well I just got (verbally) beaten by my parents for being two days late in handing in my "short story unit culminating activity". According to my "concerned" english teacher, I could be "failing the course". I find that hard to believe since we've only handed in TWO, count TWO other mini-assignments for grading, and hence unstable marks. That and the fact that semester two only started on the last week of february makes me irked that my parents immediately shout at me as if I'm about to fail the course at semester end. Which is a LONG way from now.
secondly, I damn my english teacher for calling it a "culminating activity". That word is like silver to a werewolf, kryptonite to superman for me. It semi-subconciously triggers a focus- and mental-block, disabling my ability to actually focus and work on the assignment cohesively and diligently. The most I can work while under this condition is an hour. It's subconcious because I'm not conciously meaning for it to happen, but only to a degree that I can't stop it with my concious mind. Please don't bring theoretical arguments about conciousness to me, since that would distract and tire me.
agh, you see all this? this is a result or CTS, or "culminating task syndrome", which I'm sure affects me and many of my peers. This is the result of my inability to focus on finishing my assignment in, and I'm powerless to stop it!
agh!
