I'm doomed.
Like, SERIOUS doomed.
We have a project that counts as a ridiculous amount of my Sophomore English grade. It's a research paper.
I HAVE BARELY TOUCHED IT.
I can't find the heart to do my work anymore. I'd rather die than fail English (which is what is going to happen if I don't do this), but I'd rather die than start on that god damn paper! Plus, I don't know what's going on. Not because I don't understand, but because I missed a day of school.
A day.
A single 7 hours and 15 minutes of education and I might very well fail a project because I don't understand.
I hate the new system our school has incorporated. Essentially, we go from 7:30 to 1:45 every Monday through Friday and we do four over-an-hour classes all the time. Not only that, but at the semester end we all switch classes. So I have about half a year to finish my year's worth of Latin, Journalism, and English work, switch to Science, History, Math, and Art/Gym for the other half, then successfully pass the MCAS in English.
In spring.
And if I don't pass the MCAS, my entire life is on hold until I do.
Believe it or not but I once had an assignment that was pretty much the exact same thing in the past(not sayng when for known reasons)and I bullsh**ted my way through the entire thing! We needed index cards with quotes on them. Never did em. My paper had to be 5 pages not double spaced at the minimum. Mine was 2 1/2 double spaced. It had to have all of it's specific required info. I got about 75% of that. On top of all of this I had Science which I was 2 months behind in, Social Studies which I was barely passing, math which I was fine in, tv production where I was also good, 2 plays I was in, community service and numerous other things in the way. I had a 63 and this counted as 60% of our grade and it would've held me back. I ended that quarter with a 78 in my english class.
How could such an unconcievable thing happen? I had a good status with the schools authority. I may have seemed like a somewhat teacher's pet and people didn't like that part of me. What no one knew is I purposely used that(and still do)strategy to my advantage in a way no one could see. You don't even need great status with them, just a good story(a specialty of mine is storytelling). It also helps when the story is believable and something I've practiced is you tell the truth but not entirely, tell what you feel like and then technically it isn't lying. You give out what they want and don't give out what they don't need to know, and give them a half assed job of a paper. As long as you aren't the student who is always getting in trouble and is untrustworthy, it works.
I told them that a ton of my papers blew away in the wind that morning and that I didn't know all the given information I needed to know to do the assignment. All of that was true but what I left out is that I didn't do some of it on purpose, I was outside because I was trying to skip out of it but had to sneak back in(METAL GEAR STYLE)because school security thought they saw me and I couldn't take any chances, and I missed the given information for the assignment because i asked to go to the bathroom but was taking care of... other business(no, not M4$t3RB8ion lolz zomg such a big deal to use that word zomgz).
I'd first suggest to attempt the paper with all your might, let nothing stand in your way.
If that fails, attempt to skip however you might do it.
And if you can't do that, then hand in what you've got(use the bathroom though a LOT before your english class)and hopefully you can do a good job with your story.
And if all else fails you are left with 2 options...
A.) Tell the truth and hope for the best.
B.) Pull a freaking GTA right there and hope for the best. Oh yeah, and run and never stop.
I'd suggest A though...
