DAY 1- i did my calc and my history, didn't have any french, should have practiced my piano... didn't, but it wasn't required, and should have studied physics, didn't, but i may stay after school tomorrow with my teacher, even if not, the test is weds, so i still have another night to study. well i guess so far so good? i should have studied my physics... but too late now.
Here are some things to think about:
Playing piano is fun, isn't it? Maybe you weren't in the mood to actually practice the things you're supposed to practice, but playing fun stuff is still a form of practice, right?
Essaye-tu écrire ceci en Français? C'est bonne pratique.
On your way to school today, did you see if you could recite (in your head) that lesson in physics you were having trouble with?
It's often a great help to try and study in unusual ways, or to apply the knowledge in unusual situations. Obviously this should not be a substitute for the ordinary thing, but it's definitely helpful, and I would posit that doing this is certainly better than pure studying in the ordinary way.
I know Ambitwistor said something similar, but I think it needed emphasized some more.
Of course, this doesn't help with turning in homework. Is your problem just the homework, or are you failing lots of tests too?
