Homework

[Chris Nowak]

Yeah, I'm in the middle of a 6-8 page AP English paper right now, and I'm surfing Chief Delphi. Go Procrastination! Yeah, after this I have a calculus assignment, 3 massive physics assignments (he checks them all in one day but he gives us a week to do them...bleh), Japanese homework, and a Japanese Test. Yeah, Homework blows. I usually just procrastinate all the time and then stay up the entire night finishing it. It helps to drink coffee (so I've heard, actually, I stick to mountain dew) and not think about sleep. I mean, who needs to be awake for actual class? I suspect this will change as I go to college, but I don't think I'll be spared sleepless nights because of homework.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. BIG Help - do your homework with friends. Call someone up who has the same homework and work it out with them. Not only will you understand things better, another person will keep you on track a lot (unless they are dumb or procrastinate more than you). I know I get a lot more homework done when I'm with other people who are focusing on the same stuff.

Another thing is to take classes which are appropriate for your level of intelligence. Don't take regular geometry if you can get into honors. You are much more likely to blow off homework if you know you won't learn or if it is just busy work. I know that when I was in that regular Geometry class, I blew off almost all the assignments but aced all the tests, and ended up with a grade that was not-so-good. Try to get teachers you like, too, cuz they can inspire you to actually take an interest in some things.

Hope this helps.

[edit] Hmmm Its only 10:30...I think I'll watch some Ayashi no Ceres before finishing my english paper....
