[maryjanehaze]

ya so basically homework is ruining my life this year (junior year high school) with tons of outlining, essays, and all kinds of fuckin tests to study for.

i'm currently just finishing a 2,500-word minimum english essay w/ tomorrow being our last day before grades are final, and i still have to outline like 40 pages of useless info from the lovely all-text history textbook. After that I have to write up an type a formal chemistry lab, and if I'm lucky I might be able to get away with1 hour of sleep :glugglug:. because I knew i had so much damn work i realized i wasn't even be able to toke up today. Don't get me wrong I am not at all an overacheiver, i mean, all this shit i'm doing now is just so i can pass...

I graduated from college with honors. The trick is to know your strengths and weaknesses. I'm good at getting ideas when I'm stoned and I wrote most of my papers blazed. I would then correct the errors while straight. However, for math(weak area for me), I would wait and "reward" myself with a joint after the assignment was done. Start on assignments the day they are given. The kids in class thought I was kind of crazy when I started my term papers a couple of weeks into class. But when finals and term papers finally came around, they were going crazy, while I had my paper done and could concentrate on the finals. NEVER put off an assignment because you have X weeks to finish it! Get them done early! Then you have the luxury of putting the report down for a week and looking at it with fresh eyes (you catch a lot of mistakes that way). Hang in there, you can make it through this!

its nice to know that we've got a responsible person like you around man that can actually set aside smoking and focus on school. You are a good example of what a responsible smoker is. I respect that

Hey man....this is how it works tho....get the work done (no matter how long it takes) then reward urself with some smoke. In the end it will work out awesome. good luck though man, ur gonna make it. I know ur a good student.

Just don't leave thing until that last minute. When you get an assignment, start on it, or do it that very day.

I can say I didn't do well in High School alone and never graduated, but a few years ago I went back to college to get my HS equiv. diploma, and I passed with flying colors.

The last math class I took was a full semester of algebra alone. I toked everyday, a few times before class, but I found I couldn't remeber clearly of that days lesson. After classes and on my free time, I did my school work, and by 6pm, I had the entire night free. I passed with a 78% average.

You just have to have your priorities straight. School should come first before anything. Do your work, then play, and don't leave things until the last minute, or homework builds up leaving you shocked from amount of work that needs to be done. Do a little everyday and lighten the load.

A 2500 workd essay is not that bad either. That's only about 3 or 4 pages of info., that's not much if you do half a page a day.

School, then play (ganja)

Storm Crow's got the right idea :thumbsup: I also graduated with honors, pretty much following the same process. You just got to find what works for you (and more importantly-what doesn't work) and stick with it.You'll get through it. Seeing as how you put off toking for the day, because you knew you had so much to do, it looks like your'e on the right track.

Now for the depressing thought of the day: It never gets easier. It may change, but 10-15 years from now your going to look back and realize just how easy high school was. If you plan on going to college you'll see those 2500 word essays become 50-100 page papers. You'll also have to read a several hundred pages a night. What's worse, in many classes the entire grade will be based on one paper and one test, so you absolutely can't fuck it up.

After college comes a career, maybe a wife and kids, bills, taxes, etc. Then you'll look back and see how easy college was. You see, the circumstances and specific tasks may change but (unless you win the lottery) you never get that gold pot at the end of the rainbow. They key is to simply remember that it's all part of life. It is inevitable and everyone goes through it. Don't focus on the bad things or you'll go crazy. Instead, always focus on what's good. There's a lot of good out there if you just look.

tell your teacher your not doing it, school work is for school, home is not for school work. its like trying to mix church and state, they cant, they try to, but they cant. tell your teacher to go suck a fat nut cause your not doing schoolwork at home.

Ive been having trouble getting my homework done lately. Ive been depressed quite a bit, and I have ADHD which doesn't help with school. My doctor won't prescribe me with medication for it like adderall or ritilin, even though Ive tried both from a couple friends and they worked great. Instead I have to go to these stupid kind of therapy classes (NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!) and because of this I have poor grades. I just cant remember what homework I have to do, and I get angry and do rash things easily. I'm actually pretty bright though, before I was given a lot of homework in school (3-6 grades) I got all A's and im currently in all of the AP classes. My grades have nothing to do with my intelligence

I am in College, and yes, HOMEWORK FUCKING SUCKS!
