Procrastinion is King
So, Ben, you've been home for four hours. What have you accomplished during that time?

I ate lunch. Cauliflower, with cheese.

I also sent in one of my decks to Pojo.com to be reviewed. Hopefully it's a unique enough idea that the deck reviewer's will actually take a look at it.

I also fiddled around with some Lego robotics stuff. If I can get things set up right, my obstacle course will have spinning devices of doom. I'm sure the mouse will just love that. XD

I've yet to get a mouse for this project, and I haven't got a tank for the mouse, either. Good thing the project's not due until January. :0

Ehrm. Eric had made plans for laser tag and a movie tonight, but I haven't heard from him at all today. It's very possible that the plans fell through, but it's equally possible that he just forgot to get ahold of me today. Such is Eric.

I got the title page of my English paper done, as well as the first paragraph of the Introduction. It's not much for four hours of time, but it's better than absolutely nothing, which is what I would normally have done at this point.

I think I've finally stumbled upon the answer to my difficulties in these papers. I'm getting A's and A+'s on pretty much every other writing assignment I get in any class. And yet for my English class I've consistently received C's for my past two papers. Both are acceptable, considering the consequences, but I just know I can do so much better!

So, I can write good in everything besides English. What's the difference? Where's the distinction in the assignments?

The research!

I'm too dang lazy to do comprehensive research on a subject! And even once I have the research, I don't want to compile it into something a minimum of six pages long! >_>;;

In Theology, we are given newspaper articles to write "Reaction Papers" on. As the terminology expresses, the papers reflect what we think about the topic in the article. I've gotten an A+ on every one thus far. Distinction: We're given an article to glean facts and ideas from. Mr. Leone also finds that I can express my ideas rather clearly in writing.

In history, we have Document Based Questions (DBQ's) to write. Essays questions that require several pages to answer effectively. I've gotten the highest grades on those, too. But again, I'm provided with the research. "Document Based" means that we are provided with articles and the like from which we are to draw our conclusions.

There's no research involved in either of them.

Now, I ought to find out what I can do to fix this problem.

So, in other words, you're going to do research?

>_<

I guess not.
