Fail of a day.... or WIN at procrastination?

Sometimes, I fail so hard at organizing/maximizing my time, it baffles me.
Exhibit A:
Planned schedule for March 23rd, 2011
8:10am: wake up, shower, breakfast, etc
9:30am: class time!
10:30am: do laundry, finish English readings, be productive! Also, at some point, eat lunch.
12:30pm: class time!
1:30pm: go back to room. continue writing film paper until...
3:30pm: class! again!
5:30pm: get out of class. immediately find closest food source. eat dinner. get back to paper writing. If successful and productive...
6:30/7:00pm (ish): go to the This Side of West launch. those readings are always enjoyable.
9 or 10pm: get home. finish paper. watch the new episode of modern family when done. go to be at reasonable hour.
1:00am: I should be asleep by now.

Guess how successful that was? This is a more accurate representation of my day:
8:10am: wake up. hit snooze twice.
8:20am: reset alarm to 8:30.
10:30am: wake up. realize I've missed class. shrug it off, be more concerned that I missed breakfast, and now I'm hungry, but no time! I have to go shower, finish my readings, and then wolf down some food while my laundry is washing.
12:30pm: time to go to class! stare sadly at the free ice cream that I have to pass on my way there.
1:30pm: go back to room. consider writing my paper, but go on www.hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com for a while an hour or so...
3:30pm: class! again!
4:30pm: get out of class early. my nice prof sees that no one wants to be there because it is so nice and sunny outside and we have papers to write!
4:45pm: sit by fountain in the sun, watch the massive crowd that is the 4/20 club, and actually write a few pages of my paper while enjoying my iced coffee. (this is a highlight of my day, success-fullness wise)
6:30/7:00pm (ish): go to the This Side of West launch. those readings are always enjoyable. I have a paper due tomorrow, but that's okay.
9:45pm: get home. eat an apple. watch mr. sunshine. watch modern family. go on hyperboleandahalf.
12:15am: realize it's midnight, and i should finish my half-done paper now. blog instead.
12:40am: finish blog post. feel a little sad that this is how unaccording to plan my day went. shrug it off.
12:41am: START FINISHING PAPER. BE AWESOME. FEEL GOOD ABOUT POSITIVE ATTITUDES.

I'm not sure where I was going with this. Oh well. I have a paper to write!
