Orpheus,

That sounds exactly like me and the way I complete my work...unless of course it is an 20 page paper, single spaced. In some wierd way, I can more easily concentrate when I procrastinate

If I had such a hard time doing everything at the very last second, I wouldn't do it the way I do anymore...but you're right, re-writing a fairly short paper is not THAT big of a deal. Working straight through from start to finish is better for me than to periodically work on something over a couple of days. It's lucky that I like to write. However, I will not say that I'm any good at it

Thanx again to all of you for helping me even up until my last effort to recover the paper. I always hear of stories about how this exact thing happens at the last moment. I guess it was just my turn! Now the only thing left to do is to convince my prof that I am not making up some lame ass excuse.
