Hehehe.....me too..

I agree....we are in big trouble...... @_@

But.......be positive...every problems has a solutions......

Now, its true our discussion here is about and until the first question..and why not now, we move on to next one shall we?....

But, before that,to the question of why is procrastination popular among students?... the best answer i could think of is.....the vast majority of those given a homework or assignment are students...^^ maybe thats why it is popular among students...to add more...students life is the most tempting and challenging moment..where you have so many fun things to do..and the sad thing is that, homework and assignment are not the fun things that students like to do...and that could be the answer to why, procrastination is so popular among students..^^

And back, as we all have the introduction of at least until now, we know what is procrastination is all about, then, lets move on to the next research question..which is ;

What Causes Procrastination Among Student?
Wow!....now i really know what this blog is all about.. =D

If that so, in my opinions, we have just covered up the first questions?

Hye guys..and saiybah-girl ^.^
i totally agree and sorry..hehe me too..a procrastinator...
So, what are we going to do?... i think..for now, our introduction to our topic is done..until the part of the quiz that we offer others to identify on what level are they in procrastinating...and guess what?...i'm on the most outrageous level...way more up the level.... ;P
Hmm....saiybah, i've been through your post...and yes..eventhough its hard to admit..but..yes..it is in myself too..i think we have to do something with our blog..

Rewind.........

Basically, at first we : me-Saiybah, Raden and Hassan were assigned to make a blog as part of our requirement for our English for Social Science subject.. Here, is the blog..^_^ Then, we had to choose a title. As most of us had came across so many times of the word of 'Procrastination', so the three of us decided that we would make this topic as our assignment project. By doing so, coming across this word of 'Procrastination' later on..will definitely make a difference...

And, YES!..until today..IT HAD MAKE A LOT OF DIEFFERENCES... X-(

Corrections.....

Last time...our blog was viewed by our lecturer Dr.Zaini....it was terrible compare to others...if it was our real presentation...we would have gotten 5 out of the full marks of 15...worst ever....so, today we have to do some editing in our blog...the title that we presented was 'Procrastination'...it looks like we are the extreme procrastinators ever....doing an assignment on the topic,that shows your true colors...so, whatever we tell you in this blog...will be from true experience...
