Another school week draws to a close thankfully. I can't believe it has already been a month and I've already exhausted most of the "miss" days that I have for my classes. Well, better to miss class at the beginning than at the end of the school year (you're right, it's better NOT to miss any class to begin with). I feel like I'm beginning to get on the fuckin' ball with my courses this year. I'm finally getting into the groove of writing papers/doing homework...while this sucks, it is also beneficial because at least it helps me guard against complacency by keeping me on my toes.
I've been in a daze of complacency these last few weeks and the funny thing is that I don't know how or why I got there O_O Maybe it just took me a little while for my academic side to get "warmed up." Personally, I think it was just the realization that it was my final full semester and I needed to push myself to get my shit together. It isn't an easy thing to do, especially when the choices before you are: 1. Read a book/PDF file/handout with material that is remarkably dull (why don't you try reading up on French court-life in the 17th-18th century/English Grammar/the technical aspects of Film media???) 2. Watch movies/YouTube/listen to music.
Anyway....I now remember what it is like to concentrate on my classwork like a good academic :) It means never giving up an opportunity to read for one of your classes and not waiting till the last fucking second possible to complete a written assignment!
No one's going to push you but YOU! Please please please remember that Jeff?
