There is no word in Spanish for procrastination.
Now there might well be a word for it.
But the people in my town are not aware of it.
I have asked around and explained the idea to several of them. The general response is: that`s the way we do things.
Which is very obvious, now, in the height of the local fiesta season.
A major part of the local fiestas are the big ferias where the people show off what they have been doing all year - or what they whipped up in the last week to show off what they say they have been doing all year.
So people have been rushing together to put their things together. Last week, some farmers wanted me to whip together some organic compost really quickly, some school directors wanted my groups to change the world overnight, and someone who I had never talked to approached me about helping out.
To say the least, this town has a do it at the last minute culture.

so it's like everyone is enrolled in Groves' Gifted & Talented program?
(also, is it grammatically correct to use a question mark at the end of a rhetorical question?)
There is a word for it: "tontiar"
