Procrastination Due to Snow Days

I've decided that the recent snow days have actually fueled my procrastination habits rather than given me extra time to do my homework/ projects. I think I have all of this time to do everything in, so I start to hold off on doing it and maybe stop working on everything after getting about five minutes into it. On tuesday night when it started snowing, I stopped doing my homework, a move that was quite risky since it wasn't finalized yet, and started playing video games.
Then when Wednesday rolled around I did nothing all day and waited til the night to start my homework, when I learned that school was called off, I stopped doing my homework and started playing video games again.
Thursday is the same story over again only worse because I slept in until like 11:30 that morning, and then Friday school was called off and I totally thought screw this I'm not doing and homework til the weekend. So then I went and made plans for Thursday night, all day Friday, and made it a point not to return home until very late Saturday morning.
Of course I have plans to go raise hell on Saturday with my friends, I betrayed Kennedy by going to a Wash swim meet and rooting for them because a really good friend I have goes there.
So for the last four day I did absolutely nothing productive and now I'm left with today to get all my homework done that was due wednesday and all of the longterm stuff that was due last week. And that includes my three blog posts, that I am working on today =).
So in that regard it really helps all of us procrastinate, but also what is the point of doing any work this week, because we all now we have to relax because we are going to be playing catch up next week.
Which then puts added stress on all of us because we now are quite rushed to do all the thing we missed the past week plus all of the new stuff we have to do, life doesn't freeze just because we have a snow day. And for those of us who had big projects that are due the following week, we are doubley screwed because if we needed help, oops it's too late now.
