Kerensky's Study Log

[Kerensky]

First off, a very grateful thank you to Vincent for letting us to this.

Second, starting Saturday March 19, 2005 I will no longer be a lazy bum. My schedule for Saturday will come shortly. Start your own logs and not in here because that gets really confusing. Here is the model I am following:

If you want to test out your own methods, that is all the better. I wish everyone luck in their academic ventures.

And in the insightful e-words of LikRetsam:

School = your life
Your life > Girls
Therefore, School > Girls

19 March 2005 - Saturday - Day 1

1. All Spanish homework for Spring Break (3 hours)
2. Physics Study Guide Review Chapters 1-9 (5 hours)
3. Physics Prep (45 min)
4. AP Compostion Prep (2 hours)
5. A.F.G.M. Worksheet (1.5 hours)
6. Haircut - Postponed
7. Calculus AP Book Stuff (1 hour)
8. U.S. History Chapter 7 review/notes (3 hours)
9. Workout & Cardio (1.5 hours)

I want to do more, but I'm going to be awake from probably 9:00 AM so working until 10:00 PM is enough including eating in between and maybe a haircut. Hopefully tomorrow...or rather, today goes well.

UPDATE @ 9:16 PM - Ok today was mediocre. It could've gone a lot smoother. I played CS for a bit and visited sosuave way too many times. I made a forbidden list as you can see in the first post of things I can't do. Sunday should be better. I also have to do all of Sunday's stuff and make up for my losses here. It's shameful to have reds on my list. I'm still kinda numb from the whole losing the girl thing. I'm going to workout now and after a hard workout/good night's rest I can forget about it. This will be the only semi-personal entry. The rest of my entries will follow the guidelines posted and stay strictly within the limits of academia.

Good luck. It is tough at first. But once it becomes a habit, it will be a simple task.

Time to get started with my Homework!

 

[Kerensky]

Well, today is a sad day for me. I've lost the girl I was going after probably because another guy was better suited for her. I guess I can all I can do now is put all this behind me now and just go on with my plans for improving myself.

I'll stick with greening everything I finish.

7. AP Physics Prep 1&2 (1.5 hours)
8. Make AP Physics Master Equation Sheet (1.5 hours)

I failed miserably today, probably because I woke up around noon and violated all of the things on my forbidden list. I feel really bad right now, but after a workout I'll be motivated. Gonna sleep early, and wake up early to start off tomorrow strong I hope

 

[eggnawgkid]

Wow you've got 31 hours of stuff to do on Sunday. You do realize that there's not enough time in the day for all that right ? Good luck dude. You must have a 4.0 with all that studying.

 

[bladeux]

I know Counter-Strike and it's a damn addicting game.

Good luck with not playing it anymore. I tried to stop COMPLETLY but I only managed to reduce my amount of time playing it, which is now only 2-3 hours/week.

I'm exhausted. Not from anything I did, but rather what I didn't do. I'm a lazy bastard. This has proven it. I don't even know what to say except I think I'm the biggest goddam failure on Earth. No need to give pity my friends...save yourselves.

Ok today went pretty well. I didn't get a lot of things done, but I made a really good effort and at least got SOME work done. I'm improving and that's good.

 

[Kerensky]

I just read the "Inner Struggle" Series of BBB. I gotta say, he never gave up and I'm not either. Tomorrow is going to rock and no one, not even myself, can stop me. LET'S DO THIS.

Ok today I got a lot done, but not nearly enough. Tomorrow...or rather, today, school starts. This is when the true test starts. Layla's post has given me inspiration. I too started with a Test of Will. Then I too said, "f that." I was taking the fun things out of my life. I was making self-improvement a chore. That is not the way. Now I am doing the nightly planning thing like I said I would in my self-improvement tips thread I linked at the top. It will go well.

 

[trippychip]

kerensky man... while i totally support what your doing and have taken it upon myself to do the same... do you realize there arent enough hours in the day to do all your ****? seriously man.... you gotta learn how to handle your time better... some of that **** should not take as long as you put it down as. but best of luck chief.

heh, thanks trippy. Spring break is over now, so it'll be better. Also, remember I multiply the times by 1.5 so I have extra time in case if I run long.
