Is it normal to be very intelligent but still make decisions based on sex drive

I am a 22 year old female with an technically genius IQ of 165. However, I am incredibly oversexed, which part of me thinks is related to my high IQ...but anyway. Despite clearly being intelligent enough to make decisions based on logic, I make my choices based on short sighted hedonism, rather than long term goals. For example, I am in my final year of University and my dissertation and final papers (totalling 20,000 words, none of which I have written yet) is due in less than three weeks, but I spent last week getting stoned, drunk, and going out on the pull instead of working. I know that to get the work done in this time frame is going to be nearly impossible, but this guy I want to get with is out on Tuesday night, so I know that I'll probably go out even though it's a really stupid thing to do and that this single decision will probably result in me getting a 2.1 instead of the First which I deserve.

Is it normal to be so clever yet so completely and utterly stupid?

    You don't deserve the grade if you don't do the work, dumbass.

    You're not stupid. You're just strongly driven by the need for short-term gratification. Like you hinted at, I think it often comes along with the IQ. People think that a high IQ is a great thing but they forget that it also means that you have a pressure valve and need to let off steam.

    More practically, can you get an extension on your deadline, even if it's only a fortnight or so? With the way things are in the education sector, student results (and the National Student Survey) are very important and Universities are much more amenable to students than they used to be.

    I used to be exactly the same way, until I screwed up a good thing. I grew up since, and my future comes first now.
