<p>I need some words of encouragement.</p>
<p>I'm starting to slack in my classes</p>
<p>Starting to?? I've been slacking off since the beginning of senior year, and midyear reports may well jettison any lingering hopes of getting in my top choices.</p>
<p>glad im not alone.....</p>
<p>I Don't Wanna Be The Girl Who Had Dreams Of Going To Harvard, But Never Accomplished Anything Because She Was A Slacker Big-mouth.</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>I'm just like that ...and because of it I have to Cs in my midyear :'(</p>
<p>are you a harvard applicant?</p>
<p>I think you're talking to MeadWeb, but anyway i'm a harvard app. I have no cs in my midyear report, just a few semester Bs (one was especially annoying since it was all due to a midterm exam b and i had a solid A in there before). I wonder will Harvard and others overlook the slacking since I improved a space in class rank?</p>
<p>First of all, I meant to type TWO*</p>
<p>Now, that we have that cleared, yes I am a Harvard applicant, and no, do not remind me that I just killed the little chance I had in the first place.</p>
<p><em>sobs</em></p>
<p>don't beat your self up, i think that at a certain pt. grades become not so important, in my oppinion its all about wether adcom takes a liking to your app or not</p>
<p>same here!! i used to only sleep in my morning classes ... now i can't stay awake for ANY classes, even if i ingest coffee by the gallons</p>
<p>I feel the same. I'm constantly tired, and I just mope about how I won't get in anywhere.</p>
<p>i second that....i yawn so much it looks like im crying...and inside...i really am</p>
<p>coffee is the essence of life...but i'm trying to quit, semi-sucessfully ;)</p>
<p>just give up</p>
<p>suuuurrrreee</p>
<p>Second semester senior year is easily the most fun I've had at school since the days of swingsets and naptime and coloring. I'm taking two of my tough classes Pass/Fail, so I still get the same instruction and credit and will take the same AP/IB tests, but if I get a B it won't hurt my GPA at all because it will just show up as a P (for pass). </p>
<p>Since MidYear Reports have already been sent out, there's really no way for Harvard or any other place to see our second-semester grades until we've been accepted/rejected/waitlisted/whatever. So I'm just...not worrying about it. Instead, my friends and I have Grey's Anatomy parties every week and completely ignore our homework even though Grey's is only an hour, we take "long" lunches and go swimming (it's warm enough here already). I haven't taken a book or binder to or from school in 2 weeks (even though I'm in 6 AP/IB classes, I somehow can manage with doing stuff during the school day instead of at night), and I really really enjoy it.</p>
<p>Haha. Sounds pretty wonderful. And, I LOVE Grey's Anatomy!! I also have Grey's parties with my friends. Truly amazing.<br>
You can go swimming? Wow. Here, we're having a snowstorm. :)</p>
<p>i dont have tv....my dad thinks it hinders my productivity....</p>
<p>I'm a deprived child. haha</p>
<p>That sounds really cool thought. I wish i could me stress-free...my life is the definition of stress.</p>
<p>^me too :)</p>
<p>If I don't get into Harvard...I'm contemplating suicide.</p>
<p>Is that unhealthy?</p>
