Procrastination

This is mainly aimed at the students amoungst you guys. But is anyone else carefully practising ( or have ever ) the art of the revision procrastination. There are several ways of doing it:-
1. Pretending you know what your talking about to teachers and other pupils, leaving your brain to think you know what your doing and there is no need to revise.
2. Distractions. A bit like I am now, a forum, or game on the internet gets the better of you and you end up not working at all.
3. The "more constructive thing to do". This one is great, the best of the three. You pretend you are doing somthing far more constructive than revision with your time. For example my thought process is generally like this, "I play drums, I'm in a band, it therefore makes sense that I play drums now instead of revising, this would then increase my bands chances of playing and doing well in the future, which is more constructive than revising".

So just wondering if anyone else does or thinks the same at all??

x x x

p.s. This whole message was done while procrastinating geog revision for my exam on friday!

Procrastination is my main hobby and I've got to say, I practise all three of those methods xD

haha, good to see there are likeminded people on here. I think it is an artform that should be practised by all students. Anyway its common knowledge that if we all do badly the grade boundries are lowered, lets make the most of it!!!

Exactly!
Except it's got to the stage where I don't even know what work I'm meant to be doing ...

I know what you mean. I am at boarding school, an i have left all my work in a mates room, who has since gone home and locked it in. So thats me up shi*t creek without a paddle as to regarding my geog practise paper and theatre studies coursework for tomorrow. Saying that I cant really complain, i do no work and my predicted grades are nice and high.

ilch, just blag it. i managed to come out of my gcse's and my (whole one so far) a level mocks with b's and c's without doing any revision, or coursework for that matter.

Ahaa. Well good luck for your exam and stuff.
Most of my predicted grades are pretty high too, I'm just waiting for everyone to be disappointed when i actually get the marks back xD

Alex, dont joke your talking to the king of blagging.

This blagger your talking too managed 100% in a geog gcse sheerly through blagging, as well as ABB at AS level through blagging.

Its the way forward.

not bad.

im not so bad at blagging either, i learnt from the one of the best at blagging (my mum) oh yeah!

ilch we appear to have a fair bit in common. (what with the uncycling, the ska thing and the blagging)
its unnatural.



'ill be you hero through and through...'

Alex mate, you are a legend in your own rite, what with that and reciting JHS lyrics on the forums. You are a true man.

But we do have a great deal in common. Maybe I should start organising gigs.

Ha this is pretty much my school life story xD

well for i.t anyway

why thankyou ilch, but i cant help it with those catchy tunes, listening to this time atm.

falling should either be put back up on the myspace or sent to me (preferably both)
even though you changed it :O


tell you what ill organise the gigs you play them?

Distraction was the main when back when I was at college/school. In terms of doing other things rather than assignments. I tend to leave everything to the last minute, I work well under pressure. It's more laziness than anything though.

Maybe you were separated at birth

Blagging is amazing! I some how managed to talk my way in and out of anything during school. And with exams, if I really didn't have a clue then I'd just write a how load of crap that sounded intelligent even if it didn't have much relevance to the question. It worked enough to pass my A Levels lol.

seperated at birth haha!

im two foot taller than he is

Well havn't you see Twins Dani Devito and Arnie Swartzinigga

oh yeah now that was funny, arnie is legend

I agree, cant spell his name though and too lazy to look it up

Haha, Alex i'm liking this seporated at birth theory, not only are we different ages, and drastically different heights, but there could be some substance to it.

As for organising gigs, your on!!!

JHS had a practise on saturday at mine and we sounded the best we probly ever had so be ready for some tuneage at the gigs.

when i waas on jhs mysapce i realised that the 3 gigs you have, im organising. i should jsut start a record label/company, id have two bands already

Haha, You should feel good. I dont think any gig you have organised has been in any way a disaster for JHS, as you have probly gathered we seem to have a blast most of the time!

I think we should start getting a few more gigs in the next few months as we are really branching out and looking for more promoters, were hopeing to break out of the Ashford and Tenterden scene, jumping headfirst at London and then a few more gigs possibly in the south west and further north!

as long as you remeber all us little (well not so little in your case) guys, then go for it. and when you guys are signed i want backstage passes and all that jazz. ok?

ill send you some promoters contacts off the suas myspace

Alex how am I ever going to forget you, my brother from another mother, that booked us for so many gigs and towered over me at every single one!!! lol.

An yea the details would be sweet cheers. I'm afraid i cant get on myspace during the week though as the school internet will not allow me!

haha yeah.

to think the first time i saw you was like 2 and a half years ago??? (botb, where you were cheated and the rift won, talk about bollocks)

ill email you tomorrow
