:cheesy: I don't like to gloat....But I think i shall be allowed to wiggle my inky dinky butt on this one. In my English class I have a problem with procrastinating (who doesn't it?). I get realitively high test scores so my grade isn't out of reach from salvaging. I tend to do all my work, I just never turn it. Which turns out to be a BIG problem when it comes to book reports. We have one every month and there worth a while letter grade. So when grades came around I wasn't surprised to see the F (I have never turned in a book report). My teacher said that we had a chance to turn in late work, but we would get less the 50% on anything we turned it. So I pulled out all the stops. Turned in most of my work (dropped like ten pounds out of my backpack). Grade went up to a
D-. I was pleased with it :D. But then we took a Benchmark (state test to see how much you learn every few months) and did well on that. Grade went up to a C (cause I'm that awesome). We did an extra credit thingy on Sense and Sensibilty (hate that book). Got more points. Took the final. My final grade was a hair away from an A-. In 2hrs my grade went from 45% to 89.79%. The moral of the story? Don't do your work...just kick every test in the arse.:p My amigos aren't speaking to me cause they barely got a D, and I was still missing a big project.
