OK, guys I need some help here, I am too addicted to this site, and well by Monday I have to take notes on a few chapters
And also I big project, Inlcuding a 3 page essay and an outline
THIS SITE IS TOO ADDICTING
So the whole time I have this up while trying to do my work, I just gotta see whats going on
O and we were all just notified about the notes being due monday due to the schools site being down until today
And also some of the work that was already completed we have to "redo" because when the site was down some of the grades went down too

So please tell me how not to procracinate

You are a big girl, I think you just hafta decide that school work might be more important right now. You can always come to this site after your school work is done.

I know but its so hard for me to concentrate on one thing, so I go back and forth alot because I just cant concentrate on one thing at a time, I am one of those people that like to multi task but then i get myself off of task too at the same time
I think i am gonna drink ALOT of pop this week
and go get things with a lot of sugar too
And I am laying my foot down, there is NO babysitting for me this weekend! I got things I gotta do
I hope it works, anytime I say that its like o well do it later, and so far thats been every weekend due to my SIL becoming catholic so they can have a big wedding
ANd well I cant put it off any longer, and they always say well do it here, u know how hard it is to work at their house with a 2 year old, a 3 year old, and a 7 year old! And when finally they come home I am ready to pass out from those kids

Are you married or taken? Have your SO put a password blocking this site so you can't go on until you've got stuff done


I blame TCS for me not getting stuff done all the time, so you're not alone

If you are going to college and you are gonna go for a while, then you need to get started on stuff like that now.

My daughter went to college for 6 1/2 years to get her masters degree. She studied all the time. She didn't have a lot of free time to do a lot of fun stuff. Her education was very important to her.

It is important to me, and I did stay on top of it mostly, until these notes came up because I do most of my work now at night, until I actually go to a doctor for my thyroid (gotta find a good specialist and they are hard to find around here i went to one and they lost all my test results) And my other thig I actually had on a floppy disk, and well I came home to learn thaat I didnt have a floppy disk drive in my computer downstairs, thats what i get when my brother tells my mom what to get, so then I initially thought u know Id go to my berothers and do it that night and well he didnt have one either, but luckily I got it and it is on child abuse (the essay and I have ALOT of information from 2 years research, senior project started it last year actually) And well I just gotta transfer all of that to paper and I am trying to get in contact with my teachers to help me I am just waiting fro that phone call, and well with PSSA's and the english teachers all helping I gotta wait longer! I am good at outlines its just paragraphs and essays are my weak points! At my old school they really didnt teach you much so this year I am learning the right way to do things and everything thank goodness ! Thanks to alot of patience from my teachers too

I hear ya. Having the same trouble. Actually I know that if it wasn't TCS keeping away from my homework, it would be something else. I have gone to school for 6 years to get my bachelor's - my sister has almost completed her bachelors & master's, in 7 years. I know I need to focus and that is my problem. I have too many other thoughts and concerns going through my head. I do know that all those problems will still be there for me stew over when my paper is done. Just need to do it!
It is just me, Seb and the new kitten here and I don't trust them with passwords - can you imagine the blackmail possibilities?

o ya i can imagine those possibilities, ecspecially since I think my kitties are trying to LOCK me out of my computer all together, they have logged off and i was like uhh...idk the password guys because I dont have one so I usually just hit alot of keys and it works


But I have so much threw my head, last night tho I did do a "current event" thing on the recall, and well a thing when she asks for a summary and paragraph 3-5 sentences minimume of ur opinion and a paragraph as the summery well lets say the summary was right but my opinion on the recall was a page and a hlaf long and I could have kept going
i thought tho maybe i should have stopped in case she takes points for being TOO LONG
she likes it tho for current events because I always do something about animals and she never hears anything, i told her sorry another animal one last time we did these current events and she wrote me back like o no its not a problem I love it, its something different

But man so many thoughts and I guess 2 years of getting prepared and the time comes I guess im just freaking out because u have to speak in front of TOTAL strangers, since this is a cyber school u never meet these people and I will 2 times and thats my graduation and senior project presentation! But its also a reality check like...uh ur growing up! Theres no more messing up now on ect. u know what I mean

Get off TCS and get to work on your school work! You won't have TCS or the internet at all if you can't get your work done, support yourself, and pay the internet bills
Now get to work gorgeous!!! We'll all be here when you get done!

I always do it this way:

15 minutes homework
5 minutes TCS time
15 minutes homework
5 minutes TCS time

That way, I get breaks & do better on my homework. If I get stressed out over something, I take an extra TCS break to clear my mind.

Trust me, its not worth the stress when you haven't gotten the work done

Once you've finished you'll feel so much better

well im pretty much done with my outline I just have to type the rest up (hlaf is typed the other half, well it needs to get typed up) because of all the notes I have i figured it would be easier to do it on paper first, well finish it on paper
and well 3 to 5 pages of writing this doubled space aint going to be bad, it should actually be quite simple because most of it is pretty much done in the outline i just have a feeling theres going to be way more than 5 pages, just because I have 17 roman numerals total, and also my outline which isnt doubled spaced is already 3-4 pages long
maybe thats why it took me so long
and most have A and B underneath of them and well i wrote sentences down with it and I can add quickly to those, just have to send in the outline tomarrow hope she gets back to me by saterday and type it up and wait for her to revise and fix my mistakes (Which there WILL be some lol) so 1 thing almost done
Just so much more to do! But my foam matress FINALLY came after waiting 3 weeks, my moms came over a week ago and a thing from a whole nother order cam already too, but finally my thing is here but have to wait till my brothers not home to do it because well my mom bought me one and not him
and o man I will sleep and be so much more prepared to work
