Procrastination
It's fun isn't it? I have school work to do, yet, I cannot bring myself to do it. Why? Because I have it set in my brain that there's more time.
The thing is, I know that if I do it now I'll stop stressing and I'll do better than if I do them at the last minute. I know I will. I have the marks to prove it. I got 100% in a maths assessment that I studied really hard for. Then, for my next maths assessment, I didn't study really, and I got 83%. Still the top of the class, but not as good as before. I know that I can get near 100% in all of my exams if I try, but I procrastinate, and settle for good, but not quite as good marks.
I have two assessments and an english essay that I should be working on. I have a week left of holidays. I think I should plan out my time and do as much of them as I can. My teachers expect me to do really well, seeing as in my exams I tend to get near the top of the class.
So, starting from today, after lunch, that's what I shall do.
But procrastination is fun. If it wasn't for my procrastination, I wouldn't have made all those icons I made on Iconastic. I only tend to make them when I should be studying.

I admit i bludged last term.
Yeah i got lower grades, but still the top in my class.
i was more sidetracked with other things i guess.
Delayed homework etc. etc.

I should be doing my English poetry booklet as we speak, but I'd rather read blogs. Good blogs, like this one. :-]

I just don't like to write about the stuff they make me write about.
That's my reason for ALL my subjects. xD

I can do English. I'm just lazy and don't try. I really need to start trying. Because I like to write. I just don't like to write about the stuff they make me write about.

I do my Geometry work right before class. I can get away with just guessing on it all, but I only do that if I understand the material perfectly. I'll actually do it if I get a bit confused.
The only subject I really do at home is English, because it's my favorite, because I like to read and analyze things. And next year I'll have H. Chemistry, so that'll be way cool too.

I do my homework in my free periods. And during roll call.
So I hardly have any at home. ..I can do maths homework, 'cause it's so easy and takes like 5 minutes. But for english, I can't. It requires me to think.
Right now I have to write an english essay. Gahh..

But that's the hard part. Making myself do it, just doesn't work out. I lose my concentration REALLY easily. Like, after five minutes of work, I'm like, "I understand this stuff.... blah......." Then, I just give up on all my homework, tell my parents I'm finished, then do something else. Then I do it all in the morning before every class. I don't have any attention span. =?

:) Thanks Funky. I hope you find ways to motivate yourself. I find that if you should just make yourself do it, rather than wait until you feel like it. Otherwise you'll never feel like it.
And my icons? http://www.iconastic.com/usericons/2288/ 1/

xD I suck at staying on task. That's why I get bad grades on long-term projects, I just don't have the concentration.
Good luck with all that stuff. No advice from me today. I still have to find out ways to motivate MYSELF, let alone other people, to finish their work. =)
