This seems like something Stuart would do ...

IRRELEVANT MATERIAL ALERT!

If you, like me, are ever browsing the blog for shits, you make happen to find yourself on the Links page where you may find some horribly irrelevant content.

Why. Do we have TOK links still up. :P

This just leads me to the illusion that I have to think.

And we all know that isn't necessary.

Thought I'd bring that to everyone's attention in the hopes that it may be fixed.

Good luck not procrastinating/eating/baking/kitteh/etc. :)

EXAMS ARE A THING.

One down, four to go - well, for me, Catherine, Holly, and Jenn.
Three to go for Bodo, Bpye, Wigg, Stu, Hannah, Laura May, and Morgan.
And two to go for Sarah! WOOOOOO!

Naturally, I'm procrastiblogging. I spent the past twenty minutes trying to find practice bio exams (either the ones Ms Wood gave me, which I've somehow misplaced, or some online) to no avail, so I finally said fuck it and here I am.

This post is pretty much pointless as I have basically nothing to say .. I want trail mix. And vitamin water. Maybe my reward for putting in a solid two hours of studying will be to go to Walmart and get myself some study snax.

I guess that means I should start studying, then.

I wish I could find those practice exams. :c

Here's some motivation to all of you who may be procrastiblogging/eating/kitteh.

Procrastakitteh?

So I took a break from studying earlier to help my brother haul a dresser he built from the basement up to his bedroom (damn thing weighed over 100lbs). But when I attempted to return to my computer and get back to work, I found that my cat Lola (henceforth to be known as procrastakitteh) had occupied my keyboard.

Procrastakitteh is not impressed

I poked and prodded at her for a few minutes but she just stared at me and refused to move. She eventually relocated to my math study guide, but came back midway through the writing of this post.

NO MORE TOK.

Guys ... TOK IS OVER!!!!!!!

Still can't believe it ... no more thinking :)

It was a bonding time for all of us, but nevertheless I am beyond thrilled that we never have to hear the words 'knowledge issue' ever again.

Ha ha first time on the blog!

I have absolutely no reason for writing on this except that I now can!
SO here are 5 facts about horses:
1) they are awesome
2) they have four feet
3) they have hair not fur
4) they eat grass/hay
5) they are AMAZING

Okay I am done now. Everyone get studying!

Bye bye. I guess I will be back later. hee hee this is so much more fun. procrastablogging!

Procrastabaking?

Similar to to Hannah's method of procrastineating, I've fallen into the trap of procrastabaking; I spent the better part of today making the cake for tomorrow.  And then trying to decorate it.

It's supposed to say "We're Done ToK!" but it didn't quite turn out as expected  :/

Anyways I should probably actually go study now, but if y'all still feel like procrastinating here's another Picnicface video

IOC Party

Hi All!

Just to clarify, the IOC Party will be happening at 1:00 pm tomorrow! I know that everyone has a bunch of stuff going on tomorrow, and based on our discussion today in English, this time works best for most people. Not sure what time we will finish up ... 5 or 6, maybe earlier depending on our productivity! See you soon my wonderfully crazy friends.

Creepy Clock

Couldn't get it any bigger, but I think this should be part of the countdown.

We Can Do It.

I have had a sudden burst of inspiration. Perhaps it was the countless TED Talks I have been watching in order to procrastinate from TOK, or perhaps every single conversation I have ever had with Mrs. Decoff has finally sunk in. It doesn't matter. The point is, I have realised that we can do it. And, most importantly, however we do will be FANTASTIC, it will be THE BEST. Because it will be the best that we can do. Sure, maybe you could have studied longer for that test. But at what cost? What would you have given up to study for that extra hour? An hour of talking with your best friend, an hour of watching cat videos, an hour of running, reading, singing, dancing, LIVING. Well, I don't think it is worth it. Because that hour meant something to you. Even if you were sad and crying, it has made you who you are right now. If you had not spent that hour doing whatever it was you did, you would not be who you are right now.

