So I'm not sure how much of this will relate to your own situation but thought I'd post just in case. I'm a chronic procrastinator who's a fair bit older than you. I never did solve my procrastination issues, but I did manage to run a marathon, do some basic ice climbing & now play competitive chess at state level among other things. Basically I worked out that if I really care or enjoy it enough to do it I will. If I don't no amount of me telling myself I should do it, works for me. Maybe the same for you, maybe you find a better solution. Anyway I'll ask a few idle questions.

How much do you need/want or will find useful better english grades or essay writting skills?
Is it for yourself or is it family/friends pressuring you over it?
Do you have the same problem in subjects more in-line with your interests?
etc. etc.

Even if the answers are yes or you plan to plug on through anyway it's worth asking them because when you tell yourself to start working on your essays you'll have a lot easier time convincing yourself to start if you're sure in your head it's something you actually want. If that's the case remind yourself of those reasons if you find yourself about to not do the work. Out loud if you think it'll help.

If it's no to those questions & you're planning to force yourself anyway you'll need to come up with some convincing (to you) reasons why your doing it.

Seems to me it's irrelevant whether she has it in the bag or not. Presumably she needs a fair chunk of the Sanders supporters to win the general election & has to pay attention to how many voters preferred someone else & a different set of policies.

Awesome man!  This is great, Bay12 needs more fitness threads.  Although, why exactly are you limited to just the road around your trailer park?

Well, not AROUND my trailer park, but rather my preferred route is one that goes straight through it from one entrance, carves a circle around our little children's park, and then goes to the next exit, which I repeat over and over. That's the nicest road. Why I can't leave the park is pretty easy: my trailer park lies in the middle of a cropping of cornfields that extend in all directions for miles and miles. All the roads attaching me to civilization are two-lane highways that have *recommended* speed limits, that people will only respect if there's a cop watching them. There's actually a steel railing on an intersection that you'd swear was secretly a powerful electromagnet, considering how many vehicles have smashed into it. So yeah, I'm scared shitless of going onto either of those roads, so in the park I stay.

Do you have a train-line near you? That's usually the easiest way to deal with the nowhere safe or interesting to ride problem.

Shrug. Pretty sure you've just labelled a fair amount of political comedy as retarded and idiotic. I guess plenty of it is...

Curious too. Considering the amount of sarcasm - "tolerance & progressiveness...", there's a complete lack of context to the post. Destructive yes, but in terms of violence they're doing a pretty poor job with the tools they're using

Which matters how much if it doesn't end up in a law court?

Most people who are going to care will already be anti-trump, I doubt many trump supporters will care & in a week or so the majority of people will just forget it even happened.

If the primaries start to go the other way, and Cruz or Kasich end up with more delegates than Trump as we roll into the convention, I'll be amazed, but I'd accept it gracefully. But if Trump walks into that convention with the most delegates out of all the nominees, and doesn't walk out of it with the nomination, then it starts to get a little ripe, and it only gets riper the more of a lead he walked into it with.

To me that's not really true. Trump is happy to use the Republican party to his advantage when it suits his own purposes. If he wanted to be a lone wolf he could of run as an independent. These things work both ways. You can't run as part of a party, piss all your colleagues off then cry foul if it bites you in the arse.
