    One thing I learned early in my college years is that I needed to complete papers/projects/presentations when I started them. Working by bits and pieces just didn't yield a good result. So after my first two years of 24-hour burnout sessions to hit a deadline, I started to set my own 'deadline' a week prior to any major assignment. That way, I still would work from start to finish if possible, but then the pressure was off and I could revise it and improve it as the actual deadline approached. My grades improved, I wasn't as stressed about things, and )gasp) I actually learned more as I read/revised throughout the week.

    I hate the people who appear to be in fine shape that take the Max after the game from the Rose Garden to the stop before Lloyd Center. Lloyd Center is not that far away from the RG people! Fucking walk you lazy bastards. I hate these same people getting off at Lloyd Center who refuse to move to the middle of the fucking train to allow others on because, as they say "I'm egtting off in a few stops". Yeah. SO IS EVERYONE FUCKER! Move the fuck inside so everyone else can cram themselves in. I fucking hate these people. I need to take the train past Lloyd to get home, but I find myself contuinually walking to Lloyd, and then hopping on the train from there because, as I said, it isn't that far, and it beats getting smashed on the Max. Fuck I hate those people. If it's any of you on here, MOVE TO THE FUCKING MIDDLE!! YOU ALL GET OFF AT THE SAME STOP!

    Interesting, my pet peeve is a combination of your two. I get really annoyed when seniors are out on the road during rush hour or lunch hour. Unless you have a specific appointment time, you're supposed to be stay off the road to allow those of us paying your social security more time to work. I don't have time to drive behind you at 15 miles below speed limit... I'm not a morning person and am often running late. I don't need anyone else's help to make me late and I only have 1 hour for lunch! :tsktsk:

    And beets, I hate beets.

    Some people just thrive on pressure and do their best work during those times (at least that's the story I tell my boss, hah). It you're getting good grades maybe it's not so bad. I got through college procrastinating the whole time (even managed to graduate with a decent GPA). In fact, I'm at work and procrastinating right now. :lol:

    Driving in snow....the ones who drive at a snail's pace, even on dry pavement......as opposed to the ones who think, just because they have a 4-wheel-drive, they can go blitzing 20-miles over the normal speed limit.

    In either case, they're tremendous road hazards.
