<p>I don't know about you all, but I'm starting to feel that school is becoming more and more a hassle. It's not that I'm lazy or don't want to learn, because I do, but lately I just don't want to do what we're supposed to do. I find myself reading books while an assigned book is laying next to me. I read about current events instead of writing essays about what happened a couple hundred years ago, and I put off assignments until the last second. </p>
<p>I'm slacking, but instead of partying and just laying around the house, I find things that really stimulate me. I hate half of the material that we're force fed! Is or has anybody else experienced this? Comment.</p>
<p>Yeah..we were supposeed to read Antigone and Julius Ceaser, read Mythology, do a group project, AND do a project on a famous author and I'm sitting here reading lame books like Gossip Girl and stuff...</p>
<p>This semester I'm pretty happy with what I'm learning. I have some meaningful classes like world religions and marine science... and calculus, which I actually really enjoy. :p </p>
<p>Last year, however, I had one excruciating class--AP English Language--that bored me to tears and tied up hours of my day with utter busywork. I hated it... but I managed. We were given a tiny bit of choice about the books we read, so I made sure I was actually interested in them, and the essays I always wrote about something about which I felt strongly. I learned to be selective about how much time and energy I put into assignments, so that I could pay attention to the things that really interested me. Only in that class (specifically, that teacher's class) could neglecting homework save you (I ended up with 101%). :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Well, I'm really enjoying some of my classes (AP Lit, to be specific), and others are fun (AP Euro). I like AP French, but the class moves excruciatingly slowly (we're given a reading to do outside of class, and then we take turns reading it out loud in class - a waste of time, if you ask me). I tend to dash off my homework in a couple of minutes, but I genuinely like French, so in my spare time, I make dogged attempts at French literature. </p>
<p>And in chem, the curriculum's just messed up. It's very lab-heavy, but the labs we do don't necessarily correspond to the concepts we're learning in class, and even with the concepts, we seem to be skipping around a bit. I've utterly lost interest in chem because of how disorganized and unconnected everything is.</p>
<p>I guess I'm not so much disgusted at what I'm learning as opposed to how I'm learning it.</p>
<p>yeah im like that too. i just look at the book or worksheets im supposed to do and just give it a face and do other things on the internet. its a shame really. eventually i do it cuz my parents get mad if i dont do it</p>
