If you are running behind someone it's easy to pace yourself with them. Finally you find your stride, and it's perfect. Both of you moving at the same pace toward the end of the race. Then right before the finish line they either completely slow down, or stop all together right in front of you. It breaks your stride and concentration which ruins the end of your race.
As the school year is coming to a close, I find myself more irritated with people than before. It's like we have all been running this race and slowly, one by one, people are stopping in front of me. Not doing homework, having a negative attitude, ticking off teachers. It's stupid. Those things may not appear to effect others but they do.
If my friends don't do their homework they automatically think they can copy off of me. So what do I do, turn them down and be a bad friend, or suck it up and let them copy. I took the time to do the work, not them.
Then there are the people who are continuously wasting time, because they think they are now "above" all of it. Everything in their eyes is either stupid or pointless. It's so hard to stay focused when that is everywhere.
And finally the smartasses. They believe when the teacher is talking it's their turn to open up their mouth. It's not. It's time for you to shut up and listen. Because believe it or not, some people care. Some people want a good grade and are working hard.
There is less than a month of school left. The least we can do is stick through to the end. Now isn't the time to slack off just yet. Some people still have their stride and are finishing the race. Hop back on the train. It's not too late.

Everyone has different priorities, and you just touched on just about every spectrum. I know how you feel, even though at times I would fit into every category you listed. Depends on my mood, the class, the teacher, etc.
HAHA I agree with you but I tend to run over those that stop or slow down. I wouldn't let them copy if they were just too lazy to do the work themselves. You are actually be a bad friend if you let them. They learn nothing from doing the assignment and they also don't learn that their actions have consequences - if they choose to not do the work they shouldn't benifit from your hard work. they are being bad friends by even asking you to do that.
i pretty much agree with what ur saying i don't slow my pace i'm just pretty much dead during my 4th and pretty much bomb most my homework but when it gets to the test's i usally ace them witch seem's really odd to me sence i can barely remember the last time i've stayed awake during history
