and that's what's important.

I decided that rather than taking my Biology final, I would write an essay explaining why I should not have to take the test.
I failed the final.
Years later, I was at my old biology teacher's house (her husband had died) and on her living room wall was my essay. She had framed it and hung it on the wall.

Only try it if you can afford to fail your final.

The verb ser (de) is used to express origin: where someone or something is from:
El Senor Gonzales es de Mexico.
Aquellos vinos son de Frances
The verb estar is used to express location. Note that whether the location is permanent or temporary the verb estar is always used.
Carlos esta ahora en Neuva York.
Madrid esta en Espana.
The verb ser is also used when the speaker wishes to imply that the subject belongs to a particular class or type:
Estas frutas son agrias.
Juan es borracho.

procrastinacion would be dilacion. However, most people I work with in Mexico say 'dejarlo para el ultimo' - "leave it for the last/end'.

hmm liacion doesn't sound right, procrastinate is a verb most spanish verbs end with R I wonder if it is dilacar. And dilacion means they procrastinate.

Procrastinate is a latin term, and isn't widely used in the Spanish language. Some people I've spoken to say the verb could be procrastinar, and procrastinate could be procrastinacion. Again, all my Mexican co-workers have a hard time translating the word.
