Things I Learn At School

[Bea]

Up until last week i thought that me leaving assignments to the last minute was just me procrastinating. :p But then i learnt that all i'm really doing is taking maximum advantage of float time. ;)

Float time is the largest amount of time you could possibly leave something but still get it finished on time. LOL!! Isn't it nice to have a good technical term to use.

All weekend i have been taking advantage of float time. I have three assignments which are due next week, and i had planned to get them all done this weekend. I think i put a grand total of 20 mins work time into getting one of them half finished. Better than no time i guess. :rolleyes: Now i have two half finished assignments, and one that's just not been started. Maybe i could drag myself away from the forums now and get a little more work done...maybe.

You can do it Bea! (if you're reading this and they're still done then...ummm...disregard)...:p
I did the same in school and in a sense I still do that now...I tell myself:rolleyes: that I work best under pressure..
Sometimes it's true- I clean better when I'm rushing, etc...

[Bea]

I just finished the one i started earlier! Just one and a half to go now and i'm not entirely sure i can be bothered to do anymore tonight. I probably should write the speech i'm supposed to do though. :rolleyes:

[Aly]

Come on Bea! Do them all! GO!

[Bea]

I'm hard at work, taking a little break because it's so boring. Once i've done the speech the other assignment is pretty fun, so it won't be so horrible during the week.

[Aly]

What do you have to do ?

[Bea]

Well i'm doing an english unit called The Individual In Society, and the assignment i'm slowly getting through now is an oral presentation on either a person who's greatly impacted society, or a cult/powerful group. I'm doing mine on the Exclusive Brethren which is a religious group that's been causing a fair bit of controversy in Australian politics the last few years. I did a research assignment on them last term so i have all the info, i just have to put it into speech form. It's so incredibly boring! :p

Once this is done i have a mini-guidebook to finish for tourism. It's pretty fun, i'm doing mine on Phillip Island which is part of Australia. It's such a cool place with awesome wildlife. :D

[Aly]

The guidebook is something I'd consider fun as well- definetly not as bad as the other. Atleast you have all the info already- you'll be done soon!

[Bea]

I'm DONE!!!! I still have to watch a video on the Exclusive Brethren and pick out a few mins of video to show as extra material. I can do that tomorrow though. Right now i'm overdue for bed. *zzZZZzzzZZzzzz*

[Aly]

GooD job! You got the hard part over with.

haha..... I love that, I will have to use it :p

Well what i've learnt is life is a %^#&@ and people have way to much drama in their lives. Some people just can't stick to the simple things and keep sharpening a crayon or pencil a small thing and has to make a big deal over it. You learn way to much and then you sneak youtube videos in class when the teacher is not around and get a great laught out of it. ( watch human tetris, thats what we did last friday lol)

[Bea]

I just finished my last assignment. I decided to get it done now rather than Thursday night just incase our colour printer decided to be difficult and not work. :p

[Aly]

See...that wasn't so bad... (says the one who didn't have to do the work):)

Now don't you feel better getting that out of the way :p

[Bea]

Yes!! Now my free time really is FREE! :p
