Anyone else with me?? (warning, rant!)

[pigletgirl]

I am SO SO SO SO SO sick of school! Man, after midterms finished I have no energy to continue all the way till mid december. This is horrible! My classes have become really boring, and I've resorted to facebook and the DIS during most classes, except for my lab class. I have never gotten this way. Maybe some early senioritis?

I get so distracted by things at home (esp. my sis), the holidays coming up and the fact that dbf's older sister just got engaged about 10 days ago, so there's alot on my mind as well. I just want the next 2.5mo of no work! i'm watching my tickers in the siggy, PRAYING that they fly by.....

And now, with my plan to graduate early I'm feeling the pressure more and more.

Did I really choose a good thing?

Tell me I'm going to be ok!!! I need some reassurance? Is there anyone else here going thru something similar? Please tell me I'm not the only one!

I feel the same way! I think it's just that slump that people get into after midterms. Like the end of semester isn't quite over yet, but nobody feels like doing anything anymore.

I have so much going on, but I still feel bored with it all. I've been skipping the classes that don't really require me to be there, because I just feel like I can't sit through it anymore!

I really do love school; I just feel kind of in a slump.

Maybe the early graduation thing isn't going to work for you? I would really hate for you to put all that pressure on yourself, especially if you aren't feeling motivated at the moment.

School is driving me up the wall. I hate all of my classes except for my political science class. English is byfar the worst, and I'm not getting good grades in it. The only classes I'm getting awesome marks in are math and poli sci. And the problem is, is it's looking like I may have to pursue maths in university because I honestly don't think my english or french mark is going to be high enough to get by alone on an arts degree with no math involved.
Which means 3 math courses next year =(

English = teacher lying about when we get to read, essays to write every night about stupid short stories (mostly when I don't have time) and her marking out of 4. YOU CANNOT GET A GOOD MARK OUT OF 4! 3/4 is 75% for heavens sake! And next to nobody gets a 4 from her. I keep getting 2.5/4, which obviously is going to cause my grades to slip tremendously.

Yes. I'm exhausted from the amount of work. Between all my hard classes, then all the clubs I'm in there is never a night where I can go home and think "I have nothing due." It's not that I hate my classes, I like them, but I feel like the work is just pile after pile that I don't have time to enjoy it at all.

There is always something that's due, something that needs to be done, & something that needs planned. I'm just tired of having so much to do! Craziness!

I AM SO TIRED OF SCHOOL. i have a test in EVERY class next week. i feel like my brain is going to explode.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Myself and every other person I've talked to has HIT the wall.
We are all dead tired, frustrated, and SICK of school.

Our school has this online grade check thing. I go to a catholic school so I have to take a religion class. In that class I had 1 zero because I didn't do the assignment on the day the quarter ended. Now, a week after the quarter ended, I suddenly got 7 zero's today. Conferences were today and all the teacher could tell my parents was "I don't understand why his grades say that". School is so stupid.

Normally, I'd be completely with you. I typically hate school so much I would miss at least a day every year. Some years it was the work, some years it was the people, some years it was both, and some years I just didn't have the drive to wake up, get myself ready and go there. Sometimes it's all of the above and I'm a total and complete mental wreck.

But this year? So far, I'm really enjoying school. I have really great friends who seem to like me for me, and the schoolwork load isn't too bad. Sure, the work can be stressful sometimes when i procrastinate for too long (which is bound to happen, and has already). And yes, sometimes I wake up and just don't feel like going. But all in all, school this year for me has been amazing.

You can't take a few days off and then do your tests? Upper respiratory infections can easily turn into something really bad, like pneumonia, which would cause you to miss a lot more class than you would have if you had gotten over the respiratory infection.

But in my opinion, schools need to be more tolerant and understand that people get sick, and that they need to get better. If more schools had closed down for swine flu outbreaks I bet it wouldn't be as bad.

nope, i can't. (i'm in college) and my professors are really really strict about missing a test. i think its cause sometimes people will lay out and say that they're sick, and then ask their friends what was on the test, and take a few extra days to study before they have to take it. so my professors say you have to have a doctors note for the time of the test, to get a makeup on it. which, i don't have. health services told me i wasn't contagious= no note.

missing a class isn't a big deal, just missing a TEST, kwim? so i'm not going to any of my classes right now, except the test classes, and i'm trying to stay in bed and rest up as much as possible.

Ah. That really, really sucks... And I feel you. My highschool has a strict attendance policy (but luckily my teachers are good about turning in makeup things). It is really bad when some people ruin it for people who really aren't well.

I hope you get better soon, though!

thanks, and i totally agree about some people ruining it for the rest of us.

 

[pigletgirl]

Its the worst when you're sick!! That really blows. When I was sick this past spring for 3 weeks, I had to go deep within myself to make it thru each day!

Hope you are feeling better soon Shelby!

I'm able to incorporate disboards into my work, because it isn't blocked on the school computers... And everything we do it on computers. =D

I've had a week off for Half Term, and I already want the next break to come...

I try to get Disney into my work at school. I used Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Conservation Fund for my Biology coursework last year... I could probably use it during Geography this year too. Oh, and I used DHS as an example of rebranding in my Geography exam last year. I think I used it as an example in globalisation as well. Hmm, Disney can be incorporated pretty well into Geography. Actually, for my personal statement on Geography, i've used a quote from It's a Small World to open it up, and explaining how well it can be used to describe the subject...

Me too George!

I've been back for a week after just having half term, and I already can't wait for Christmas. I truly am just not motivated. The course I'm doing also means I only got 4 free periods a week, and I do extra-curricular stuff during those 4 so I basically have no free time in the school day. Then I have all the added elements of the IB and I seriously am behind on so much of the extra added stuff.
Argh.
Roll on Christmas!
