Well I'm not about to say that it is irresponsible, but I almost think that having a note like that almost makes people slack off more. When I was in school I liked to have that extra pressure to get things done on time because then it forced me to take care of myself more and push myself to get things done just like everyone else. I'm not putting you down here, this is just my opinion. and I know that I would always make time for tv, movies, friends, social life so i really couldn't justify asking for extensions. In the entire 23 years that i was in school I asked for an extension one time. That was when i had my sinus surgery and they peirced the lining between my sinus and eye cavity and I literally couldn't see. I think that the more slack we give ourselves, the more we will take. I remember my worst semester at school. I was waiting for my transplant. i was on oxygen for most of the day, and slept during any free time I had. I cut out all of my social life and my schooling got all of my attention. Ironically enough, the semesters that I was most ill were my best academically. Go figure.
If you do take the extensions, just don't let yourself get irresonsible or lazy. It is very easy to abuse the system when we can!
