procratination

I'm in year 11, it's summer and I have well had, to take 16 exams. I'm talking about GCSE exams, the most important exams I will have had to do so far. And as far as I'm concerned, what dictates my future - good GCSE's will get me into a good sixth form which will get me into a good university. Therefore, this is probably a good topic to write about.

I think since year 7 I have always left my homework to the last minute and also since year 7 I have always promised myself that I will do my homework on the night it was set and I have never been able to follow through on it. I don't know, I think it's the pressure thing I talked about - I need something, like say, only one night to do 3 pieces of homework - I need to be pushed to do work. This meant that I managed to fall behind on all of my coursework these last couple of years. I managed this because I am just so great at procrastination. At this point, I have it down to an art - there are just so many distractions and my mum never comes to check on me or if she does she doesn't really dig deep and make sure I'm not saying yes just so she'll leave.

Whenever I looked forward and thought of my GCSEs I just thought that I'd be able to buckle down and study. It's like now that I'm sitting my GCSEs and think of A levels I am very convinced I will have changed miraculously over the summer and be really hard working for the next 2 years and get the best grades I can. But it turns out being at home all day with no one to tell me what to do makes it really hard to resist lazing about and not working, especially because I thought that accepting a 1 month free trial on Netflix was a good idea during this time.

Even now, writing on my blog is another way to procrastinate and not do work.
