"I should probably do some work"

It's 9pm and I'm back at school tomorrow. So far, out of my holiday homework (which included re-doing pretty much the entire analysis and design stages for long course ICT) I have only managed to read a short story for English. I'm in deep poop.

The problem with having so much work involving computers is that I go on the computer ready to work and then I think, "I'll just have a quick look on SR" or, "I'll just have quick couple of rounds of poker." Then I never actually do the work. It's happening right now.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll get away with it, I always do.

That's the sort of sentence that I know I'll regret saying.

I'm the reverse of that. Many people choose not to do the work, a malicious attack on the education system whilst I sometimes have innocently got a reason, which is never accepted (you'll see where this is going soon-ish)

Basically, I seriously don't tend to hear half of the work set (a phenomenon unique to History) and yet whenever someone who has chosen not to do a piece doesn't the deadline is extended, when I didn't know and couldn't do it ... guess what? ... not only is it not extended but it's sometimes brought forward!

I hate this system of 'no prior warning necessary'. Grr.

Heh, I used to get that feeling as well. I did used to be extremely lucky when it came to not doing work, for example lessons not happening or deadlines being extended.

Unfortunately, nobody from my school is on MSN, I reckon they're all doing the work too. Oh well, I'll have to risk it tomorrow.

RMT = Resistant Materials, which may be the equivalent of "Woodwork" at your school.

I don't know what you mean either.

Lost in translation

Yeah, I've tons of work for tomorrow and have so far done none of it.

Good times.

I'm going to look back on 6th year with a certain fondness, I think

I don't even know what RMT is. Also, I'm in short course Design which may have something to do with it.

Then you're just drafting/the remedial group;

We did all of our projects on A3 paper and the minimum length of anyone's project was 18 pages.

Are you actually doing RMT, or another D&T?

Watching tennis. Better than working.

And to tnc, I don't think that's the right thing, I was told it should fit on one side of A4.

Oh, you make me laugh :'D

I'm afraid completing the work to a high enough standard (bearing in mind it's out of three marks) literally takes hours, simply to present the idea neatly and correctly.

I'll give you this info. though;

-Add a problem, need and brief (gap in the market, why you're making something and about your task)
-Add background info on your audience and product
-Add a chart saying what you need to research
-Perhaps include a Brainstorm of how you got to the ideas

And that was to JFH

What else are you doing other than posting here out of interest?
