Procrastination

Recently, I was reminded of how to go to governor's school. Ever since the new year began, I have had a hard time readjusting to waking up at 5:30-6:00am every weekday morning. Now, I've gotten used to that, but I've yet to adjust to the late sleeping schedule that the demanding governor's school work causes.

It was Sunday night, a project was due the next day in class, so at about 7pm, I get online to see how the project was going. This was a partner project, so I hoped that my partner had at least done some work. To my dismay, my partner had research the country we were supposed to take over and concluded that it was simply impossible to do so. I was horrified and quickly began searching for a new country. About 2 hours later, the partner suggests another good country that seems much easier to take over. After about another hour of research, we found that it was great for the project, so we began furiously working. I looked at the clock and I had been working for over 2 hours straight and the project was only about half done, so we decided to split the work. I make a powerpoint presentation and my partner continued to work on the paper. Finally, after another pair of hours of work, we finally finish the project. It's rather crude, but it got the job done. I looked at the clock, it was 2:00AM. I was drop dead tired and ready to sleep, but I realized I also have to do work for another class as well, so I quickly found that work and sped through it in about half an hour and went to bed at 2:30am. This, of course, meant that I only got about 3 hours of sleep and had to give the presentation on the energy I had remaining from the 3 hours of sleep that hadn't already been used to wake up and prepare for school. It was a very choppy presentation that both me and my partner were unprepared for, so we could only hope that it would suffice to get us an A or B. We have yet to see our grades.

Governor's School is not for those with health conditions and a lack of work ethic, I believe. I have a heart condition myself, but I've managed to get over that and adjust pretty well. As for the work ethic, as you can see, I've been procrastinating quite a bit, even on this blog. Truly, though, I need to stop procrastinating because I only have a few months and the summer until I begin my final year of high school, where I will have to get my act straight and prepare for college. Wish me luck as I go from point A to point B!

SATs

Wow, what a tiring day. After waking up at 6:30am this morning and spending about 4-5 hours taking a test, I got lost on the way home. After a few sketchy streets and lucky turns, I finally made it home, only to remember that I had to finish my calculus homework. Sigh, I just finished a few minutes ago. Then, I realized I had a project due on Monday! I am currently wondering how tomorrow will work itself out. Hopefully, of I'm lucky, I'll finish my project and have nothing to worry about, but that probably won't be the case. Although God is always on my side, time usually is not. Maybe I'll learn not to procrastinate all my work after this incident.... But more likely than not I won't learn anything at all except that school is annoying.

Late again...

Sigh, it seems that I, once again, have neglected to post here. I apologize for that. Anyway, tomorrow is the big day! Taking the SATs for the 4th time! Hopefully, I'll do well and get at least 2100, but that all depends on the questions this year. Well, I should go to sleep now. Wish me luck!

Decisions

Recently, I came upon a situation where I had to make a decision. Being a rather unsocial person, I rarely leave the house, but recently, a friend of mine invited me to go to his house. I had previously denied these offers because I had some excuse like studying or being busy with chores, but I had no excuse not to go this time. Therefore, I accepted his offer, but then realized that I lacked a ride. He suggested I ask a friend of mine, who quickly suggested ANOTHER friend to give me a ride. At that point, I highly doubted I would get a ride at all, but to my surprise, the friend accepted and said he would give me a ride. I realized that I may actually have to leave the house, so I asked my parents if we had any plans on that day, hoping there would be some miraculous event that we would have to go to, but to my dismay, they said there was nothing to do that day and allowed me to go to my friend's house. Within an hour, I had plans on how I would get to my friend's house and back. I guess I had to leave the house sometime, and at least by doing this, I get to hang out with friends as well. I should stop being lazy, considering I have an SAT on Saturday. Oh well, I'll end here.

