All right, I just can't seem to grasp why I do this. Here's an example scenerio:
It's 2 pm, and I've just driven home from school. (As per usual.) and I've been assigned one Math (Maths for you retarded Europeans) assignment and let us say an English assignment. Now, ofcourse the first thing I do when I get home, grab some food. I don't eat breakfast, and usually pocket my lunch money. So I grab some food, and now I've got about 3 pm to 1 am to do what I want until I get up at 6 am to go to school the next morning.
Now, I figure homework will take me an hour on average. (I usually assess this everyday, and reach the same conclusion.) So I say "Hey, I'll do it after dinner at around 6 pm." Right, well I play Fable, BS, wack off, go hang with my mates, what have you. Dinner rolls around at 6 pm, so I eat, then return to my room and say to myself "Meh, it's only 6 pm, I've still got 6-7 hours left to do it. I'll do it at 8." So I BS for another hour or so. But then something will distract me. I'll go watch TV, or chat online. 8:45 rolls around and I'm just like "Hmm, I'll just do it at 10, then go to bed." So I end up BSing, and it's 10. So ofcourse, I say to myself "I've still got over two hours, and it'll only take one, I'll just do it at 12." Right, so the clock hands hit 12, and I go "All right, time to do my homework. But I'll hop into the shower first.
...
Why? Why do I do that? I hop into the shower, and by the time I hop out, get ready for bed/homework, it's 1 am. Time to go to bed. I could stay up and do it, sure. But the last thing I want to do is drive a car on four hours of sleep. So what happens? Easy, same thing that happened ALL of last year, I do my Math(s) homework in my Art class, my goverment homework in my Computer Lit class, and my English homework somewhere in between. It happens every day, it happened last year, it happened sophomore year, and I did it in freshmen year, and it's happening again this year. And ofcourse, EVERY year I tell myself I'm not going to do it next year.
First assumption (of my own, and probably yours):
I'm lethargic. I assumed this had to be it. I'm lazy, that's it. But then I realised, I'm not. Friend calls me up, I'll walk a mile to their house. Whatever. Parents want me to dig up the backyard, no problem. Go to the store get some milk, sure. I do all of these things, with ease. Not even a sense of "I don't want to."
Second assumption:
I'm rebellious. I don't do it, to "fight the system"? I'm some sort of rebel? That can't be it. There's nothing I want to do more than graduate highschool, and go to college to start my all ready selected career. (Note, this is also the "I don't care" assumption.)
I know a lot of people don't do their homework, don't care about it, etc etc. But I seriously don't get this. My teachers ask me "Why don't you do your homework?" And all I can say is "Uhh...."
I'm not some smart ass kid, that can not do his homework, and get straight A's. My GPA was a mid 2.0 last year. Nothing to brag about for sure. I'm quite capable of getting straight A's (1's for you people across the big blue.) IF I did my homework. But I don't.
Right, so that's it. Comment or no. Have a nice day.
