Procrastination???? Motivate the person above you!

<p>Let's face it, most of it procrastinate all the time while in high school. Like right now I am writing this instead of working on homework. But anyways the point of this thread is to motivate the person above you and then post your situation so another person comes along for you. And no, you do not need to post both, or any, just have fun with the thread and maybe it can be put to positive use. The motivation can be humorous, or possibly serious. I'll start:</p>

<p>I have a 45 quote project due tomorrow, but I completely dislike English and don't want to even start.</p>

<p>If you don’t do it YOU’LL LOSE THE GAME. Oh wait, looks like you already did.</p>

<p>Anyway, I’m taking two online courses that started in June. I have to have 36 weeks of work done by March 15 and I’ve barely started any of it. (I have about half of the one class done and a couple weeks worth of the other one.) Isn’t that awful?</p>

<p>I’ll bite:</p>

<p>I have to submit the opening pages of my deconstructive criticism research paper tomorrow. I have about three quarters of a page finished now, so I have a long way to go.</p>

<p>In Soviet Russia, research paper deconstructs you.</p>

<p>I wish that was the case, much easier on my part haha. </p>

<p>Looks like we all have a bunch to do tonight. I wish I could help to motivate the masses of anxious high schoolers on CC.</p>

<p>we should all do our work unless we want [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.whatevo.com/media/posts/evolution-gone-wrong.jpg]this[/url”&gt;http://www.whatevo.com/media/posts/evolution-gone-wrong.jpg]this[/url</a>] to continue</p>

<p>I have two scholarship applications to finish by friday, I’m thinking of picking up an extra english class so I have to do a bunch of reading and assignments that the class has already done, I have to apply to one more school and I’m supposed to be writing a new short story for a contest I’m entering. Not to mention I have to pick something to read at this women writer’s event I was selected for. Overwhelming and no progress.</p>

<p>I have a 5 page literary cristism due by tomarrow. I haven’t finished the intro paragraph yet. Also I have captain practice in about 2 hour, so I’m…posting on CC</p>

<p>This thread makes me happy. I always feel like I’m the only person who ever procrastinates.</p>

<p>Get up. Move forward. Or your life will suck so much that you want to die but can’t because you can’t afford the suicide materials or the transportation to a bridge. Is that what you want? Is that what you want?</p>

<p>Math test the day after tomorrow that I’m not prepared for :frowning:
I can do writing at the last minute, but math/science is so much harder.</p>

<p>Yayeleanor, seems that me and you are quite the opposite. Math/science last minute is no problem for me, but writing last minute is my downfall. It’s unfortunate that I always save writing for the last minute, but procrastination wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t a pain in the butt.</p>

<p>Haha, true! I just seem to be much better at sitting down and writing than sitting down and working through problems. Writing comes more easily to me, and as far as the classes I’m taking currently, the standards are lower for humanities as a whole.
Do you prefer to do the easy stuff first and tackle the hard stuff after, or get the hard stuff done and finish with the easy tasks?</p>

<p>^
I prefer to not do any of it. That’s why I procrastinate.</p>

<p>Always the easy stuff first! Not to say that I do the easy stuff as soon as I get home, but I do work on it before anything else. After I finish the easy stuff I leave myself a pretty big time block to procrastinate, which is where the problems lie.</p>

<p>Lets see…
I have a AP Calc test tomorrow that I haven’t studied for, an AP Physics test on Gauss’s Law that I don’t understand yet, and I have to read Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Friday for AP Lit. </p>

<p>What I life I live.</p>

<p>I have some good news for you:</p>

<p>Frankenstein is a great book. It’s the best book we have read in my AP Lit. class this year in my opinion. Good luck on the tests!</p>

<p>@logic: ooh geez. if I had that much work, I would have had a breakdown by now. good luck with all that!</p>

<p>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde seems like a pretty good book. I read part of it (didn’t have time to finish it), and it was pretty fascinating.</p>

<p>let’s see…I have to clean my room/binders (keep putting it off), online work that’s due tomorrow, physics work, french hw, and read about forty pages of the crucible.</p>

<p>looks like I’ll just wake up at 5… why do I always do this to myself…</p>

<p>Give in and sleep forever.</p>

<p>Let’s see. I have a history essay draft due tomorrow, a Chem test tomorrow, a French project due Wednesday, Pre-Calc and AP Bio tests Wednesday, an English project due Thursday, and an English test Thursday.</p>
