Is Chemistry cursed, or is it just me?

May 15, 2007 07:07

I think I've noted before that the night before a chemistry test, I never seem to study. Instead, I get distracted by good writing and stay up to ungodly hours of the night, needing to finish one more page, one more paragraph...

This weekened has shown me that this can get even more out of hand. I did nothing but read and write all weekend, the exception being some time I spent yesterday morning studying Chemistry. I haven't taken a single multiple choice practice test. My free response scores might be good, but there's no way my MC scores match them. And you know what I say?

Oh well.

It doesn't matter.

Because I've been spending the time doing work for Ages of Wonder instead, and even though the result is a story that's not at all one of my best, given the time it was absolutely the best that I could do, and I'm really rather proud of myself for getting it done. Also, it was good to feel like a writer again.

And now I still have a few minutes before I leave to take the AP Chemistry test. Just a few more minutes for me to not study, and worry about important things instead.

(More later about the amazing book that seduced me away from the studying. Because there was a book. There's always a book.)
