Homework- Because Seven Hours Of School Wasn't Enough

Fact of life: Even if I have nothing to do and bored out of my mind, I still won't do my homework

Most people are lucky they can't hear what I'm thinking.

This was my list of homework to do before
I left for a cruise over February Break.

But today...

*Drumroll* 

You get an exclusive look inside the crazy brain of Morgan.

Don't be too excited, it's not that much of a reward.

Mostly you can see my thoughts while I'm being tortured.

Also known as doing my homework.

Basically homework is destroying my life. My "social" life. My sleeping life. My watching TV life. My life that exists inside my head. (SHOOT! I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THAT...) And my life in general.

And we all can relate, pure happiness is when you forget to do your homework and the teacher is absent!

So here's a glimpse inside my messed up head...




When life gives you homework...

... Go to bed

... Laugh

... Leave the country

... Burn that piece of paper and scream until someone calls the police

... Watch TV & browse the internet


When ever I begin to complain about homework my eleven year-old brother automatically says:

Half
Of
My
Energy
Wasted
On
Random
Knowledge

I know I'm not the only one that misses the days when homework was just coloring. RAINBOW (I JUST REALIZED RAINBOW IS EXACTLY AS MANY LETTERS AS THERE ARE COLORS!!!! *MIND BLOWN!!!*)


So these next two thoughts aren't my own original thoughts but I 100% agree.


Study (noun)
The act of texting, eating and watching TV with a open textbook near by


Why we don't have the time to study: During the year we have 365 days to study. Out of them 52 are Sundays so that leaves us with 313 days. During spring due to the good weather it's hard to concentrate on homework. Minus 50 days. Now 263 days left. Usually a person sleeps 8 hours which is 122 days in total. Now only 141 days to study. All of us spend at least 1 hour doing something we like (hobbies), that's minus another 15 days. 126 days left. Every day we spend at least 2 hours eating, minus 30 days, 96 days left to study. During the year, 90 days out of it we spend outside. That leaves us with 6 days. Every person is sick at least 3 times a year, minus another 3 days. Everyone who has a pet at home spends 20 minutes feeding or walking the animal. Which is 2 days. That leaves us with 1 day to and that's our birthday!

Now do you understand why we don't have time to study???

(Aren't those like pure genius?!?!)  And I do realize I should have spelt out all those number but it just looks cooler with numbers rather than letters and coolness means everything!

Here are my own thoughts while I'm being tortured with this stuff called homework:

It sure does look like a nice day to go outside and pick up the PILES AND PILES AND PILES of dog poop...

The newspaper just couldn't resist my beautiful face. I know
you can't recognize me with my sexy wig on but I'm the
one in the middle. 

Screw this assignment I'm watching Pretty Little Liars.

Dang, I really am tired.

I'll just do this in the morning.

What's for dinner? 

My laptops downstairs... Maybe if I scream really loud someone will hear me then I can tell them to bring it up to me.

The bed is just calling my name. And that pillow is just so tempting.

I'm gonna wait to do my homework because later in time, I'll be older, therefore wiser.

I was absent last class and she didn't officially tell me about the assignment.

I'll just wing it.

I bet Luna would really love to eat this homework, that textbook and my laptop. Maybe if I cover it in Nutella and bacon she'll actually eat it!

Domain? Range? What does that have to do with y=-5x+7?

We breathe air. Tress make air. Homework is made of trees. Therefore homework is killing us.

Wow. My room is a mess... Let the cleaning begin.

And then after that ^ Let's reorganizing and redecorate everything!

I bet if I moved to a new country some family would accept me, and I wouldn't go to school which means no homework.

This was on the bus ride to
LeTetons when I should have been
doing homework but I wasn't...

I'm hungryyyyyy

I signed up for Math! Not a foreign language!!!

It wasn't listed as homework on canvas so I don't have to do it.

My. Eyelids. Can't. Stay. Open. Any. Longer. 

So you didn't want to torture me for seven hours but another six while I'm in the comfort of my own home? How kind of you.

I'm just planning on BSing my way through that assignment... and test

I can do that during lunch.

