all nighter

[anachronistic]

i think i am going to have to pull off an all nighter;

i have 2 tests to study for.

one is on macbeth (entire thing) and i sorta skimmed through it instead of read it in detail.

the other one is a history test.

not only that, but by wednesday, i have to have read a 900 page book for english, and i am only on page 100 (after reading for 3 hours.. yes i have poor reading skills)

the problem is that every time i do this, i end up falling asleep in the middle of the study, or i am too tired to go to school the next day. there is no cocacola in the fridge. i HATE coffee. what can i take to bounce me off the walls, other than pure sugar?

hey zarathu, got any idea where i could get answers to an accelerated reader test?

Jolt Cola. That has a large amount of caffeine in it. I remember when I drank one, I was bouncy. You could always drink energy drinks. But why the hell did you wait to read a 900 page book until now? And you should work on your reading skills because that is way to slow.

Oh yeah. Because reading skills completely has to do with procrastination. Nice one again, Jurupa. ^_^

But it doesn't have to do with procrastination, but real world stuff.

I thought you said it has to do with his reading skills....

It does. He knows how fast or slow of a read he is. He should have taken the correct steps to make sure he read the book before it was to late to. I would assume the teacher gave the students a good amount of time to read the book. I would guess it was 2 months, but I could be wrong.

Well, that could be taken as procrastination. Be sure though not to confuse laziness for procrastination.

it was not an assigned book; each semester, we are required to read a certain number of books, through a program called accelerated reader, which bases books by points. we were supposed to reach a goal of 35 points this semester.

what happened was, i read the book alas babylon, which is 12 points. i had 23 points left. i couldnt find a book worth that exact amount. i picked out an interesting book that is 44 points. harry potter and the order of the phoenix.

laugh if you want, i know. i am a slow reader, i have problems reading, because i often daydream and wander off task. especially when it is something that doesn't spark my interest. i comprehend what i read, it's just that i have a hard time concentrating.

i procrastinated becaues during the time in which we are supposed to read, i am stuck at a table with ignorant ****s, who sit there and talk the whole god damn time. i don't have any other time that i can read in a day. i am busy from 6:30 in the morning, when i have singing lessons, to 1 o clock in the morning when i get done with my daily homework.
