pmmsnyahooaim | | Re: Potential (6th Jan 08 at 4:28pm UTC) | | Everything I do unfortunately o,o
Everyone says I have wonderful potential, but I don't apply myself. Which I don't. It's not that I'm lazy, I'm just not motivated. Everything I do people put it down because I am young. Which the projects and ideas are great, but people just don't believe they can happen because I am young | |

pmvForum | | Re: Potential (6th Jan 08 at 7:06pm UTC) | | ha... I work at my best during the night, by which time I'm too tired to do anything, so I say: 'I'll do it later' which means never.
When I finish school, it's back with nocturnal Wrighty!  | |

pmwww | | Re: Potential (6th Jan 08 at 7:08pm UTC) | | My Science teacher likes to yell at me for being "lazy".
She always says "You're the smartest student in the class, and you have great potential. But you're lazy. You don't do the assigned work, and that makes people who actually have to try hard to succeed angry, because if you put just a little bit of effort into what you do, you would have a 96 in this class rather than a 36."
But she's wrong; I'm not lazy, I'm just not motivated to do the work. Nowhere in the job that I'll be doing when I'm older will I need to know how lightning is formed, or how an atom can become an ion. >.< | |

Wait till you hit pointless stuff such as quarks, and baryons, leptons, mesons... that stuff is a pain in the ass... and when will anyone use the photoelectric effect? O.o No I don't care what happens when you shine light at a piece of metal.. cause I wont be doing that later!
Normally about 8 pm for me... then I'm super active.. I could do anything, code a whole forum in a night I did once! Was fun! ^_^ | |

pmwww | | Re: Potential (6th Jan 08 at 7:30pm UTC) | | I usually work best from about 1am - 5am. That way, I can just sit in my room in peace, with no one bothering me, no cars on the street, no neighbour's kids running up and down the stairs non stop for an hour [>.<], just my music, some energy drinks, and 3 bags of chips.  | |

pmvForum | | Re: Potential (6th Jan 08 at 7:35pm UTC) | | Yup, it's when everyone's in bed that I work best too... you know you're not going to get disturbed too... also, the rest of the house is cold, and my room is warm, so that's another reason to stay in here!  | |
