I'll go with...finals. Though I'm sure they've already been assigned before, then can stand being assigned twice. Or three times, for that matter.
More importantly, I assign not being adiquaitely prepared.
The only redeeming thing about finals is the fact that you can look at them and say, "All I have to do is survive for three days, and then I will be through. Never agian will I have to cram, or at least never again in three months." That is a bit reasuring.
Also, I assign distractions, such as friends, CoD, yes, the Downs, band practice, work, and Stephen Ambross. They belong there for a week, and then they can come back.
Lastly, I assign myself, for allowing myself to suffer from such an accute case of procrastination.
Now, down to business...
