What is it with this downward spiral of procrastination?
You know you have to get your shit done, and yet you haven't cracked open a book and you're like...f**k it. I'm already screwed. I might as well fail.
SOMEBODY SAVE ME FROM THIS ENDLESS ABYSS OF DESPAIR.
I think we're all going through that right now
I missed a whole day of school today, and all I got done was my reading for tomorrow's class. I spent most of the day watching YouTube videos, going on cB, watching TV, and eating cereal.
And I just realized recently that my first English paper is due next Friday, and I haven't even finished reading the play yet. And I hardly have any time to do it this weekend because I'm working more hours than usual. ><
omg
I have an Econ and a Calc midterm on Friday. And my Econ midterm is supposed to be the most impossible thing EVER.
I AM SO
SO
SO
f**kED
Like
HOW THE f**k DID I GET 27 POSTS TODAY?
I am playing Minesweeper right now.
I am in my room trying to get something done
BUT I f**kIN
CAN'T
OH MY GOD
Seriously, how would I even go about starting to study?
Get your mom to hide your laptop from you, and lock yourself in your room to study. DO IT. I did that for about two hours today and I got my reading done.... not like it was too much progress, but it's something!
Hard to study, when Tung is around.
Trust me, I understand completely....I'm on here and watching anime. Gah. I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO WTF.
I went to meet the greeks instead of going to class tonight! Yes, my downward spiral continues as well....and to think, I was actually going to go see Cold War Kids next week.
lol, my psych paper was assigned a month in advance and it was due yesterday, but I didn't start it until yesterday morning and decided to just take an extension and now it's finally done, yay!
I put off my history paper until 8am Wednesday morning (it was due at 11), at which point I said f**k it and went back to sleep. It's not that big of a deal, though, because I have one every week, they're pass/fail, and it's not like I'm going to fail any i actually do.
lalalal
I'm even procrastinating when I'm at school...awesome.
Guys I'm so stupid, it's friggin cloudy today and yet I'm wearing sandals and forgot to bring an umbrella.
lol, i didn't do the reading for the class i'm in now. technically, i have time to do it right now, since class starts in 40 min., but... i dont wanna!
haha, story of my life.
Yep, here I am at school and I am putting of a 300 WORD paper! 300 frigging words. I can do that in my sleep. Yet, i still won't do the easiest thing there is to do. =/
In fact, I think I am going to continue watching Sex and the City until about 12:20, and then I'll get started on this paper. My class starts at 2 so it's alright. I can get it done in an hour or two.
I should have just finished that anthropology assignment instead of read the pages assigned for today. The TA emailed us saying we'd discuss the chapter thoroughly, so I made SURE I read it all.
Yeah, so we didn't really discuss it at all and now I've wasted a freebie late assignment. Woot.
So far, I haven't missed class. But I've put off plenty of work. Even when I sit down with the intention of doing it, I get bored and leave it. I need go sit somewhere without any distractions and just get it done.
Shit.
I have a paper due tomorrow, and I haven't even started actually writing for it yet. I'm still deciding on a thesis... I've changed it at least four times in the last three hours. I am so f**king screwed.
Good thing it's only 4 pages long.
^ I'm in the same position, except I have a thesis, I've got 1 single-spaced page written, and it needs to be 7 pages double-spaced.
><
Oh man, good luck!!
I finally decided on a thesis, and am now looking for evidence to back it up through my books (I'm comparing and contrasting two characters from two different Shakespearean plays). My essay outline is looking pretty good so far... I just hope I'll be able to connect my thoughts together when I actually start writing the essay.
in the past 1.5 hrs, all i have written is one paragraph -_-
i'm gonna go to sleep and be more productive in the morning.
Lalala I need to read 5 more chapters of OB.
That's like 200 pages. And I need to know them all by Wednesday night. So I am just a little bit screwed.
^ Are there chapter summaries at the back? If so, you can just skim through it and then go read the summaries. That's what I did for some of my anthropology reading... it gets too tedious, y'know?
I'm still working on my essay outline... I haven't even touched the actual essay yet. I have a little less than 16 hours left until this paper is due... should I just go to sleep for a couple of hours and write the essay later? Or should I just stay up until I'm totally finished?
why yes there are chapter summaries but they are pretty general. Plus my prof made it sound like the midterm would be super hard so I better know the specifics...:(
On the bright side, I am meeting way more people now. And acually staying friends with them. Today I had lunch with a bunch of people who weren't from my high school!
On my itouch in bed again so sorry for any weird typos because I'm not proofreading this shit
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT
HOW DO I PUT THESE NOTES INTO COMPLETE SENTENCES AND INTO NATURALLY FLOWING PARAGRAPHS?!
