<p>For the straight A students on CC, do you finish your homework right afterschool, then read for the rest of the day?</p>
<p>I wish I could. Three days a week I'm not home until 8 or 9 (and I'm always in bed by 11, which probably puts me in the minority on CC). I try to squeeze in homework wherever I can: a few hours in the evening, while I exercise, on the bus, during more boring classes (Driver Ed = Calc homework!). I take two languages, so I laminate vocab lists and tape them to the wall of the shower.</p>
<p>On days when I actually get home at 4 and have the whole afternoon/evening to study, I tend to alternate homework with things like practicing piano or organizational work for ECs.</p>
<p>There's not generally a lot of time left over for reading, which is really unfortunate. Next semester...</p>
<p>normally I come home and take a nap. then i wake up and play tennis, then dinner. After dinner i try to put 2-3 hours together for homework, unless heroes or house is on in which case i don't get much done. Then i make use of my easier morning classes and try to finish up whatever homework i need to do.</p>
<p>I go to clubs, then come home and eat, then I take my puppy to run and get home around 8ish. I then try to begin my homework. I'm usually done with my homework at like midnight... and studying? Fughetaboutit</p>
<p>Thankfully, I've got an extremely good memory, so usually glancing at my notes during lunch or an easier class suffices for most things. </p>
<p>As for homework, I don't really have a set pattern to it. Sometimes if I've got a lot I get to work right when I get home and get as much of it out of the way as possible. I also usually try to work on things early, even if it means taking an entire evening to do so, just in case something ends up coming up the night before it's due and I can't finish. That actually has happened before and I had to miss a couple days of school to get work done last year. (For example, I had a day set aside to do a French project, got dumped the night before, and ended up spending the entire day crying and watching TV instead.)</p>
<p>Overall, I would say my style is pretty laid back, as I get things done here and there when I have time and thus avoid panic.</p>
<p>I finish my homework within a few minutes of it being assigned, or during the next few classes if it is a big assignment, or, if I actually get homework in more than 3 classes in a day, I may do it during lunch the next day. I very rarely take homework home except for projects on the magnitudes of a term paper or things that simply cannot be completed in school. Studying consists of glancing over notes in the class before the test. By the way, I hate high school. </p>
<p>When I get home, I go play some video games, attend ECs, watch movies, or learn something so I have something new to ponder the next day at school.</p>
<p>I wish my school was like that.^</p>
<p>4 hours seems to be the bare minimum of homework that they assign every day. The maximum so far has been 10 hours.</p>
<p>I try to fit in about in hour between xc and cc classes and then do the rest when I get home at 9 (mondays) or 7:30 (tue + thurs). On wednesday I catch up on everything. I'm ussualy up until between 10:30 and 12:30, but I make myself go to bed before two, no matter what. I have a good memory, so tests are not as much as a problem as homework and assignments.</p>
<p>I sleep for a half hour when I get home. Then I do hw. Go to swimming. Come back and finish my hw. Usually end at about 8:30-9 so I relax the rest of the night.</p>
<p>I usually get home around 6ish, but if I have swimming it's more like 8-9. I try to be in bed by 10:30 or so, and after an hour for dinner and showering, I do as much as I can until 10 or so, and unless it's a big project that I'm working on, go to bed. I'm a morning person, though, and so sometimes if I have work I know I won't be able to finish during lunch or during my 2 hour commute to school, I'll get up an hour or so earlier (read: 4 AM) and do work then.</p>
<p>I actually do a lot of work during school because I have a lot of bs classes, or classes I don't need to pay any attention in. My first period class is the one exception, because obviously you can't do 1st period hw the period before, so I try to do it either the night before or in class. Works well unless I need to type something, or if I actually have to pay attention in class that day.</p>
<p>I start out every year pretty good. I study everything the day I get it, and do all the hw and hand in the assignments on time, sometimes early, but by the third week of school it's all gone to ****! Then I start to overload on hw, and it piles up, so I stay up late for DAYS to catch up. So by the end of the year I'm back on track and everything is okay...</p>
<p>Quaere, laminating vocab and studying in the shower makes me feel like more of a procrastinator than I already am :(</p>
<p>Dude, I do that too - study in the shower with vocab for Spanish, that is. I tape it to the outside, though, so it doesn't get all wet. Good use of time, hmm? :)</p>
<p>I'm not a quite a straight-A student, but I'm fairly close (3.87 UW). I have to say I don't really study. I have an awful work ethic, and usually end up starting my homework around midnight (if at all) if it's something I need first thing in the morning and doing it during the school day if it isn't.</p>
<p>Haha, I'm not a straight A student, but here's what I do. I have 1-2 study halls every day at school, as well as 50 minutes of free time every day after lunch. I get 90% of my homework done in these periods. I'm usually in the library or a quiet (as opposed to working-together) study hall.</p>
<p>I get out of school at 3:30, then have sports practice which ends between 5:15 and 6:00. When I get home, I eat dinner, email people, then read - sometimes academic, sometimes for pleasure. </p>
<p>I usually fall asleep 9:30 - 10:00. 10:30 at the very latest.</p>
<p>I usually try to study right after school on days I don't have any activities, but I am a horrible procrastinator so I end up doing things until at least 11.</p>
<p>I think my record was 1:30, not counting when writing essays. My record for that was starting it at 11</p>
<p>Im not quite a straight A student but waking up at like 5 is easier than doing it after football practice</p>
<p>^ I hate waking up early to do stuff....my sleep time is too precious to waste like that :)</p>
