<p>AP English is screwing the crap out of me</p>
<p>Ugh. Normally I'm not one to slack off. But as soon as I got to school... I just... Can't. Maybe it's because I'm a senior and Senioritis has struck early? But I find it pretty ridiculous and it ticks me off how much I slack.</p>
<p>I'm annoyed at junior year already, and it's only been a week.</p>
<p>This does not bode well.</p>
<p>Did not really slack of junior year... Can't afford to slack of my senior year right now either. 4 AP classes, regular Calc, and German 4... Almost at the end of the game!</p>
<p>I've actually stopped feeling like I need to slack off now that I've gotten back into my routine and have adjusted more to my new classes. I can't afford to slack off with APs and college apps this year...</p>
<p>Im fine with everything....cept english!!!
i hate it....this new teaacher we have for AP Lit is like bombing us with papers and work....all the work I don't have in my other classes is def made up for in english
i want to slack off and jjust be done with high school soooooo bad though</p>
<p>I slack all the time.</p>
<p>The thing is, slacking for me isn't not doing work. It's waiting until the last minute to do the work and ending up torturing myself by staying up until like 3 AM every night because I didn't bother to start until 11 and even after starting I can't bring myself to stay off the internet and as a result spend >90% of my time NOT doing work but still complete it all because I'm a perfectionist... </p>
<p>At least the estimated amounts of homework they told us freshman year aren't accurate. Supposedly, we are estimated to have a half an hour of HW a night for a regular class and an additional hour for a GT (basc Honors) or AP class. I have six APs and a GT class, so I should have 10.5 hours of HW a night, lmao.</p>
<p>ahahahaha, I suppose I'm slacking quite a bit, but only in the sense that I don't actually do homework (ie work at home); I do all of it in class (like in math class, lol, I'm like a week ahead because I don't pay attention and just work on my problem sets), in the morning before class (but still at school -- here's looking at you journal entries for Jesuit Spirituality), or in my study hall (psych chapter notes, phys problem sets, and lit reading are all done in here).</p>
<p>Right now, I think I have a test or two tomorrow (needa go over arctrig integrals haha and commit them to memory, maybe a psych test) and a journal entry and I needa complete canterbury tales and the the inferno for some time very soon -- have I worked at all on anything this weekend? Nope!</p>
<p>I have a Bio quiz, which means it'll just be 5-10 questions, most likely, but it's on 50 pages of dense material, 2% of which is review of cell organelles but 98% of which we've never learned before. -<strong><em>- I hate quizzes that are only a few questions 'cause there are sooo many things that can be on it that even if you know EVERY SINGLE THING but like... three isolated facts... you get a bad grade for not knowing those three things. .</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Argh and my NMSF packet is due tomorrow. Rrrrgh.</p>
<p>
<p>The thing is, slacking for me isn't not doing work. It's waiting until the last minute to do the work and ending up torturing myself by staying up until like 1 AM every night because I didn't bother to start until 9 and even after starting I can't bring myself to stay off the internet and as a result spend >90% of my time NOT doing work but still complete it all because I'm a perfectionist...
</p>
<p>So true for me, although I prefer going to sleep a tad earlier.</p>
<p>I never went to bed before midnight during my junior year, except the day before I took the PSAT, the day before I took the SAT, the days before my two AP tests, and the five track meets that required waking up early. I easily could have every night.</p>
<p>Haha yeah, I would definitely be capable of going to sleep early almost every night. And I loveee sleep -- I dunno why I can't just make myself get through my work and get to bed. -___-</p>
<p>Actually, I read something about perfectionism correlating with procrastination, and it seemed pretty reasonable. I'll just blame that.</p>
<p>That sounds like a good idea.</p>
<p>I just hate how sleep deprivation in basically inevitable. Its not necessarily nice knowing you are going to wake up at a time you don't want to five days in a row. I welcome weekends for the sleep as much as the break from school.</p>

Oh man that has to be one of the most hilarious things I've ever read in a decent worth of while. ;)</p>