:(
I'm on page 5!! Out of a requirement of 6-7 pages!
woot, I R AWESOME.
:D
^ Hey, good job! YOU CAN DO IT MELISSA, YOU CAN DO IT!!
I stayed up all last night with the exception of the two two-hour naps I took randomly... and now I am at 635 words. How pathetic is that? I worked on this essay for about 15 hours, and I'm not even close to finishing it yet.
But I still think I'll be alright... I have until 5pm, and I have my outline all nicely constructed. I CAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT!
haha, my deadline is 5pm, too! But i'm trying to get it done before 3pm bc i have piano, lol.
anyways... SUCCESS!! I'm at 6.5 pages, which is perfect. All I have to do is bang out a conclusion, edit my grammar, etc., and I'm good to go!
OMG I AM FINISHED!
Congrats, Mel!!!
I'M SO CLOSE!! I'm at 970 words right now (the required is 1000-1250... not much, I know), and all I need is to finish off the comparing of two characters, tweak my introduction, and write a conclusion. I'M SO CLOSE PLEASE LEMME FINISH THIS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
3 page paper due tomorrow. Not so bad, but I've only written a page and i really need to sleep because I keep oversleeping and missing classes.
I think I aced my OB midterm
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
only Psych on Friday, then another two weeks until my next midterm...:(
Is OB organic bio?
i'm f**ked. D:
shit gigi. start with something really small, but I guess you got some of that done.
seirously, that is what f**ked up my junior year. im like eh Ill do it all that night, then that night, then that night.
seriously. f**ked my gpa
oh my god, how is it almost 1:30??
LOL. I'll manage...
Carrie, OB stands for Organizational Behaviour. They may as well rename the course as "Common Sense for Evil Businesspeople".
I got my second Economics assignment back today. The one I stayed up late for and cried over. I got 12/20.
And ehh... Anthropology midterm tomorrow. I'm scared as f**k........
My professor said we have three hours to answer 10 short answer questions and write a 2/3 paragraph essay, but that some people will probably finish in about an hour... so I should be fine, right?
I've learned that when a prof gives you 3 hours, and says that you'll only need an hour, you'll definitely need at LEAST 2 hours, if not the full 3 hours.
But in your case it probably won't take too long, it's only 10 short answer and a 2/3 paragraph essay lol. So maybe 2 hours?
And hi, tell me how I studied for 4 hours straight in the library and yet STILL managed to gather 31 posts for today?
LOL I don't think I'd be able to get anything done with a laptop around. It'd still be nice though...
I spent 5 hours in my basement today catching up on reading. And I can't really remember anything.
Joanne, I'm pretty sure I have the same Psych textbook as you, only a different edition.
I'm getting to the point of being so desperate that I'm only reading the chapter's Learning Outcomes. Do you think that's sufficient?
I'm gonna beef up my understanding by doing some of the online MC quizzes too. whatever. I'm so gonna wing it. I'll do...okay.
I never thought that going to college would cause me to have the "as long as I pass it's fine" mentality, since I've never had it before, but I am TOTALLY having it.
^^
Yeah...uni does that. I hate it.
^x2 Reading the textbook is a total bore, so I understand your pain. I just really liked the whole idea of psychology and talking about it in class.
I was going to offer your my notes, but I just looked over all the AP Psych stuff I saved on my computer... and it's all pretty useless. ><
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!
'k so I'm averaging like 90% on these MC questions. And that is sure as hell good enough for me. Never mind that I have short answer questions as well...f**k THIS!
Thanks Jones. :D
I woke up at 9 and skipped work today to study for my impossible Macroeconomics midterm... and I haven't even finished one set of lecture notes yet. I blame it on Hexic.
I am so screwed.
omg, I think I'm actually starting to understand Econ!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!! Please, for the love of all things good, please let me remember this tomorrow when I actually have the midterm.
This is totally the wrong place to post, but screw it.
That's alright, this is pretty much the most active thread in School anyway, and you were talking about school, so w/e.
Yeah so I just did my econ quiz online (which I have weekly). I got 9/10 my first try, and then 4/10 on my second. LOL. I think I just gave up the second time, although I was hoping for a 10/10.
I have lotsa shit due today :(
And midterms all week :(
Why was this weekend so... NOT productive?
