To borrow my title from a Facebook group...haha, that seems to be my answer to everything. Right now my statistics textbook is sitting in front of me, closed. My word processor is not open on my desktop, and the instructions for the French essay I have due Friday are on my desk. I am doing nothing about all of that.
Mandatory school classes never really interested me much. Once we were able to pick electives, I got interested, I got involved...I actually enjoyed them. This year, when I had the opportunity to have a whole schedule full of elective-type classes as a senior, I didn't take it. Instead of easy classes like Ceramics and Cooking I picked AP French and Anatomy & Physiology, etc. etc.
Last year when I picked out my senior year schedule, I walked out of guidance feeling like I made SUCH great choices, and was definitely going to impress all of the college admissions people because of my GREAT rigorous academic schedule senior year. That was pretty nice to think about when I was applying and interviewing and getting acceptance letters. But now I got into my first choice, told them I'm all in, and I have three months of these classes left. Classes that I do NOT need in order to get my diploma.
Can we say senioritis? I know I can. I am so envious right now of all the people I know that can relax for the last couple of months, sit back, and know they will get great grades in their easy classes while I work my butt off until graduation day because I thought it was a great idea to study a language I don't speak and learn more about math.
I wish I knew how to cure senioritis...I really do. But I'd be lying to you if I said sitting in my room while chatting on AIM, blogging here, and thinking about the TV show I'm going to watch in an hour doesn't feel kinda good.

Welcome to the club! XD
I've got half a unit in AP Calc to get caught up on before the test...tomorrow.
I have two essays for AP English due.
I haven't done half the work for Contemporary World Studies, and honestly...
I've given up on trying to get anything done at home.
I'd much rather be here on ProgressiveU, on facebook talking with an old friend and next year's classmates, or...sleeping. Yeh, sleep sounds nice ansd good about now. XD
But you know what's really sad in my case? I've been like this for the entirety of my high school career. Of course...I never really had homework before senior year...oh, I miss those days...
And that's comin' at ya' from yer local redneck hippie.
I too suffered from this when I was in high school, and I regret. I often think about how much more successful my first year of college would have been if I had been successful in my classes at the end of my senior year. My only piece of advice to you is not to back down now because you will be a stronger more well-rounded person you will become after thi experience.
Haha Senioritis? Every day of my Senior year. I'm glad it's not just me. And as AP Tests draw nearer and nearer I feel myself caring less and less. But I guess that's the point of Senioritis in the first place. Maybe I'll care next year.
I should be finding ways to study for the AP Spanish test - because my school doesn't offer an AP Spanish CLASS - but I'm not. I should be brushing up on my grammar for the AP Eng. Grammar test - which is, yet again, another class my school doesn't offer... - but I'm not. Yay Senioritis.
Doesn't help that the new principal decided that we're getting out two weeks later than any other senior class (even my grandfather's, and that was 50 years ago), and graduating past the normal time... Why, might you ask? We started after Labor day for the first time ever. Okay, we started a week late. We also haven't had the same length of breaks, same number of half days... All so we could "get out" early like normal. And what?