Maybe this is stupid. Maybe I am totally wrong and we should spend all of our time devoted to studying and being generally unhappy. Maybe I sound like a desperate wanna-be motivational speaker right now. But I don't care. Because I'm pretty sure that we're all closer to crazy than we've ever been right now, and what we need to realise is that it is okay to not do homework for one night, and it is okay to not finish all the questions on the math assignment, and it is okay to do what you can do, what you should do, and what you want to do, because despite the fact that we are stuck here for the next few months, pretty soon we will be gone and we will all regret not watching the Trolol video one last time before we analysed the shit out of Shakespeare.

So don't feel guilty that you are reading this post right now instead of working on your World Lit paper (and don't freak out because you just remembered that World Lit papers exist), instead do what you can when you can and be satisfied that you'll be happier because of it.

If you don't believe me, look at this: http://make-everything-ok.com/

Dear Stu,

Yours in Procrastination,

Sarah

Reasons why we should graduate now

1) Math ASSignments

2) Boring lunchtime activities that waste time we could be using to study

3) The fact that we don't have any time to study for exams

4) We could all kick ass at University anyways ... Our BS skills are already fully developed.

Also, today is boring as hell. Also, my phone autocorrrected 'boring' to 'boron' ...

Words words words!

While browsing around some favoured blogs of mine, I found this befuddling poem, by G. Nolst Trenité that I thought you all may enjoy.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear.
So shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word,
Sword and sward, retain and Britain.
(Mind the latter, how it’s written.)
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as plaque and ague.
But be careful how you speak:
Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;
Cloven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,
Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,
Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,
Exiles, similes, and reviles;
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far;
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;
Gertrude, German, wind and mind,
Scene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Viscous, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward.
And your pronunciation’s OK
When you correctly say croquet,
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
And enamour rhyme with hammer.
River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,
Doll and roll and some and home.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,
Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,
And then singer, ginger, linger,
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,
Nor does fury sound like bury.
Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.
Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.
Though the differences seem little,
We say actual but victual.
Refer does not rhyme with deafer.
Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Mint, pint, senate and sedate;
Dull, bull, and George ate late.
Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed, but vowed.
Mark the differences, moreover,
Between mover, cover, clover;
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice;
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,
Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor.
Tour, but our and succour, four.
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Sea, idea, Korea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion and battalion.
Sally with ally, yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.
Heron, granary, canary.
Crevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Large, but target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.
Ear, but earn and wear and tear
Do not rhyme with here but ere.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,
Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation (think of Psyche!)
Is a paling stout and spikey?
Won’t it make you lose your wits,
Writing groats and saying grits?
It’s a dark abyss or tunnel:
Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,
Islington and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!

trololol

First time posting on this puppy and what better way than to trololol into it. Trying to do this bio lab, but the Trololol Sing-Along is a much better use of time. Hannah may procrastineat, but I procrastising (along with the occasional indulgence in old Christmas chocolates..)! While I was trolololing in the basment, I remembered that I made my manager listen to it before Christmas hahaha. Definitely changed his outlook on life. Also made some friends who don't go to NRHS listen to it. Let's just say they wish they were Nighthawks.



Trolololingly yours,
Holly

Ps. there is no point to this post. stu suggested it as a form of procrastination. God bless him

INDIA!

Hello everyone,

Mike told me that apparently we've gotten hits on the blog from India and many other countries, so I thought I'd share another graph. To note, the previous graphs and this one are not ripping off XKCD.com, I've seriously never heard of that site until The Lone Wolfling mentioned it.




Also, please comment if you are from another country and are reading this!

More Nerdy GRAPHS!

It seems that the number of posts during the week peaks on Tuesday, following a linear decrease until Sunday, at which there begins a steady increase back to Tuesday. This trend can be explained by the average stress patterns of an IB student. Tuesday has the highest level of procrastination because the student understands the amount of homework to complete while having enough sleep to grasp the severity of their homework situation (unlike Monday). As the days go by until Saturday, stress levels decrease as homework is completed leading to the wonderfulness of the weekend. Saturday is usually a good day. However, by Sunday the IB student begins to fear the next week, beginning the cycle of procrastination again. Note how this is a cycle that will end! May 9th, May 18th and May 22nd are fast approaching! :D
