Unfortunately, she is also a university student as well, and is stuck in the middle of examinations. She spent the day procrastinating as well, but on a lesser scale, and in a more productive way. Instead of gaming, which benefits no one in society, she uploaded photos on Facebook, where other procrastinating students can also spend their time relaxing in between exams, browsing through her albums.
Her other way of procrastinating is talking to Don on msn. Through this method, both parties are engaged in mutual procrastination, and are both happy... for the moment, but tomorrow, they will be sad again as they go back to the mundane habit of studying jejune subjects.
...until Don surprises her and says he's coming back to TORONTO! TOMORROW!
And... well... Jessica should probably stop procrastinating by writing this blog. And referring to herself in the third person. Because it's probably lame, and a violation of some Journalism law- though she didn't read anything about it in the Journalism textbook she was studying today- all she read about in her textbook was a bunch of useless crap which probably won't help her in her Journalism exam the day after tomorrow.
Speaking of which, she is going to stop writing nowwwwwwwww and go to sleep so she can get up early and start studying again tomorrow. Bye.
