Title: I just BSed an entire essay on a book I have not read...
Post by: Knight Templar on December 14, 2004, 03:29:09 am
... in two hours (Well, not consecutively). That's the thing, it's a good essay, and I just spent an hour typing up the last 75%. Yet, it's 1:23 A.M. here, and I've been 'doing homework' since 7:30 P.M. with an hour off at 11 to watch the Daily Show / Family Guy.

My point is, between 7:30 and 11, I did the entiretyof comming here twice, SG, reading up on the Serbian-Croatian conflict on the Wiki, and finding different websites to tell me about this book (Incidentally, The Republic [by Plato], good read in a 1984-but-ancient-greece sort of way.) and talking. That brings me to my musing that Procrastination is great, just don't squander your time between now and then. Think of how much... err... FREDing I could have done in my lifetime by now if I didn't hate using the damned thing.


Oh, and Ironically, I've yet to read either of the novels mentioned here. As long as I don't waste the time in between...

I was up from 9pm to 8am working with nary a rest to finish my damn homework for my damn school, which mostly consisted of painting with guache, which I find handles like ****.

And I got a ****ing C on it, after all the effort.

Though I must commend you KT, you have done us slackers proud. And incidentall, what are you reading about the Serbian/Croatian throwdown, and why? (I have to ask, since it unusual for anyone not native to the region to take an interest)

I had a one-page paper due the beginning of class, and I wrote it while the teacher was telling us to hand it in.
I got a 90 :)

Mostly because they happened while I was alive, yet I still know very little of them.

Also, I honestly think my problem is that I'm not a slacker at al in my heart, or in my mind, but I get bored with things that take long, or I just don't feel 'in the mood' so I procrastinate / cut corners. I still get high marks on things like papers, and I even care about what and how I do in subjects, I just get distracted easily, it seems.

It wasn't that sort of essay, nor is it exactly 'known' that I didn't read he book at all.

And no, I did not plagerise.

Once again, I've procrastinated important things to the last minute. This time, it's a speech and major studying for a spanish test. Speech needs to be written by Thursday, test is tomorrow. If I don't pass, I am teh ****ed, as usual.

On the upside, I did induldge myself with a little bit of Rome this afternoon, although I feel like **** about it now.

Ha!

I still have that same spanish test, which I'll probably fail. I think I'm going to say that I'll do some math before I go to my untimely slumber, but I think I'll end up just trying to study everything for at least five minutes each, writing some **** that theorhetically should inspire me not to be such a slacker tard and then go to bed. Sans the inspirational ****. I can always write that tomorrow.
