Procrastination. Sleep deprivation. Not trying.

Its hard for me to feel good about anything I've done over the past year.
:yawn:time to get back to a long night of work.

Nothing I regret that much. I have procrastinated a lot, but I enjoy procrastination so much I never regret it.

Um... where shall I start?
I am a HORRIBLE student.
I do chemistry HL and I started to slack off really badly since the second semester for IB1 so now it's a looong way to catch up and I've been getting 6 for it in the beginning of the year now I get 3-4....
I haven't been doing any revisions for any of my subjects so my grades did go down a lot.
Even for subjects like Maths, i used to get a comfortable 7 now I'm expected to get a 4.
It probably didn't help that I missed so much classes that my teacher told me that my graduation was in danger ...

Oh, and going out and getting hammered every weekend didn't help either,
and skipping classes whenever I felt like.
and sleeping in every language classes, history classes

In Amsterdam, the drinking age is 16. I regret not being more responsible. I've been suspended twice and kicked out of a school trip, where I had to pay 140 euros to find my way home. (I'm not the only one that got kicked though) But I haven't been expelled, so I'm thankful.

I regret being here when I have an A1 IOP tomorrow. I also regret choosing the first day of a two week presentation period to do my IOP, because I thought I should 'get it over with.' I forgot I'm this bad at procrastinating. I regret not doing anything in HL Chem because my teacher is horrible, and I regret too many things to list here. I've only been in IB for a month. :S

I have mine this week, and I've yet to think up a topic.

OT: I was going to a list a couple of things but when I read it over, it all came down to one thing: procrastination. That is my only regret. =/

-Not doing my IAs before
-Having started to really study physics in IB2, and therefore having a great chance to fail my SAT Subject Test
-Having started to really study history in IB2 (but that's the teacher's fault)

I believe we can all agree that not trying our best is our greatest regret. On top of that for me, this was my rebellious year where I took a stand against my parents and fought for my freedom. Having expanded my freedom, I regrettably expanded my distance from IB and the subjects; finally getting a wake up call about a week ago. Luckily though, it was IB1 and not IB2 so I'm still in the game.

I regret never seriously studying for my tests and exams until now when the finals are happening.

I regret never being able to fully reach my potential

I regret never aiming higher for grades. I could have done so much better

I regret never taking the IB seriously and hence, resulting in stupid predicted grades and the position I'm in right now lol =/

I regret never asking for math help! And chem help.

I regret the results of my exams lol BECAUSE i know i could have done so much more better

I regret not paying enough attention to my History IA, so I ended up doing it the day before it was due. I also regret the incredibly huge amounts of time I spent on the internet doing nothing when I was supposed to be studying. However, what I regret the most is that I didn't do ANYTHING for my EE during IB1, so IB2 was hell for me.

*slacks off in math class every year up until IB*

*Joins IB SL maths*

Never in my life has reality slapped me so hard as trigonometric waves with little former knowledge of trig.
