So Doran and I have basically been dying under loads of homework this week. He's got it worse than I do, what with that stupid Art History class, but we're both up late at night like this still finishing. I guess that's probably our fault though, since we both like to procrastinate.
I blame it on technology. My reasons? Not only does it give me something to blog about, but it's also something that my class talked about in core the other day. With computers and the internet to broaden our social lives and TV to transport us from reality, it's not that difficult for the average teen to simply not work. Add it with Senioritis and you've got one hell of a slacker.
Not that I'm a slacker. I always do my homework and I finish it before it's do and I actually try. But the closer it gets to graduation the more I procrastinate. And Doran.. Well, he just procrastinates all the time. Haha.
My main problem with finishing homework is that while I'm working I have the TV on and my laptop in front of me with Facebook taking up the screen. Lately, though, the TV has been turned to a radio channel, just so I can have noise in the background. But Facebook I refresh like, every ten seconds because their stupid update thing doesn't work as well as I would like it to.
I think the other problem is that my homework lately has gotten repetitive. For English all I'm doing is reading and answering questions. In Calculus I'm practicing for the AP Calc exam by doing previous ones. In History it's notes every time, and in Bio I've been answering questions. It's not all that interesting anymore, but I trudge through it because I feel obligated to. It feels like a murky swamp of papers. I don't know.
Anyway, it's uber late and I'm really tired. Maybe you guys have the same feelings about homework? Post a comment if you do. Or if you don't. Doesn't matter. Toodles.
Totally know how you feel. AP Art History used to be fun, because I actually kind of like the subject. Now I just hate it because it has become a never-ending pile of monstrous and horrifyingly boring papers and notes.
ReplyDeleteTeachers need to learn that there HAS to be a balance, and when somebody has been doing the same old shit day in and day out...are they really gaining anything from it anymore? Some teachers need to lighten up and realize that huge quantities of homework and boring repetition is a surefire way to make sure your students don't learn as well as they could.
