school work

I find it funny that this is the blog topic this week. Lately I’ve been hearing my friends complain about how much is on their plate; so much school work and stress. I have yet to feel that way. I very rarely have any homework, of course blogs each week but any other assignments I can do in homeroom, or even the class period before. Even if I do get homework it isn’t anything too difficult, papers are the only things that can get me frustrated. The only time I am up until midnight doing homework is if I waited until last minute, forgot about something or had work and then did my homework. Sometimes even if I do take my math or anatomy book home, I just say forget it, I can do it in the morning. My mom tends to always ask me why don’t I ever have homework, I just say don’t worry about it mom. My report card shows that the work gets done either way. So I would say that I never have too much homework, teachers always give enough time for assignments, if it gets too heavy that’s my fault for not taking care of it when I should of and procrastinated. I procrastinate a lot of things, I feel since I know it is due the next day there isn’t an option to put it off longer, people say that working under pressure is bad, but if I don’t have any pressure it won’t get done. The beginning and end of the school year always have less homework, since you’re just getting used to the curriculum and the end its almost summer time, I don’t think teachers even want to be bothered with grading. But in the middle of each school year is the most homework. I don’t think it is a bad thing, there’s nothing else going on for me besides working. I think doing homework is a good review for what you learned during class. It really does help to improve skills in any subject. More times than not I do learn from my homework, maybe it doesn’t get done at home, but I still can grasp the concepts. I have always been the person to wait until Sunday night to do all my homework, papers or anything that is needed for Monday. I could get assigned a project a month in advanced and wait until the night before to do it. I think it is a bad habit to get into, because I hear that in college it won’t work out to my advantage, so that is one thing I am trying to change. To keep putting something off is more of a hassle then to just get it over with. Not only school work but at home I am the same way with little things, like cleaning my room, or my car. I only clean my room because it makes my mom happy; I could honestly care less about how messy I am. Until I can’t see my floor or walk through without stepping on something, then I clean my room. I have to be in the mood. For example, my mom told me to clean my room Thursday night, she was going away, so I told her by the time she gets home my room will be perfect. So as I always am, I waited until Sunday, knowing she would probably be home around 10:00p.m. and I started to clean my room around 8:00. By the time she came home, I was completely finished, it wouldn’t have mattered if I cleaned it Thursday when she told me as long as it got done. That is the same approach I take with my school work. As long as the work is done on time, it shouldn’t matter when I do it or how long it takes.
