Doing Homework

So you’ve got a lot on your plate; cranberries, hotsauce, tuna, fried chicken, shrimp, fried bananas, fried ice cream, and all of the cottage cheese in your house (you’re not going to eat the cottage cheese you’re going to rub it over your body).  Along with eating all of the stuff on that plate you have a lot of things to do, you play basketball, you are the manager for the middle school basketball team, you’re the equipment manager the girls varsity basketball team,  you’re student council president, you have a blog to work on, you’re planning an assassination on Snookie, and to top it all of you are working for the Republican party.  With this much stuff to do you hardly have time to do your homework, but if you follow these guidelines, you can do it.

Rule number one, when you’re doing your homework, be doing your homework.  I know it’s tempting to be on facebook and I know how important it is that your friend Tod just put up pictures of his drivers license, but your eyes can wait to see Tod’s drivers license. ya feel me?

Next, this one is actually kind of fun but when you’re working, take breaks.  I’ve got news for you coming home at 6 O’clock and then working none stop is not the most efficient way to work, you should stop and check facebook, or watch some T.V. who knows maybe it’s Monday and Gossip Girl’s on, or perhaps it’s Tuesday and 90210/Ringer is on, or maybe Wednesday and survivor is on, or perhaps Thursday, and the secret circle is on.  (That’s my exact T.V. schedule, I don’t ever miss any of those shows, ya feel me?)

Also, this one’s kind of vague, but realize your strength’s and weaknesses when working, for instance, some people work really well in the morning, if you’re one of those people do your homework in the attic, some people work really well last minute, if you’re one of those people do your homework last minute, and some people (like me) work best while not completely focused on work.  If you’re one of those people work while watching a television show that you don’t particularly like such as magic school bus, willa’s wild world, the big bang theory, etc.  I myself just wrote a five page paper as I watched the first 4 episode’s of magic school bus.  (That’s five pages in an hour and a half because the episodes are only 22 minutes because I have it on DVD.)  All of these methods seem a bit unorthodox, but you’d be surprised at what works for you, give it a try and see which one works best for you, ya feel me?

Asking for the homework: Capital Sin, or washing the dishes?

Here’s the situation.  You’re sitting at home and just about to start your homework.  You have Facebook open in the background to make sure you don’t work to efficiently; however, this time you really want to get this work done, so you decide to minimize Facebook, BY PRESSING THE LINE NEXT TO THE TWO BOWES NEXT TO THE X IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER!  The problem is, you forget to turn sound off and just as you are having the most incredible epiphany about the history paper you’ve been working on ever since you were a fetus, you hear Facebook telling you that some idiot didn’t write down the math homework.  You open the chat from that stupid friend and it says,

“hey!

do u kno wat the math hw is?”

 It sounds like a reasonable thing to ask right? But it’s not, I’ve got news for my stupid friend who asked me this question.  “You are worse than the frills on the end of paper when you rip it out of a notebook!  Don’t you think it would have been better for you to have written down the homework in class thereby avoiding this problem?” I know I’m not alone on this.  People, don’t be that person, just write down the homework in class and spare us common folk the trouble.

Imma let you finish that thought but first I gotta say something: fuck that shit.  If I’m in class about to walk out and the teacher tells me the homework after I’ve already packed my bags and made a mad dash for the lunch line, I aint gon’ take my bags back out and write down the homework.  Uh uh, no, nOo, nOo, I aint never been bout that shit, never never been about that shit.  I aint gon’ write that down and that’s final.

I walk out of class and get stuff done like a boss, then after about a day and a half, it’s time to get started on my homework.  I’m sitting down at my computer and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.  I know I have history first, and like 90% of classes the teacher doesn’t post the homework online.  I’m on Facebook, I don’t want to try to think about what the homework is so I search through my friends for someone who might be able to help with my situation.  I see my friend Tod, Tod is on facebook because he’s struggling to find a way to make it in this world and he hopes facebook will give him the answers to his problems, but in actuality it won’t, Tod will give me an answer to my problem over facebook.  I know Tod isn’t doing anything important (except maybe the homework) so I ask him “What’s the homework?”  To Tod this is very simple, Tod knows that the history assignment is to write a 20 page paper with at least 200 footnotes, about how unreasonable it would be for Tod to complain about having to type 50 words to tell me the homework.  I’m gunna continue to ask people for what the homework is and I am proud.
