Confessions of a very bad student

charlz_lynnI'm plodding through calculus homework right now. We have an exam tomorrow, on all sorts of integration techniques, applying Simpson's rule, and trig substitutions (that all means nothing to most sane people). So, I'm trying to get ready for it, because I don't want to fail it.
Which is a possibility.
I've been so bad this term. And now it's crunch time. I've put off a ton of chemistry homework because that class is SO easy and he's SO lax, and that must all be made up in the next week. I haven't done a lick of calculus the entire term (until 2 weeks ago, after I failed an exam!! And if you know me and math, you understand how fucked up that is...). Even writing has fallen by the wayside. I have been pretty secretive about this, because I'm completely ashamed of myself.
But shame, as my mother pointed out, is just another excuse to forgo catching up.
Basically, what it comes down to is that I can't focus on schoolwork. When I can, I'm applying all that to Biology which has been really difficult and exciting. But just because I love one class and not all the others is no excuse to just flip myself over and do myself dry, so to speak.
This is make or break week, people. Wish me luck.
