The Demon Data Sheet
Normally I would not have any problem with or even complain about a data sheet. I am not one of those complainers, "Oh my God, I was up all night working no my data sheet." Nor am I Jillian or Thomas whose data sheets are usually somewhere around thirty pages. Mine have never hit the twenties, but somehow I manage. Yeah, usually I just do my data sheet, turn it in, and get it back. As opposed to deliberate over it, complain about it, do some of it, complain about it to some more people, do some more, turn it in, complain, get it back, and then complain. I mean, yeah I guess there might be a gripe or two, but nothing serious. However, this time things have changed, things are different with this one. A data sheet over winter break? You have got to be kidding me. I will admit, I was pissed, still am. I will do it though. I will have to. However, it is the biggest nuisance I have in my life right now, which I suppose is actually a good thing. This data sheet will drastically reduce my time that I would much rather put into other things, like: sleeping, eating, gaming, going to Lifetime, loafing around, enjoying the holiday festivities, spending time with my girlfriend who is home from college that I do not get to see a lot, hanging out with my friends, peace of mind, and just everyday activities that will have to be cut down. I could choose to not do it I suppose and wait until the week break is over. But that will not happen of course, that would serve as an even worse situation than the one I am in now. Someway or another, I am sure that I will survive this cruel and unusual punishment.

I could not agree with you more Mr. Gilbert. Actually, until reading this post I was completely unaware of the fact that the Data Sheet necessitates work over the break, however; I now must endure, like yourself, a constant weight hanging from my back, and weighing all my other pursuits (i.e. Lifetime, gaming, sleeping) down. Although I would like to procrastinate until the final night, I must ask myself the same question you asked: is that situation worth it?
ReplyDeleteHenry, I can not argue with this one. Like you I generally do not complain that much about Data Sheets, and I will admit I have been putting it off until this last week, but at least realize I need to begin it now. Though honestly as much as I hate having a data sheet over break, I suppose it is better than trying to do it with the school day thrown in as well. I am just struggling to come to terms with working on it.
ReplyDeleteHi Henry! I admit to being one of the complainers you brought up- I get caught up everyone comparing how late they stay up, how many pages they have typed, and how stressed they are about completing it in a short period of time. However, working on it while not surrounded by the negative atmosphere has helped me remain more focused. A large portion of this is that I’m out of town, so I’m not missing as much by spending so much time working on it. I guess there is a negative and positive to having it during school or break- although it doesn’t seem as stressful as data sheets usually do, I can totally empathize with you for having to miss out on a big part of your break for it.
