Procrastination

Nearly every day, I am assigned homework in one form or another. Sometimes it's a worksheet. a written paragraph, or even an essay. I believe I speak for everyone when I say that homework sucks some serious ass. It seems that I am assigned homework in the fields that I don't want to go into, like Algebra and Biology, and almost never in the classes that I enjoy, so I find it difficult to finish the homework because I cannot apply myself. For example, it's hard to concentrate on the arrangement of nucleotide bases when my mind is set on drawing comics or beheading zombies.

Most of these examples end up with me doing what every high-schooler has been guilty of on at least one occasion: procrastinating. But the difference between myself and everyone else on the face of the planet is that I procrastinate daily. To illustrate this, let me explain my day-to-day life: I wake up with unfinished HW from the night before, I get to school and half-heartedly complete a portion of the homework and fill in answers like "llamas" or "spontaneous combustion" ( I actually did this on a Bio worksheet once, because I knew she wasn't going to collect it). I go through the school day, then go to speech team (which also conveniently gets in the way of me doing my homework). After Speech Team practice, I go home and sit in front of the television watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and somewhat do part of the homework. Repeat.

Usually when I'm watching TV, my mom comes downstairs and asks if I have any homework, which I deny, and I continue to watch Star Trek, completely forgetting about the assignments.

And the funny thing is, despite my continuous and vigorous procrastination, I still get A's and B's on my report card. HAHAHAHA.
