When lecturers forget about Pavlov...

I was thinking about procrastination earlier*.

Not 4'33" was pure procrastination. I started it when I'd taken a few days off (five, if you include the weekend) to get something together to send off with my application for the MA. I did nothing; I just wrote the blog. Then I ended up including a link to it as part of the application. Why not, I thought, people seemed to like it.

Once I'd been on the course for a few weeks, I was told that the blog had clinched my acceptance onto the course.

[Sighs] And I wonder why I have a procrastination problem...


*Meta-procrastination?
