You asked for it... You're gonna get the full scope of my glorious freshmen year right now, packed into a neat little ball of shame. Let me preface this by saying that there are no tests here. Everything rests on papers and class participation. I turned in a paper yesterday that was due two weeks ago. This was for the same teacher to whom I turned in my conference paper six weeks late. I met with this teacher every week all semester to talk about that paper. It counted as one third of our credit for the class. Why was it late? I didn't start writing it until the night before it was due-I got seven (out of 18 ) pages done, and then did absolutely nothing for the month I had off for break. I started it again two weeks after getting back to school. I told her on the first day that I had it done, of course. We had about four small papers for that class last semester. I turned in every single one late, usually by a week or so. Never did the reading, obviously, so no class participation points for me.

Today's paper? In that class, I've turned in almost every paper late, the most recent one by two weeks. My conference paper I started the night before it was due. I've read literally two pages of the two books I'm supposed to have half-done by now for my new conference paper. My computer science course had weekly homework assignments. I turned them in late. Every. Week. I used basically the same excuse every time, too. Started my conference paper the night before I left for home, turned it in sort of... incomplete, and let it go because the class was over. I haven't done any of my homework for my programming class for the last week and a half. I have a huge assignment due Friday and I have no idea what language we're even doing right now. I'm also supposed to be learning java on my own. Not so much.

Oh and in every course last sem, I missed more than three classes. By a lot. You're only supposed to be allowed three missed classes to get any credit for the course. Oops. I'm also late to every single morning class I have.

Can't forget the fact that with all of this to do, I'm not doing jackshit right now.

I could go get stories from high school if this hasn't convinced you.
