Procrastination
November 7, 2022
The date grew closer and closer
I kept putting it off for just one more day
It wouldn’t hurt, right?
Wrong
Soon it was the day before the test
A mad rush looking through the notes
A mad rush of solving problems
A mad rush of memorizing formulas
All in the hopes of getting an A
The test started
Pencils scratching against paper
Echoing in the deafening silence
The bell rang signaling the end of the period
As I grabbed my bag and anxiously awaited my scores
The day to get our tests came,
Mine seemed to be at the end of the pile
I saw all my friends getting 90’s and 95’s
Finally I get my test
As my face morphed into one of shock
A 73%, a C

This story is about a time when I had a test coming up. I procrastinated studying for it until the day before the test. Yet for some reason I still expected to get a good score.
