Blog Prompt: Confessions of a procrastinator

Hello everyone! I have many confessions as a former procrastinator. Being a procrastinator once, I slept early and woke up late. That was how lazy I was.

I was always late for parties, so in the end, I received very few invitations to parties. I always procrastinated when I needed to do homework. I would always leave my homework right to the very last minute. This is why you could always see my dying face a day after the weekend. However, one thing really changed me. It was exams. A rather major one too. PSLE.

One day, my mother asked me to start on my revision for the PSLE. Shaking my head, I said, "Relax, it's just a month away." However, I really regretted having that bad attitude. When I started revision was only a week before the PSLE. You could imagine how anxious I was. Everyday after school, I would rush home to study and studied till the wee hours of the morning.(I don't do this on normal examinations)

I always went to school with a heavy heart and a huge desire to fall into slumber. I was one day caught sleeping in class. The teacher chided me on how lazy I was and repeated that the PSLE was round the corner. My parents had to meet her. I was given a tongue-lashing by my parents. Soon, the dreaded day arrived. That night, I was dunking coffee down my throat. When I arrived in school, you could really see my "panda eyes". I slept earlier on the day before the other papers.

That first day was the only paper that I did not recevied an A*. So, this really shows that sleep is important. But after this difficult lesson, I finally learned not to procrastinate.
