I put off doing some volunteer work for a class, because I had no car, and was being lazy about arranging rides.

Once I have a deadline and I start making plans to get everything done...either my ride falls through or the event is canceled, or the event is when I have a class. EVERY DAY FOR A WEEK.

Fortunately, My prof is awesome and let me extend my deadline. I will probably loose some points, but some is better than 0.
