The summer school grind
Sunday, January 14th, 2007I was hoping I’d have one of those cool summers, you know, like people tell interesting stories about. And I guess I could have, except for two- no, three- things.
I went home, and spent way too much money.
Without the money I spent in NY, I’ve only got living expenses (almost).
and most important-
Because I screwed up last fall, I have to do chem over the summer. Yum.
Problem is, though, I haven’t been doing it. I’ve been walking around town, playing on the internet, reading, flipping out, thinking about getting a job, grocery shopping, dreaming about where I can move if I ever freaking graduate, talking to friends for hours on skype, talking to family for hours on skype, giving advice (why the heck would anyone ask *me*?), and on and on and on. I am a master procrastinator. Heck, I’ve even done laundry before I was out of clean clothes.
Now, tho, with just 4 or 5 weeks untill my exam, I’ve actually got to get back to work. I’ve done 1/5th of the work in 2/3rds of the time. Not a good pace. So starting tonight sometime, and going untill I have to clean tomorrow, so flatmate #3’s (of 5 or 6) mother doesn’t think *all* students live in ratshack dumps, I am going to study. And maybe sleep.
In fact, for the next couple weeks, I think that’s all I’ll be doing. But I *am* alive. I just won’t be outside much. blech.
