You know, those folios, presentations, and assignments teachers tell you to do.
I always do it in the last minute, because i forget them. I always remember them, mostly at night, when the brain is ready to rest after a day of being air traffic controller for your body. The bad side, your brain is overtaxed and you have those panda eyes and "use shampoo as facial cleanser" mishaps in the morning. Good side? The sudden remembrance of forgotten homework jerks your brain into turbo, and you'll be very active and refreshed for a limited period of time, its effective, free and works faster than coffee.
Though, the worry, stress and the feeling that it's already 12am totally cancels out the benefits of forgetting things.
Worse things(to me anyway) are the folios, especially those that need ALOT of materials : colour paper, glue, text from books, binding service, plastic sheets, dog food and the like. The shops are never open after like 10pm. So you have to minus the colour paper, glue, binding service, plastic sheets and dog food. You are left with text from books but then it gets worse if you dont have the text to actually copy from. So you have two choices :
1: Do it tomorrow and get scolding from teacher because it's already a month and it's still not done.
2: Go to parliament and hold a meeting then declare that tomorrow shall be a holiday celebrating the birthday of some royal person.
Then you get desperate, and you call your friends, but suddenly realize they're asleep, and the only one awake now didnt even do the folio, doesnt care and is gonna game till 4am.
So now you have no choice but to go to bed with a very worried face and sleep. You wake up more tense than usual, and you hurriedly go to school.
In school, there will be a problem, if you go too early, no one will be there, too late, no time. In class, you try to ask everyone and see who's with you in death row, and you feel relieved theres one guy in it with you.
Then you suddenly realize he's only joking to make you feel bad.
I always hate that joke.
So when the teacher arrives....
Teacher : Good morning, class.
Students : Good morning teacher....
Teacher : So, you guys finished my folio?
Students : Yeeeeess...Nooo....
Teacher : Hmph, didnt i tell you guys to do the folio? It's been already a month! A month! thats a lot of time i gave you! when will you guys finish it? a year?
Students : ......
Teacher : Ok, i'll give you guys a chance, you will pass up tomorrow.
Thats what teachers always say. and i thank them for that. They always give you a chance. Maybe they also forgot the same things when they were kids.
But some teachers...
Teacher : Ok class, (smiles) everyone did my folio?
Students : Yeeess, Noo....
Teacher : (smile gone) I thought i told you do finish it by today?
Student : yea....
Teacher : Those who didnt do it will be sent for caning. Monitor, record their names!!
But dont worry, the things above wont happen if you are organized and jotted it down. Sometimes, if you are in a team effort, you can be the team's sitting duck, but everyone will hate you, which you dont want. Worst case scenario, everyone thinks that everyone else will do the job and become sitting ducks.
But dont worry, even if you didnt do your folio, and you have to do it by tomorrow along with lots of homework the teachers gave, AFTER important stayback activities that always end at 5pm. At least you get a second chance, so be thankful.
And even if you get caned by the disclipinary teacher, theres always that birthday party you can attend, that royal person couldnt be happier.
