because of a severe case of procrastination i have contracted this semester, i have been up all night typing a paper that is due in about an hour. the paper is finished, but after i hand in the paper i have a final for another class, which i am in no shape to take right now. so, i think i'm going to skip my final and sleep and when i wake up i'm going to email my professor and tell him that i fell asleep on the subway and ended up an hour away from school so i couldn't make it to the final. is this a good idea or am i delirous from lack of sleep, or just lazy?

If this final is important you might as well just go and get it over with. When you start the test the time will probably just fly anyway.
I remember being so tired in a test that I vomitted all over the place :D It got me out of it and I was allowed to resit later...which I didn't do because I left.

Suffering from procrastination?
Does this mean you spent more time saying you were going to do it than you actually spent doing it?
I suffer from that.

You're lazy and you'd also be dishonest if you told him you fell asleep on the subway :P
Be honest, they're (academics are) usually reasonable people compared to bosses at work.
I'm working hard at the moment and will be up most of tonight and probably most of the next night too. Things have been further compounded by our stupid students union approving the use of our carpark for some event on the two days I have to go to hand work in... as a result I'll either have to park illegally and hope I don't get fined or clamped or go in about an hour earlier (I already get up at 6.30) and park miles away and walk in.

Actually do it before you sleep because you can plead diminished responsibility due to tiredness and procrastination.

Park illegally and stick a notein the window of the car saying your are a disabled and you have gone to chase after someone who opened your passenger door and stole your fake legs.

I've been meaning to ask my mate with multiple sclerosis if I can borrow his disabled sticker from his car to make a copy for a while now... seems to be the only way to get a parking spot unless you fancy a three mile walk (inevitably through driving rain and howling wind in pontypridd) from the town centre.

You should do it. Abusing disabled priviledges is the only option for inner city parking these days.

My roomate just slept through a final, though he didn't feel well.
I almost punched him for being such a sack, but believe it or not, his prof is letting him take the exam wednesday.
Man, that should be an automatic zero on final, F in class, but profs these days don't give a shit, jeezus

Yep... on my degree, unless you have "mitigating circumstances" you fail the degree if you miss an exam/don't hand coursework in (during the final year). No pussying about- no resists, that's it, you wasted 4 years of your life, thank you, goodbye...
It's harsh, but fair. I think not having criteria like that cheapens degrees.
