I'll have to find other ways to procrastinate...

This is how I've written almost every paper. At the beginning of the semester, I know generally what I'm going to talk about and do a ton of research. Maybe even write up a rough outline. After a couple weeks, I ignore it until the end of the semester. Toward the end of the semester, I do more research, get the outline down, and most of the details if I have to give a presentation. If I'm motivated enough, a couple weeks before it's due, I'll do some writing. A week before it's due, I write like hell, pull a near-all-nighter the day before it's due, and edit up to the last minute. I'm actually going to miss this...
