I have been wanting to write a follow up to my Vanity and Guilt post from a while back and to answer comments from my most recent post on Pretentiousness and Elitism… but alas, my reference of time may be different from that of other people’s. It is actually not unheard of for me to answer or follow up on emails weeks or months after-the-fact, so one can apply that same principle to answering comments on my blog. It’s not that I didn’t read your comment or that I don’t have anything to say. I am simply a severe procrastinator – to the extreme.
Speaking of procrastination, right now I have the excuse that it is the end of the semester for me and I have less than two weeks remaining to study for and take a big statistics final, write about 12-16 pages on decision-making, then gather data, run a multiple regression analysis on it, and write an additional gigantic end-of-semester research paper for my stats class. These are not easy feats. As I stated before, I am a master procrastinator. However, in the past I have almost always performed surprisingly well under extremely stressful time-sensitive conditions like these. Actually, this is usually how I perform my best… at the very last minute.
So it’s unlikely that I will see you for another few weeks, fair blog. Wish me luck on not failing my statistics class. I am hoping for a B, but realistically I think a C is more feasible at this point. It looks like my straight-A streak will be broken after this semester. It’s disappointing, but I doubt it will hinder my job prospects in the future.
See you in a few weeks!

I am appalled that you are placing your education above responding to my blog comments. I think you need to very seriously reconsider your priorities.
