New strategy for daunting assignments

New strategy: wait for a long time before starting the assignment. Then drink lots of Coke the night before it is due, and make a final, frustrated attempt to crap out the assignment. When you finally get tired and lose your motivation, quickly finish it and hand it in the next day (or that morning). Then when you get the shitty grade, say, “Oh well, I did this stupid thing the night before, anyways!” And proceed feel good because you weren’t trying that hard in the first place. Problem solved, self-esteem preserved!
