Much school-hating abound
It must be that time of year again, the mid-mark in the school term (be it quarter of semester) where everything just seems unbearable and so damn awful. One friend's feeling trippy about procrastinating, another was feeling lazy and hating school, and another's concerned she failed an important test. As for me, I have a midterm in...*thinks*...9 hrs, and I've been studying for the past 12, roughly. Throw in some breaks for food and munchies. I'm about to find some more food now. Need refueling. My head's getting a little fuzzy.
I'd like a nap right now, but I haven't let myself all night because even just an hour lost is an hour I'll be stressing later could have been important study time. I'm way behind in the class material, so I've been zooming through the lectures all weekend. I have damn good notes now, but the question is whether or not I actually remember them when the notes are gone. *crosses fingers*
Heh...I always churn out an entry whenever I'm pulling an all-nighter. The typing feels good, the motion and especially the sound, maybe because I've been writing in tiny print all night long. In generally I love typing when I can just release a stream of conscienceness like this.
Let's see. I hope I don't crash in the hour or two right before the test. That would dsuck, especially since popular stimulants like coffee and sugar don't do anything for me. Well, sugar fuels the brain to keep going a little bit, but it doesn't improve function which is what I need. *shrug*
If I can just keep my coooool, and don't worry about the hours ticking away, I should be able to study for the rest of the time just fine. It's really when I get wound up because exam time is approaching that I just shut down and can't cram another single fact into my head. Or else all the other carefully packaged facts just tumble out and are lost to the bus ride up to campus.
Uh oh. I feel a slight headache coming on. Or is that because my lower back aches from sitting for so long and the ache is just traveling up my spine. Yeah, I think that's what it is. Time to get up, stretch, walk around a bit, and eat!
p.s. -- I meant to talk a little about the phenomenon of school-hating, because it really bugs me, but I seem to have lapsed into reporting what my night's been like. Oops. I guess I started this entry because I don't feel like I hate school right now, nor do I feel particularly guilty for not keeping up with the class material.
On the other hand, I want to do well on this test (I'm shooting for my former straight-A status), but this class is known to be difficult. I got a more than decent grade on the first midterm, but I know that doesn't mean I can sit pretty just yet. I also want a nap. I want to nap but ace this material. Le sigh. Life's full of contradictions, ain't it?
