spurts

During the school year, I've always had lots of homework. The extreme amounts of it started last year, and as a result, my procrastination began last year too. It always seemed like there wasn't enough time to do it all, so I'd do some of it and not worry about the rest of it until the next day. That could be a reason why a lot of my grades were so bad. So, during the summer I made a promise to myself that I would never do that again, and that if I got any homework, I would do it as soon as possible- never the day of. And of course, this didn't work out either. I have kept to that promise, and still do, but it's starting to get harder and harder to follow through with it. I have to make a choice of if I want to get good grades, or sleep. I chose good grades. We got our report cards and to my displeasure, I only had one A and all the rest were B's or C's. I cannot begin to explain how angry and worthless this made me feel. So this nine weeks, I've tried to work even harder to obtain those wonderful A's. It seems as if the teachers can read my mind, and work against it. When I decided to work my absolute absolute hardest to do all my homework, of course I recieve the largest homework loads of all time. Sure this year I'll have at least 3 hours of homework everyday, but after the first month of school, that time amount keeps increasing. Increasing to 3 1/2, 4, 4 1/2.. to where it is now an average of about 4- 4 1/2 hours of homework. per night. This in my opinion, is ridiculus. There is such a thing as eating, hygiene, and sleep. If we already go to school for 7 hours, homework for 4, how do we have time for anything else? I wake up at 5 in the morning, get on the bus (sometimes i drive), school from 8.15-3.15. Ill get home at 4.20 if im riding the bus, 3.40 if im driving. 4 hours of homework, that makes it 8.20. I have to eat, use the bathroom, shower, and do chores too, so tack on another 3 hours for all that. That becomes 11.20 every single night, and the same schedule for every single day after that. Where am I supposed to get the time from? If I hang out with my boyfriend, it can't even be a long time because I have to do homework, and if I have to come home and work, it's till dark. I can't think of a reasonable reason to make all of this official. It's in my opinion, ridiculus.
