it is currently 3:43 am and i am in the middle of pulling an all-nighter for my exams this week but its really hard to concentrate on my homework when my mind keeps wandering and all the sudden i find my self on wakeworld and not doing any of my work.. thursday cant come fast enough!! <BR> <BR>and to make things even worse it is 8 degrees and the wind is blowing 25 mph... man do i need to move to a warmer climate, Wisconsin is just too depressing 7 months out of the year for a wakeboarder...

Welcome to the club man, I have 5 accumulative finals this week and I seem to always end up on WW or youtube watching old wakeboard videos

Don't feel bad, guys; you can always become boilermakers or ironworkers, although the work is a bit slow right now.

Yeah... Um, that's what happened to me all yesterday... And what will probably happen all today. At least my finals are easy...

Christ, seven years of college, down the drain.

You're not the only one...but I'm on the other side of the fence. I'm sitting here in a final as the professor, browsing Wakeworld when I should be grading the 775 pages of tests that I have stacked in front of me. Ahhh, procrastination is a wonderful thing no matter where you are in life. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Nice Loren. Dude, all that I've been doing is either facebook or wakeboarding related things. As a matter of fact, I'm using transgression right now as a background for studying. <BR> <BR>Occassionally I'm called to duty. har har har. Get it? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0>

I found this great way of studying... i put an open notebook on my lap... and then play video games, WW or Facebook. I've got one smart lap by this time.

haha i get "if you speant half the time you do on wakeworl on your homework you would pull straight a's" from my dad alllll the time

wakeboardern1 12-15-2008 8:16 AM

Wow Ben, that's my exact same strategy!

sidekicknicholas 12-15-2008 8:27 AM

just got my grades in Statics and in Dynamics <BR>B and B+ !!!! I totally thought I was failing one, if not both. time to get drunk

helix_rider 12-15-2008 8:44 AM

What!?...your prof keeps you in the dark about your grades? I post my scores weekly...you need to demand more from your profs.

my last final before graduation is in a couple hours and yet im on wakeworld!!!

zachcopp 12-15-2008 9:29 AM

Luckily I finished my finals beginning of last week. You've got to love Texas A&amp;M! We have a 41 day break for the holidays! But WW certainly has a negative effect on studying..

School should come first, and this site will definitely not improve your grammar.

This I know schooledrider. However, studying is not fun, which results in boredom, which results in hopping onto wakeworld.

kickflip_mj 12-15-2008 6:13 PM

you know what i do is go to the library so i dont get any distractions... like right now im about to head out to study some law.

wakeboardern1 12-15-2008 6:21 PM

You know, if I didn't have to use my computer to study math (they don't pay teachers to teach math here at VT, they just send everyone to a big room full of computers to learn the stuff online, which means access from your home computer), I could use the library. go figure.

shaggystud06 12-16-2008 8:09 AM

Damn Aggies... No wonder everyone hates yall <BR> <BR>So get this the final I had that I spent the entire time studying for on WW I got an A in that class. The one I actually studied for, B in the class. Both of which I had a low A going into. WakeWorld actually helped my grades, proven fact.
