Procrastination - Study Skills Library - Cal Poly

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:41:39 -0800

From the page: "Barely completed in time, the paper may actually earn a fairly good grade; whereupon the student experiences mixed feelings: pride of accomplishment (sort-of), scorn for the professor who cannot recognize substandard work, and guilt for getting an undeserved grade. But the net result is reinforcement: the procrastinator is rewarded positively for his poor behavior. ('Look what a decent grade I got after all!') As a result, the counterproductive behavior is repeated over and over again."

This is me. I hate myself for doing this.

From the page: ""I started to weave this amazing fantasy about the place, an alternative universe, a Narnia-like world. I was really fascinated by the appearance of a non-existent place that the internet had the power to make real and give a semi-existence." "

This is a great site! I like to cook, but I'm on a pretty tight budget, and I don't want to make recipes that call for things that I'll never use again.

I hardly think you could say they have "succeeding in saving" them. There's still a long way to go, both in numbers of lynxes and in education!

Walk London - Route Overview

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:06:05 -0700

From the page: "The Jubilee Walkway is the capital's premier walking trail and one of London's seven designated Strategic Routes. Designed to connect the majority of London's key attractions, it is well managed, easy to follow and provides an ideal way of getting to know London.

The Walkway was designed so that anyone walking it would have "travelled through areas of London noted for entertainment, assembly, ceremonial, and open-air activity, passing many historic sites" (Max Nicholson 1977).

This is a grand tour on foot of London's leading attractions, so good you walk it twice! It is really two routes in one, as it can easily be done at night, when most of the sights are lit up and present a glorious and completely different experience from the one you see in daylight. (Note that St James's Park, Victoria Tower Gardens and some other places through which the route passes are closed at night, but alternative parallel routes are obvious.) The Millennium Bridge forms part of the route, providing an opportunity for additional loops."

Let�s go through the typical timeline of a final paper and see how YOU can achieve greatness for yourself!"

From the page: "Here's what I find so chilling about yesterday's Twitter attack: that these guys, whoever they are, apparently thought nothing of taking down an entire communications network because they didn't like what one person was saying."
