study break #6000.

I have a final on Monday afternoon and I have barely even cracked open a book. I want to pretend that I don't need to study, and that I am such a genius that it will obviously just come back to me, because I'm smart like that, but Let's not kid ourselves here.

I need to pull myself together, and focus less on spring fashions and vodka based cocktails and more on 'Literary terms and genres', because let's face it: the adorable sundress I'm bidding on, on ebay right now, isn't going to determine whether or not I get a degree. (Although it is really cute, and I hope I win it because it's cute sunshine yellow color, and sweetheart neckline will make summer nights, even that much more fun!)

I don't know what it is about me and school. I thought this time around would be different and that I would have more motivation to do well since I was funding it myself, and I worked hard for the money. I just don't have the drive and motivation that most students have. It's weird, but I honestly think I am missing the student gene. The one that enables you to buckle down, study hard and pass with flying colors. I don't know where it is, but I imagine I lost it somewhere between grade 12 chemistry and my first year university class called, "Operations Management". I'm pretty sure that class could make even the most dedicated student, take their eye off the prize. The best part about it was sitting next to Danielle and making fun of the professor's overly bushy eyebrows, and thick tube socks stuffed into his loafers. Needless to say, I didn't learn a lot that semester.

This is my vow to turn over a new leaf. I need to be more studious, even if it means being a little bit less social (seriously, i just heard a giant rip through my heart as I was typing that). School is important, and I need to give it more attention, even if it kills me, and trust me, it just might! Wish me luck!
