classic advice...decide not to to be a loser etc blah blah blah...but not very helpful, no offense to you,btwclogar wrote:
make the decision to like your classes
anyway, my advice : if you don't like school focus on other things like getting rich girls
But seriously, not liking school isn't that big of a problem. You're a class clown, make people laugh, do standup, become a comedian. Don't try to be someone you're not

Needless to say, we were short one textbook whenever we had to do classwork that year.
It doesn't help that I hang out with other class clowns... Haha.
My favorite is still the Tesla Coil in my Electric Shop class and the resulting glowing bulbs in hand. That was when I decided to go "engineer/science" instead of the medical or business field.cowami wrote:

There's two ways to make it in this world - with your back or with your brain. It's up to you to choose.
I graduate in exactly three months to the day. This is by far the worst part of all my years in school. I have so many things to look forward to, and my English teacher is really making things difficult. She's as old as time, from South Africa, and thinks our senior class is the biggest group of fuck-ups she has ever seen. Nothing but lectures on how we are the most underachieving class and will never amount to anything if we don't know exactly why Jonathan Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels in our own words in 5 pages or more. I'm sure my DI's will be thrilled to find out one of the recruits knows that, and they'll most certainly reward me for that.
I try to forget about it by thinking of how much fun my summer will be. I have a fishing trip up to Mammoth for a week, seven days in the Bahamas with 4 of my buddies and a drinking age of 18, a road trip up to Edmonton, Canada, with 3 friends + more who live there, for Fragapalooza 2008. After Fraga is over, most of the people who I know in Edmonton are driving back down with me to CA and we're gonna go to the beach, Six Flags, etc. Then, I leave for boot camp on August 25, and graduate November 21, just in time for Thanksgiving. After that, I don't know where I'll be or what I'll be doing, exactly, and I kinda like that.

3 months, 6 days for me
No possible way....maybe take better teachers but that only does so much...ThaReaper wrote:

Its pretty much fucking boring until you get done will your general stuff. The only thing to do is sit down and do it.
Its hard, I slack off way to much...but you have to think about it and realize, there is nothing stopping you from sitting down and getting something done but your self. Sit down and start working, thats the only way to get things done.
The only real motivation is the years you will have to spend in a JC making up the work you could have done in highschool...but unfortunately you don't realize that until your working on transferring and some damn 22 year old you know is getting there degree.
all i did in english for the last three years was try to get the teacher in bed
