I hate procrastinating but I always do it. Last week on Sunday, I had a major English assignment due, but I came home from work at 6 30, ate till 7 and started the assignment at 8 o clock at night, when the absolute deadline (it wasn't even absolute, she changed it after!) was the next day (or so I had assumed). Anyway, I stayed up till like 2 o clock at night doing it, slept for 2 hours, woke up, showered, didn't eat and had to work all the way until 12 40 to finish it...that left me 5 minutes to change and grab somehting to eat and I had to run and get to school (which takes me 20 minutes walking) in like 15 minutes or less. So, you'd think I had learned. Not bloody likely.
Yesterday (Sunday), I chose to start my history project (which was 3 seperate projects in one) - as did almost eveyrone else in my class - at the worst possible time. I started at 7 o clock at night and greatly underestimated how long it would take me. I had been assuming it was an easy project, but one part, by the standard that I work at, took me from 7 o clock to 3 o clock in the morning to research, write up, edit and finish. So I slept at like 4 o clock in the morning, got up at 7, showered, didn't eat, and had to finish another component of the project, which was a supported opinion peice. So I finished that. Then I realized we had to make a poster. At this point, it was around 9 30, I had class at 11 40, and I had no color printer, nor any ideas for a poster, so I decided to do it at school with my other friend. I ran to school, made it in like 20 minnutes (it was now 10:00 am) and started printing things out for the poster. The printing took longer then I expected because a) we had to cite every single image and
the computer screwed up on me twice and I had to repaste everything onto Word twice before I got to print it. After I printed it, I cut up stuff in like less than 10 minutes and just jumbled it all together and pasted it (with help from some girls) anddd the finished product was the most craptacular thing in the world.
The other two components I'm sure I got level 4's on, but the poster in itself is gonna drop my mark. God, I hate anything to do with art in assignments at this point and time. It's so pointless. I also hate it when teachers assign work that I feel people from my grade are better than doing. For example, when my English teachers (she SUCKS as an English teacher btw) asked to do a storybook for children, I was just shocked. The damn course is supposed to make us BETTER WRITERS (it's called writer's craft) not better RHYMERS. It's so stupid. I cant wait to get into university. I swear to god, I don't care how odd it sounds, but I'd rather do essays and get a little extra prep. for Uni in my last year then be pampared and given extra due dates on my assignments even though they are like 6 weeks overdue already. I find it laughable that she thinks of herself as one of the best teachers around.
But all in all, it was a great day
