<p>Here's a little background: my summer was full of debauchery and hedonistic activities.... i'd wake up at 5 PM everyday and go run until about 7 PM... then I'd eat and go out all night till the break of dawn.</p>
<p>First quarter of senior year I SLACKED... my head was not in the proper mind set to actually do work.</p>
<p>Second quarter I started to pick it up a little when I realized my strait A average was in jeapordy, but I still slacked. Last 3 weeks of the quarter I WORKED my BUTT off like no other time in High School (I'm one of those don't do work and just slip by on paying attention in class or reading book night before)</p>
<p>Now 2nd semester has started and I feel ENERGIZED. Who else out there doesn't feel the whole senioritis thing? All my friends think I'm crazy, but how else will I get all those 5s come May if I don't put in the work in between now and then.</p>
<p>Nope, I slacked off last semester and still got all A's. That's the first time I've done so little work to get all A's. I figure life can't get any easier, so I'm slacking off even more.</p>
<p>Now 2nd semester has started and I feel ENERGIZED. Who else out there doesn't feel the whole senioritis thing? All my friends think I'm crazy, but how else will I get all those 5s come May if I don't put in the work in between now and then.</p>
<p>But as for me, I think I'm immune or something. I honestly cannot bring myself to slacking. I try and then it feels awkward and I try normally. Maybe it's the indian-ness I've been brought up with? Either way, second semester feels better because I don't have any of the pressure that came with first. So I guess I still try, but 10% less.</p>
<p>My AP Lit teacher just gave us this whole spiel about how our grades this semester don't really count. That the grades simply show how self-motivated we are. He said that 2nd semester senior grades are a good indicator of how you'll start out in college. Ha it was just really weird having him say that our grades don't really count unless our GPA drops significantly.</p>
<p>And I've noticed that I've been trying harder in my AP Calc AB, AP Physics C, and AP Lit classes...but I'm totally slacking in AP Stats. Mainly because I think that class is just a waste of a period on my schedule. I'd rather be taking a non-credit Fingerpainting for Dummies class or something...</p>
<p><em>Shrug</em> I've been "slacking off" all through high school. Not where it counts, of course, but still... This year, though, especially at the beginning, I didn't feel like doing anything at all. I just couldn't concentrate. I still have it a little, but not at much. Class wise, I'm slacking off, as I'm only taking three academic classes this semester (4 last semester) as opposed to the 5 I took the past two years. They're all AP or IB, though, so with that and college stuff I was still pretty stressed last semester.</p>
<p>So anyway, yeah, I have senioritis, though not as much as at the beginning of the year. But I'm not slacking off any more than any other year. I think its because I like getting straight A's, etc., even if it doesn't count for anything.</p>
<p>If i wouldn't get kicked out of my English class (and therefore not graduate) then i'd probably only go one day a week... Yea i have seniorities.. its like most of the scholarships are due before the 8th semester grades are out, and as long as i pull through with a C+ in all my classes i still et in my school... what else is there to try for?</p>
<p>I have senioritis. I'm developing good relations with teachers and nerds so that I can coast through the year. (It's been working decently so far. Of course, taking your semester exams will definately put a dent in your average if you take this route.)</p>
<p>I have a 92 weighted average. (I had a 98 weighted average last year)</p>
<p>I have junioritis too. It's kind of weird, I'm trying harder in English and History, which happen to be my best classes, and trying less and less in math and science, which are my worst classes. Stupid math and science, they're putting a dent in my GPA. It sucks. There should be two different GPA's. I seriously have an A average if I take out all the math and science classes. Right now, I'm stuck with a measly 3.55 for midterm. (Stupid math and science)</p>
<p>Pff... junioritis. It actually doesn't exist. It's a myth propagated by hypochondriac juniors who see they have symptoms for senioritis and assume it must be a "junioritis". But no disease-causing pathogens have been found in juniors with so-called "junioritis". I would know. I researched it.</p>
<p>In summary, juniors have no reason to slack and blame it on a nonexistent condition.</p>
<p>Senior year is too, but I think it is much better. I mean, at least we get to leave high school in a few months, and can slack off our last semester and it won't matter much.</p>
<p>The only reason I would try is if I were ranked 1 to keep it or really, really close to one (2-5 maybe) to try and snag the val spot. Otherwise, pfft it.</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, I totally forgot they sorta freeze em.. I think the top 10 aren't frozen, but other than that are. They just use them to find where in the top 10, the top 10 each belong, specifically val and sal</p>
<p>yea, its kinda weird. I had major senioritis until the end of the 1st semester. At the beginning of the second semester, i actually felt like i wanted to do work.</p>
