Of Students: Part 2 | 6.26.03 Prcrastination Hey don’t get me wrong about procrastination and stuff. It’s not good if you can’t control it. But everyone who tells you that procrastination is bad are hypocritical liers. Of course it always works better when you aren’t under pressure and you have time to critque it. But it teaches you how to be efficient. I mean what if you actually want to have a life and talk to that girl in you’re 3rd period class, over the internet or something. I don’t want to look back on my life and I’m single going, “man what the hell was I doing suffering all alone in front of the computer doing repetitive homework” So you decide to do you’re report the day before it’s due. Well I don’t think it matters when you do it, as long as you put forth the same amount of effort or more. Think about it this way: You’re going to spend 2 hours on this project. Does it really matter if you spend that two hours the first day or the last day if you’re going to spend two hours one it. Now, of course, you have to know what you’re doing and how do it and how do it well in those two hours. Writing essays You know I want to find a teacher that cares much about you’re voice and how you write than about putting a comma in the right place. I want a teacher that cares about you’re expression and making you’re self a person and not just another one of those A students that write good essays that all sound the same. I mean the minute they break writing down into sentences, commas, and all that other good stuff. You lose that creativity, the feeling. It’s not about manupulating words and using them as you’re voice, but about “Oh crap, I forgot a comma”. Having a Life You know, I find that most teachers are hypocrites. If you’re an Honors or Excel student they expect you to be a stereotypical Honors or Excel student. The perfect models. They expect you to listen and never ever even upon the threat of torture speak unless you’re called on. Even if the teacher is wrong, or the guy next to you is dying or something. Then they lecture us about stereotyping people and about not judging others and stuff. Oh and have you ever noticed that teachers can have a life but not their students. I mean the teachers over load on homework and then they go prancing off to some movie and stuff and then accuse you of not doing what you’re supposed to be doing. When questioned they give a simple answer “oh yeah, I just didn’t feel like grading those papers.” Psh, oh yeah I just didn’t feel like doing my project… You know there was this comic about people being teachers, all they had to do was stay one lesson ahead of the students. I think it’s true. You know if the teachers really do know what they know, why can’t they just teach us something pratical and like common sense. I don’t see how figering out, the square root of pie times x squared all of that over delta x minus z to the third power, is going to help you understand that it’s just common sense to have money on you when your going to go shopping. And that bright shiney cool thing that you bought in japan costs $100. Don’t get me wrong, algebra 4 stuff is good, for you’re job. But I wish algbra 4 could tell why my stapler won’t work. Books Boy do they really have to make those text books so big. I mean I got one of those super heavy duty you-can’t-break-this-with-fire-and-knives type back packs. But apparantly 2 books, 3 binders, and a flight of stairs did the trick just fine. “oi almost there, boy I’m glad I have this back pack” SNAP “w…wah, I feel pain on only one sholder now….” Some times I wonder if the text book company get paid to make big books. It’s just not enough saying everything they have to say on 100 pages, they have to repeat them selves 5 times over, only it doesn’t look like it cause they use a heavy duty thesaurous. Who writes dictionaries anyways? And who writes thesaurauses? I mean the guy just sits there and has the power to completely scew up our knowledge of the unknown words of this language. I mean he could come up with "aspieofaefnv3” and say it means pie, and we’d be like “HEY LOOK WHAT I LEARNED!” Who gave them power to manipulate all words in existance and decide what they should be spelled like. And what about thesaurauses? Isn’t it enough that we have one supercalifragilisticexpalidocious? But never mind that. Personally I like thesaurauses, I’m just wondering why you need a dictionary and a thesaurous. I mean the dictionary is practically a thesaurous. “Stupid, see idiot. Idiot, see stupid” ~ Wei |