Posterity

Recently, I learned that my little sister's grades were a little lower than one might hope they would be. Therefore, being the kind brother that I am, I offered to help her bring her grades back up. She accepted, but I looked at the classwork and I was not about to reteach myself Spanish 2, so I instead turned to her the other class that she was struggling with, Geometry. I actually did have some trouble in that class, but because I had a good teacher, I was able to overcome these challenges and be successful in the class. The problem, though, with that class is that it's rather challenging to explain to others... Oh well, I hope that she passes all her classes this year with A's, but passing on knowledge to the next generation can be rather challenging at times... Her lack of understanding of the subject really conflicts with my ability to teacher her much. Thankfully, I at least have a little bit of experience teaching children Geometry, thanks to my like 5 week job tutoring my friend in that class. Well I'll try to keep writing here to keep my skills up. Hopefully, I'll be better prepared for the SAT by writing a little more on this blog.

Contentment

Today I don't have to go to school until 12:10-ish. That's really nice, considering I didn't go to sleep last night until around 3am... which was technically this morning. Anyway, apparently there was freezing rain or something, but I'm not complaining. I'm so happy that the school I go to in the morning decided to close today. I don't mind driving to school in the afternoon that much.

No School!

I had a Physics test today, but I'm glad that that's postponed for a while. Now, to do some studying for my afternoon classes... or play MineCraft!

Some Exciting Title

I decided to post another one to make up for the day I forgot. Anyway, you know that feeling of accomplishment that you get when you finally finish studying?And the feeling of preparedness that follows?

Feeling of excitedness and accomplishment!

I just felt both of them. I was about to go to sleep, then my friends pop up and ask about those study questions I just finished. I go over them and feel a little most intelligent as I go over each, but then I get tired. I tell them I'm off to bed, but I get this feeling that they might ask me not to sleep yet... Sigh. I hope that this helps me in the process, anyway. Oh, and guess what? I get about 5 days to study for this SAT coming up on Saturday! I'm... kinda excited and sorta not so much. I'm excited to take this test, but this studying is going to be gruesome... like a whole ton of vocab in just a week. I hope that this writing a blog thing helps me with my essay, but it's hard to tell, considering that my limited vocabulary disallows me from writing new exciting phrases, like "in a fashion similar to that of a boss." Well, hopefully I can remember to do this everyday until the SAT and even after... Good Luck, me!

Hopefully me until SATurday

P.S. I wonder if anyone even reads this... Probably not, my life isn't THAT exciting.

Oops

Whoops, I guess I missed a day to post here, but I have an excuse. I usually write these at the end of the day, but I went to my aunt's house and by the time I came back I was dead tired. Anyway, life so far is rather tiring. Studying for my Physics test is probably going to keep me up until around midnight. I'm sure that this is old news by now, but Joe Paterno, the guy who was out of a job from Penn State after some scandal died. It's sad that he did die, but at least he got to live to be 85. My grandma died before then, she was only 70. Anyway, I should get back to studying now. Hopefully, I'll remember to post here from now on, haha.

Snowy Weekend

Well, today is Friday, but rather than singing that annoying song, I decided to write a post. Today was rather long and boring, as expected from the beginning of a new semester of school, but I enjoyed it as much as I felt was necessary. Oh, and as the title of this post suggests, it is actually snowing right now! I wish it had done so earlier,though, then I wouldn't have had to go to school. That would have been nice.

The forecast for today.

Still, it's nice to be getting snow for the second time this winter. At the same time, my online calculus homework is getting in the way of my enjoyment time. I probably should not have procrastinated. Well, that's really all for this post. Hopefully, I'll remember to keep posting everyday.

Book of Days

A few months back,  a friend of mine said that I should write in a day book in order to improve my writing skills. I, being a good friend, did so and began writing in a diary-like book, but after a short time, that became tiresome, and I soon forgot about it. Then, I remembered that I had a blogger, so I headed there, after some more encouragement from my friend, and made this. It's basically a blog where I'll just be posting whatever comes to mind when I type in it. Well, that's all for this post-y thingy.