Those dishes are just calling my name.

You only need to like ten people to make your own religion and then we could make homework against our religion and then those teachers can't make me do it, because it's against my religion.

Can we just embrace how cute my snuggle buddy is!?!

I'm not doing this I refuse!!

Response to ^ JK I have to pass

I believe in saving trees, therefore writing on this piece of paper is against what I believe in and they can't make me do something that I believe is wrong.

If I don't do this assignment, it really can't hurt my grade. At least not that much...


Dear homework,
You're not attractive and I'm not doing you! (It's funny because it's dirty... hehehehe)



What's today's date? Wait. When was I supposed to start the assignment? Oh yeah lets put that date!

Just finish it and then you can do whatever you please... JK LOLZIES That's not happening!

Maybe I should go run, it's better than this.


THAT'S DUE TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT!?!?! I guess I can't finish that in five minutes, I'll just say my internet wasn't working. <- But sometimes that actually happens and it's like the God's above are trying to teach you a lesson about procrastination and you just think hahaha you're funny.

My final thought:

Dear homework,

CAN YOU LIKE GO DIE

or something...

I Don't Do Science

This past week I got to miss school to go to another school. I know, awesome!

But this school was wayyyyyy cooler!!!

It's in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and it's a school that's all about science, (called the Teton Science School.)

Instead of sitting in a class room all day just waiting for the weekend to come, I was outside learning science hands on.

Before I went on this trip, science was definitely my least favorite subject but after learning outside in the actual world rather than a classroom, it caused me to enjoy science so much more!

I heard from past students told this trip was fun.

But that my friend, was an understatement.

This trip was the most amusing, entertaining, exciting and all around awesome school trip ever.

Each day we were on the tips of our toes just dyeing to know what adventure we would encounter next. Wether it was snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, doing the dishes, singing every where ever we went or building snow sculptures. I definitely made many memories and funny stories I'll tell over and over again. (Most that include Ally & Caroline.)

Here are the highlights of my trip:

• Marty the Moose sculpture along with our flash mob at dinner.
• Watching Ally ride the struggle bus while trying to climb up the hill on cross-country skies
• Cutting down willow trees as a stewardship project
• MAFIA!!!

  

  We took selfies during the night hike even though we
  may have sacrificed our vision for the next few hours

• Caroline's animal call video
• Building the snowman that was as tall as me
• Our water baby experiment 
• Seeing Le Tetons (Muy bonita) 
• Going down steep hills that were hardly even a hill and epically falling
• The night hike and everything that happened along the way
• Cleaning Hoo-Rahs while singing and dancing
• The cursed YOLO
• Lane's story about chasing a coyote

And along the way we actually learned tons of stuff. (I know shocking, it's not like we're on a school trip while at a science school or anything like that...)


So I was told I had to make sure to use science words in this post so here's my list of science words:

• Adaptation

  

  Our bus rides were better than yours

• Snow Layers
• Scat & Tracks
• Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
• Facets & Rounds

Okay just kidding. I can actually put those vocabulary woods into context.

WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH UNLESS YOU ARE MENTALLY PREPARED TO SEE THE NERDY SIDE OF ME, AKA THE SCIENCE SIDE.

The first night here we learned about the GYE (Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem) and all the species that live inside it using the acronym ASCAR. (A for alpine S for sagebrush C for conifer A for aspen R for Riparian.) Later on we had learned about behavioral and physical adaptations species have to help themselves survive the winter. FUN FACT: Did you know aspens have a layer of sunscreen on them to protect their photosynthetic bark underneath. We also dug three snow pits six feet deep and learned about the snow layers along with the difference between facets & rounds. Sara also learned that she likes to dig holes along with her hibernation cave. It was really cool trying to identify tracks out in the wilderness and kinda strange observing animals poop inside a container. The final thing I learned was the French fur trappers must have not seen some ladies in a very very VERY long time. (Hence the name Le Tetons.)

This trip was so much fun and if anyone who reads this has the opportunity to go, I 100% hands down, recommend it.

P.S. If you want to check out the blog for this trip, you can find other students who went and their fun experiences here.
