Procrastinatin'

May 11, 2009 02:44

So I have a lot of finals that are pretty weighty (40% of my grade for math) and I'm having a REALLY hard time getting myself to work. Right now I have until 4:30 in the afternoon for the math final and though that leaves me plenty of studying time, I should have started earlier.

Problem is, even in studying I procrastinate. Instead of figuring out what the hell a Taylor Series does and how it works and whatever (I kind of skipped that week of class) I find myself solving integral after integral. Because that's more fun. And I don't even do all the integrals--I do just the trig subs and integration by parts problems, because I can't do long division and partial fractions. I even do them twice, to cement them in my mind.

I guess sometime in the next 12 hours I will have to get on to studying all those things I have no clue about.

Speaking of which, when math is over, I have about a day to cram in a few months of physics. I keep telling myself how hard can it be, if the only topics are projectile motion, basic torque and inertia problems, and basic thermodynamics? That's like three topics. But my grade on the last exam ought to have tipped me off...

I guess the point of this is that it is 3 in the morning and I'm feeling like I probably dug myself into a pretty big hole. And the only way out is INTENSE STUDYING.
