New school year resolutions?

[patm1313]

I'm going into 9th grade, and I pretty much fucked up all the way through middle school. I pissed off teachers, made bad grades, got in trouble... had no friends... etc. etc. I'm finally going to get that clean slate I've wanted for 3 years. Also, I just need a schedule. I'm looking for something to do, and to be in a place where I can actually achieve.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not an idiot. I happen to be rather intelligent. But because I was so deprived of everything I needed, and had found no real joy in life, I relied on other things to make me happy. Basically I would choose and hour of using the computer over and hour of studying because that hour of using the computer would make me somewhat happy, where homework did not. But that was when I felt that I could achieve nothing through school. But I feel different now. Through high school I'm going to try to stay out of the "screw it all" mentality and move into a mentality where I find joy out of everything. Instead of finding joy out of thing's that don't matter, I plan to focus on things that I can excel in and have something to be proud of.

I really can't wait for school to start. I feel that I don't want my sumer to be wished away, because I've still got some things I want to do. A lot of things are going on right now in my life, and almost all of them are handing me a new chance to do something different and positive. I used to say I didn't like school, and I was really insecure. Having a clean slate gives me a new sense of confidence. I used to worry about every goddamned thing. Everything.

Anyhow, I've made my resolutions. They are:
1. Be more active in school
2. Find joy in excelling in school

What about you? Do you have any resolutions for the '08/'09 school year?

I've decided to only get A's and B's. Last year I made a C or 2, and felt retarded.

What a dumbfuck. You obviously are the kind of get that gets beat up on a regular basis.

Entering 9th grade as well.

Pretty much just to be more responsible and to stop procrastinating. I can name at least 10 incidents last year where I didn't get any sleep at all from doing projects at the last minute.

1) Stay an all A student. [Except for math.]
2) Be in the top 10 for my group. [It's small, Whole school is divided by 3, which is then divided by four.]
3) Keep atleast ONE friend. [EASY.]
4) Stay a virgin. [Yeah, I'm not too caring for this, I'll do it when I get into college or something.]
5) NEVER get a girlfriend, or have any semi-emotional relationship status with a girl. [Not too hard.]
6) Stay vigilant. [lolwut?]
7) Never swear in public. [It's mainly for private, anyways.]
8) Reach 5,000+ posts. [Can I? Dare I? Shall I?]
9) Don't let anything get to me. [Especially when I'm in a bad mood.]
10) Reach number 10 in all of the lists I make. [New achievement unlocked.]

I'm going to work my ass off this year, and the coming ones. I'm going to do my homework the second I get home. Right when i'm finished, I will take a 10 minute break to rest and then exercise. Every day. I will not slack, I will not procrastinate. I will do my very best to get an Honors Diploma.

Be a nerd like me! And hang out wit your nerd pals and pimp it out on are BMX. I would pimp it out on the BMX if I knew tricks. Oh and get a pocket protector like me!

I plan to be more involved in helping out the school with presentations and videos.

After the great reception from my Remembrance Day slideshow, I decided to make more. I'm going to make power-points about things like Asperger's Syndrome to present to the students and the teachers for example.

I will also keep up my fundraising by collecting loose change off the grounds of my school and collecting cans and bottles for charity and make a documentary of my mission trip after Spring Break (my mission trip days) is over and present it to the school if my principal gives me permission.

I will also use a laptop from now on to take notes and things for increased efficiency, cleaner results and saving trees at a lower amount of work. The only thing I need to worry about is saving enough power.

And just for shits and giggles, I'm going to wear an old style tan trench coat while travelling back and forth to school, use a belt clip-on coin dispenser while collecting coins and use other retro items from time to time.

I'm finally going to be a senior this year. I'm going to try to keep my grades up and earn a diploma.

to stop insulting ppl

Dude, the only thing that's better about high school than middle school is the sex and drugs. Believe me, if you thought 6-8 was pointless busywork, just fucking WAIT until you're in 11-12 and you want to kill everyone who said that you had to be there.

I just finished high school, and no amount of money, sex or drugs could make me go back. I even LIKED the school I went to to remediate 11-12, (total stoner shack. I tripped with my teacher for fuck's sake) yet I would NEVER do it again.

Just be glad you're that little bit closer to done.

Ugh, don't mention school, ruins the fun moment of summer...
Anyways, I have no idea what I am gonna do, I have to go to an alternative school because I got pissed and threw a stapler at the principal (loong story) But my mom doesn't want me going to an alternative school because she doesn't want me getting mixed in with kids who do drugs so she is gonna home school me or some shit.
I have no clue what is gonna happen....
If I go to the alternative school: I'll try to get the fuck out as soon as possible
If I get homeschooled: well I'll try to avoid being a complete dumbass
If I go back to a regular school I am gonna try not to be tired

This thread is depressing. Am I the only one who did real bad in school this year, and is realistic enough to say that it's gonna probably stay that way next year?
