...but I'm so comfortable...so comfortable...

Just before my week off from school, I had intended get started on my 10-page politics paper during that time. Also, I planned on reading my German history book and starting to re-teach myself the language. Instead, I retreated into my consciousness and while I did learn and get a lot done, I accomplished nothing in direct relevance to my classes.

I don't know. Sometimes Often I become detached from everything. My mind floats around, gravitating towards what feels right to think and do. It's usually a positive thing, but it is so damn difficult for me to pull myself back together and return to my responsibilities. I'm supposed to attend my literature class this afternoon at 1:30, but I simply cannot bring myself to go sit there and listen to inane and subjective drivel while my mind is so active...logic tells me that it is important to attend class, but that part of me is losing to the louder voice inside urging me to follow my instinct and allow myself to wallow in this for one more day...

I'm just not feeling that class today. The teacher, while nice and usually willing to hear what I have to say, bores me to death and my classmates are so far behind me in their abilities to actually read and absorb literature...it's harmless and not a big deal at all (they all give me good feedback and I do like generating thoughtful discussions), but I can't deal with that boring stuff today, I just can't.

What I'm going to do is throw my camera, notebooks, and discman into my backpack, buy an extra pack of Luckies, and meditate over at Marina Bay.

reflection, school, philosophy
