I'm a bad bad girl.

So, I have a midterm in US history in the morning. I don’t want to take it. I haven’t even really started studying for it. I am bored by everything we’ve covered so far. I also don’t see the point of having a midterm in a six week, Saturday only course. We spend two weeks learning. One week taking a test. Two weeks learning and another week taking the final.
So, I left work at 5:00 with the knowledge that I have to be an expert on Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Train Strikes and Woman’s Suffrage - all before I go to bed tonight. So, what do I do? I got my nails done! :smiley: They look so nice. I also stopped at the deli to get some yummy sammiches and potato wedges for dinner. Then, I stopped at the corner store to buy lottery tickets and a drink. I ate dinner. I took the trash down. I had a popsicle. I’m watching House Hunters and screwing around on the internet.
On the one hand, I feel really bad about blowing off my studying. After all, I AM paying a butt load of money for this class and it is required for my degree. On the other hand, I’ve always hated History and I didn’t want to take the class in the first place.
I did actually study the train strikes last night and I’m about half done studying Carnegie. I just remembered that I also have to do my homework for the week - read a chapter and answer a bunch of questions.
What really sucks is that my conscience is going to beat me up if I try to go to bed without finishing all this tonight.
I can’t believe I’m being so bad. I love school. I love studying. I just really don’t feel like doing it right now.

Please guys - don’t bitch me out about wasting my professor’s time, my parent’s money or for being an irresponsible child. There’s a reason this isn’t in the pit. I’m a perfectly responsible adult and I’m paying my own way so the only person I’m screwing is myself

yeah, you’re a bad girl. say three hail marys, skim your notes and get a C on the test.

That’s OK-we like bad girls! :wink:

congodward, that’s interesting to know that you think there’s nothing wrong with screwing yourself over.

But I understand completely if this isn’t the time to study. Cut yourself a little more slack. But how much time? Thirty minutes? Time for a shower and a cup of coffee? Then don’t beat up on yourself at all for thirty minutes.

Then do what you gotta do, girl.

Or try telling your professor you’ve been a bad bad girl. Demonstrate your sincere interest in learning by dressing up in a schoolgirl uniform. I’ll think you’ll find him surprisingly sympathetic.

Actually, I’m kind of distressed that I seem so willing to blow off this class. However, I did manage to kick myself into gear. I should be able to get a B on this. I finished reading the chapter my professor assigned for this week. It was all about Wilson wimbling on foreign policy, and WWI.
I also studied the 4 questions I want to address on my test tomorrow. I still have to write the page and a half for each question but that is what I have to do in class tomorrow.

All I have to do now is answer the 12 questions that relate to the chapter I just read. Unfortunately, it’s 10:54 and I have to get up for school at 5:30. I have to finish this soon.
Little Nemo: if I thought it would help me, I would. However, I’m about 80 pounds over weight. Despite the big boobs, red hair, and blue eyes, I don’t think I’m that yummy looking that any school girl outfit would help me. Besides, I’m the same age as my professor’s daughters - that’s just icky.

A bad girl who screwed herself over… Uh-oh! Naughty thoughts!
Well I didn’t study for my calculus quiz that was this morning, after missing two classes. So, I win.


Another drunken post from:

You’re right, you do win. I just finished my test and despite forgetting a name, I think I did quite well. I have a wicked cramp in my hand but I finished 40 minutes early so unless everyone else finishes early, I have a nice break ahead of me.

I love this school. There’s a computer right outside my classroom so I can screw around while everyone else takes the test :smiley:
