I do a lot on the weekends. I'm SO busy during the weekdays that I get home at 10 some nights and now that travel season is starting, that takes away the weekend for tournaments.

But @Ce527M: I try and start my homework as soon as possible, but I get distracted by youtube every time or just jamming out to Pandora.

CE527M

Yeah, once I start I also get distracted...but the music only helps me work, so it`s a catch 22 situation.

Honestly, just shut down your computer, go in a room away from all the electronics, and do your homework that you can do without a computer. 60% of my homework needs a computer to get it done, so then, well, I get distracted.

AlexHarper

Most of my homework is done on the computer as well. I supposedly have ADD anyways...nothing ever works lol.

Do any of you actually enjoy doing homework? I really honestly do, I just hate being up until 2:00am and having so many deadlines.

@Marypoppopins...I don`t see how I`m lying...I`m only taking one AP class, and don`t have too many EC`s, so I`m not probably who you`re talking about, but I vouch for the authenticity...at my school, Biology is taken either freshman or sophomore year. If you have it freshman year, you can take Chem 10th if you have a high enough math, and also take AP Bio-Chem (A mix of both APs). I know a LOT of kids who are in Alg. 2 as a sophomore, or taking Pre-Calc right now. At my school, because of pre-rec`s, the most APs one can take is 2 for sophomore year. Maybe at your schools none of that`s possible, but at my school it is.

And secondly, why do you act like it`s a big deal to be taking more than one AP, when you said in another thread you`re taking 2, and in another thread, you said you had a lot of EC`s? I don`t get it. And in a thread of yours asking about college, you said you were in your junior year...something doesn`t add up. Care to share?

@AlexHarper....yes and no. Math and science homework? Uh, no. I`ll like doing homework for those classes the day pigs fly. English, yeah, it`s OK. AP World, eh, depends, sometimes it can be OK, and even writing the essays we have to right wouldn`t be so bad if I could take my time writing, but working when I`m really tired and it`s in the late PM-early AM, not liking it.

@CE527M @AlexHarper I have 3 essays to write tonight, and I won't be able to start on them until 7 or so. I am THE biggest procrastinator on earth, plus I get distracted really easily by the Internet. Most of my homework is computer-based, so the only way I can focus is basically to block a bunch of websites (facebook, youtube, etc...) and just listen to classical music haha.

CE527M

Ha, I have a cause and effect analysis (luckily only that for AP) and then some math.

So I guess you`ll have to block CC as well . Are we distracting?

AlexHarper

@Marypoppopins: I really take offense to this. I am so dedicated to my EC's and so are other people on this site. I manage taking 4 APS and ECS because I am dedicated and because I have goals. I am in 7 clubs because I want to be and I make time for every single one of them. I love being busy and I don't lie about any of my classes or EC's.

At my school we take earth science freshman year, biology sophomore year and chem junior year.
I doubled up in science last year so I took earth science honors first semester and honors biology the second, like other studious students. We are not allowed to take Biology AP or Chemistry AP until Junior and Senior year. I managed to get into some APs because I do meet the prerequisites for them. My school doesn't start foreign language until sophomore year. And the only reason I'm taking Honors Pre calc this year is because I doubled up.

CE527M

^ Definitely doesn`t seem like lying to me.

Really, your school doesn`t start foreign lang. till sophomore year? Huh, my school let`s us start taking it in 8th grade, and I thought that was late . I`m not taking it this year in order to double up in math, so I really won`t finish ahead of most at my school.

AlexHarper

Yeah its so weird! I mean at least start it freshman year so that we can get 4 solid years of it. I think its because my school only offers Spanish and we only have 2 Spanish teachers in the entire school.

Okay I've got a question: @CE527M: How did you come up with your username? Does it mean something?

CE527M

Ah, that makes sense. We`ve got like 3 or 4 Spanish teachers, plus we`ve got French and Latin, though I`d rather take German. Ah, well.

Haha, I`ve always wondered if anyone would ever ask me that. Yeah, not that creative or anything. The C is my first initial, E, middle initial, 527, birthday, M, last initial.

AlexHarper

Thats cool!!! I like it!

CE527M

Thanks. I feel bad for you all, you have to type it all out and can mess it up easily with all the numbers and letters.

goodnoodle

Yeah we have only upto Spanish II for non Hispanics. If you already know Spanish then there's a special 3 year program with Spanish Lang, Spanish Lit, and AP Spanish.

But aside from that I'm so back logged today. I have to do

A Spanish Brochure about our school
Design a ticket for winter formal
Ap Euro reading
And try to finish my online drivers Ed torture as soon as I can.

I should probably start that.

AlexHarper

Drivers Ed was so awful. So glad that is over.
