It's not procrastination. It's stress-efficiency. Some people like to get a "head start" and stretch out an assignment over the entire time period you were given. It's like getting into the pool one step at a time; it's uncomfortable and prolonged. Now, stress-efficiency is not worrying about said assignment until it's really crunch time. Although the stress is more intense, it doesn't last nearly as long. So, if you're one of those people that take 10 minutes to get into the pool and 3 weeks to do a 3 week assignment, I can respect that. However, I am more of the cannon-balling, weekend-cramming kind. Now, the smallest fraction if high school students fall under the "smart" category, also known as the raging overachiever category. These people have the dicsipline to begin a project immediately after it has been assigned, and complete it in a small amount of time. It's efficient, and due to lack of time crunch, almost stress-free. If you have ever actually met one of these people, please let me know; I would like to see what they're like, and maybe sit at their feet for a little bit.
Another thought. Do you know how hard it is to make a powerpoint on a computer that only has the 30 day demo version of microsoft office? Pretty hard.
And now I'm going to stop being stress-efficient and get to my project.
