Countdown continues...who's the geek?

With 3 days remaining for the due date of the first draft of the Extended Essay, I have 4 subtopics i can start typing about tomorrow (hopefully). Now i know some of you nerds and geeks might think "man he's soooo behind," but I'd like to tell you that some people have hardly even thought about starting on their Essay and others just don't give a damn about it. One says "I'll start it on Sunday and finish it by Monday" (good luck with that) and another person is doing everything possible to get out of IB, even get out of high school if possible, so that so much work wouldn't have to be done.

As for today something that should have taken about 20 min maximum to do, took me hours to come up with, my outline. I talked to a few "good students" who actually have been working on their essay and one of the "concerned student" asked me a question about citations, giving me an idea that she might have been done with her essay, or almost done at least.

After that instead of working, I kept admiring the digital note pad i am planning to buy. C'mon we've all done that, right? Then i critiqued some actors and movies with a friend of mine who, I think, loves to do that. The same person, right now, reminded me to to tell everyone about the "Spanish bullshit." Can't blame him now, can I? Being an IB student, I must complain about how much H.W. we get. All this reminds me that I have English H.W. left to finish up as well.

Oh well, as for now mine and all of our focus should be on finishing up the Extended Essay, but then again who in 902 does what they are suppose to do? if you are the ones who do whatever you are suppose to, then you have successfully made it to the geek column of this blog. Congratulations.
