just between two classes i have so much homework. i just can't take it anymore. im in 3 honors classes, english, history and science. english & history are the worst. this is what i have to do.
english- vocab quizzes every friday, we're reading romeo and juliet, tuesday is a quiz on act 2 and 3. we have to do homework tasks either worth 60 or 30 points and have to get 180 points. he doesn't have due dates for them but we can only hand in 60 points a week. those projects consist of making soundtracks, comic strips & other stuff.
history- question sheets, like tonight they are 8 questions, we don't have textbooks because we don't have enough, so we have this documents book that it all words and makes me want to tear it to shreds, so we have to look it all up online, and even though the internet has a lot, it usually doesn't have the questions we're looking for or it just takes me an hour to do it.
and together, we have to do a research paper. that's due december 19 and i hardly have anything done yet. and i hardly understand it. i'm seriously like so stressed, last night i was crying and tonight too, all i do is come home and do homework. so right now i'm attempting to do my question sheet, i can't find anything, i have a headache. i still have to study for english vocab and a science quiz tomorrow, and i have a math test. i seriously cant take this anymore. i told my mom i wanted a textbook for christmas lol for history. but still. i wanna transfer but i dont, and idk if can NOW. i hate thisssss :( do you think that's a little overboard? plus that i always have math homework, spanish sometimes, science project due thursday. what do these teachers expect? my life is so boring right noww. im miserable :(
At my school, we also have vocab quizes every Friday. So what I do is study 2 or 3 vocab words a day so that I don't have to cram in 20 words the night before the quiz. As for tonight, I would make flashcards and know the general definition of the word. For example, if you need to know that amicable means friendly, agreeable, and peaceful, just try to know that it means friendly and you should be fine. =)
The history homework that you have needs to be done after you study. Study math first, then vocab, and then science. You can always ask your friends tomorrow morning for help with your history homework, or even ask a complete stranger who is in your class to borrow their homework to compare answers [even though you're really going to copy them]. I know it isn't right, but you can only do so much in one night.
Don't worry about all of your history assignments, research paper, and science project tonight. Work on all of that this weekend. Research papers aren't as hard as they seem. They just take a lot of, well, research.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you more than I did. But please, take a 10 minute break. I know exactly how you feel, and believe it or not, all of this stress will eventually go away. I wouldn't suggest changing schools. I would, however, advise you to reconsider taking so many honors classes.
It sounds like you have procrastinated, which is understandable, considering all the homework you have and extracurricular activities. But try to remember later on how much it actually hurts you in the long run. [ pootietang's advice column | Ask pootietang A Question ]
