Well, we definitely hit one one bad idea, if we didn't hit any others - not reading (all of) the assigned reading in English class. That's probably number one.
Honestly, the book is challenging for me. Whether it's merely me and being ADD, or whether it's Dickens' writing style, but I find myself reading portions, or the entirety, of several passages more than three times. My train of thought is literally gone, and I have no idea where to pick up, so I have to go back to where I found it - a couple of paragraphs back. With said malfunction to the reading, I'm taking about four times as long to read the required material as most of the other students, and it's obviously reflecting in my grade (which, if I did VERY well, will be a 40% right around now). Anyways, it's time to make some changes, focus on what's important, and never forget why I'm an Honors student in the first place.
Some more experience-driven bad ideas would be to microwave anything and everything you lay your eyes on that's food, and is in your kitchen. Trust me, it's a messy and disappointing experience.
More bad ideas include pulling Emergency Showers in the science labs (they don't really... shut off...), staying up late every night to get homework done, um... watching a chick flick with somebody "because, honestly, how bad can it be?", lying to your parents about homework (or even at all, sheesh), and naming the whale in Pinocchio "Monstro" as opposed to "Jonathan Paff." The last one is, by far, the most despised bad idea in the known universe, and still today has had controversial repercussions.

I read this and I really lol'd, like really. I totally remember the Emergency shower, that was hilarious. But I have to say my favorite was calling Mr. Paff the whale :) you totally made my day with that one. Maybe you should put something like screaming "THAAA LOOOOOONG WAAAAAAAAALLL" for an answer to a question in an academic meet.