Shit. I just realized how screwed I am for this week:
graphic design project due Tuesday - f**k f**k f**k
English paper revision due Tuesday - NO TIME TO DO IT BECAUSE OF ^!!!
discussion of The Country Wife ends Wednesday - I haven't even read half the play yet
ethnographic assignment due Thursday - shit, I have to talk to a restaurant manager and analyze a freaking clothing store, AND I have to catch up on two weeks' worth of reading
AND I HAVE TO SKIP OUT ON HALLOWE'EN TO WATCH A PLAY FOR ENGLISH!!!!!!! ...... at least it will be a play I actually really want to watch............
i have too much shit to do. the end.
I completely understand! I skipped my last nutrition class to study for my A&P Lab test which I should have been studying for BEFORE the night before the test. So, my nutrition class is tomorrow and I dont even know if I had any homework cause I was too lazy to go look at the syllabus. I have a test in my A&P lecture class on Tuesday, but I havent started studying and I havent been paying attention in class.
Im lazy annnnnnnnnnd Im a procrastinator! Someone help me!
I finished my online econ quiz with 5 minutes left to spare, like I do every week. I got 9/10.
I'm doing my Philosophy test tomorrow, which is the last available day to do it, and I could have done that test like a month ago. And I also plan to do my next Phil test sometime this week, and because I waited so long to do it, now I have reduced time. Excellent. I don't want to sit there thinking about parse trees or truth-functional statements anyway.
I didn't study for my OB test until maybe 3 days before the day of the exam, and I ended up getting 86. ^_^
My procrastination skills are amazing...
i have a class in about 3 hours so i'm just on createblog cause i have nothing better to do.
except that script and the beat sheet and the visual opening/ending (LOL IS IT SAD THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SCRIPT YET.)
and that artist's paper due thursday
and my art therapy midterm on thursday
and 12 youtube videos to watch for global issues
like i said, nothing better to do.
I wake up late for class too much.
I almost woke up late for class today. More like...I woke up 10 minutes before class started.
I woke up an hour and some odd minuets late, so I just stayed home and ignored the little voice in my head that screams YOUR GOING TO END UP TACKING 5 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL.
Meh whenever I have homework, I just think oh I'll do it later. Then at the last minute I half ass it and get a somewhat decent grade.
Fack. My personal life is getting in the way of school...massive project due Wednesday that I haven't started.
no.
okay. so taking 22 academic credits this semester on top of 2 PE credits was not a good idea. fuck.
How do your credits work? I don't think they're the same as hours, are they? I had 17 hours, but I stopped stats so now I only have 13
no. it's just 2 or 4 credits to a class.
so, I'm taking 5 4-credit classes and a 2-credit class.
^^
Holy shit.
And no.
f**k. so the past 2 days, I've been waking up 10 minutes before my first classes. I think that's a sign. Not to mention that I have a midterm tomorrow morning.
^ I know what you mean. I haven't been to my Psych class in like 2 weeks. Not that I miss anything...I sleep anyway.
Whoa, I just spent about half an hour looking at random places on Google Satellite instead of studying for my econ final tomorrow. =\
Turns out the grass on my yard is the yellowest in my neighbourhood, and there's a hugeass stain on the roof of my high school.
shit. it's almost finals.
4 chapters of government questions, vocabulary, and extra reading questions
and lab report due tomorrow and test and a chinese presentation
I think I'll skip school tomorrow.
I'd like to bump this topic for the new term.
I have not done a single piece of homework for 2 straight weeks.
I need to read my Accounting textbook because I have a quiz tomorrow and yet I still haven't done so. Although I have taken Financial Accounting previously and have learned all this stuff already, I still really should be reading this so as to get a semi-decent good grade.
f*ck...only 3.5 months left until freedom...just have to work hard for 3.5 months...recite...repeat...and again...
sigh.
Ugh! I have my stats homework due wednesday and I don't even have the book ordered?
Also I might drop one class since I need stats as a background but I have made no effort as to see what other class I can replace it with.
Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh I wish i was more motivated or not so lazy @_______@
^ Me too, but it's so not gonna happen
Doing accounting and stats too...sooooooooooo boring. Can't believe it's my major..
Should be writing my paper right now. UGH. Its really short (1 page) but its just .... not happening. And its already 3:19am. Godamn. School is a bitch and it hasn't even been a full 3 weeks yet.
I don't have any big assignments due or big tests coming up any time soon... but I found out that three of my four classes have fifty thousand important vocabulary words in each chapter. I didn't think I'd mind the psychology ones, but it just takes so long to copy out and memorize them!!!!!!!!
I actually think my favourite course so far this semester is microeconomics.
Was suppose to do Physiology reading but I got terrible cramps and passed out.
SHIT I JUST REALIZED I ONLY HAVE 5 HOURS TO STUDY 6 CHAPTERS OF OB TOMORROW. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT.
Well.
That just f*cking sucks. Really truly.
...good luck jones. :(
