- "Can't. I've got work to do right now"
- "I've got 5 days until I have to have this project finished."
- "No time to do it right now. Busy, busy, busy..."
- "I really should do this project this weekend."
- "Huh? The weekend is for doing nothing useful, no matter
- how much you need to do it. I had a hard week. I need
- the rest."
- "Well, here it is. Monday and this thing is due Tues. Looks
- like another all-nighter to get it done."

- I have now had this conversation with myself 3 times this semester.
- Sometime around 4 or 5 tomorrow morning I will say to myself "I will
- start on these things earlier. And this time, I mean it!" At least,
- that is how it has gone the other times. Why break tradition now?
