Addiction to Distraction: What have I done with my life?

I write this in a couch that I have been sitting on/laying down for too many hours to count.  I had plans, productive plans.  Homework to do, chapters to read, rooms to clean.  But I’m still on this couch slowly but surely being more behind on my “To Do List.”  I want to work and I have a plans to work.  But then webistes, TV shows, video games, a hookah, friends, and a lack of motivation all contribute into things barely being done.  

The more work piles up, the less motivated I get to do.  At a certain point, I run away from work.  I do things to escape the thought of working.  All these things will bite me in the ass.

This makes me a bad person, and I don’t consider myself a good person until I change.

Midterm Allnighter: Chronicles of Cramming, Part Three

Well I made some progress, two chapters down in two hours.  The homework worries me though.  I see classmates very worried, and they’re more prepared than me.  They spent weeks looking at it and I printed them out this morning.  I’m what you call “blissfully ignorant.”

Midterm Allnighter: Chronicles of Cramming, Part Two

I blame Hell’s Kitchen and South Park, cause I only read half a chapter since the last time I wrote.  I need to pull through.  I have made an ass out of myself academically and now I should do something about it.  Turning the TV off… as it should be.

Midterm Allnighter: Chronicles of Cramming, Part One

So yea, I have an exam at 12:30 PM tomorrow, approx 17 hours from now.  In that time I have to understand 2 months worth of material.  This isn’t your run of the mill mid-term, this is one of those, “If I don’t do well, what the fuck am I doing? type of exam.  So I’m doing this in an effort to give myself a break and at the same time motivate myself by continuously updating this on my breaks (marathoning everything doesn’t seem smart either.)  Just to make this easier I’m gonna break it down like this.
