So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
This is my second entry today. The only reason it's being written is because I have a test tomorrow.
Monday, March 17, 2008 @ 7:10 pm
I need a referee when I study so he can give me a procrastination violation or a non-reading foul or he can just fucking eject me from the internet altogether.

I have nothing to say but I feel the need to NOT open my book and NOT do practice problems and NOT learn how to use these equations because that's fucking boring.

How do normal people make themselves study? There was this chick at my college who studied so much that she dumped her prospie (prospective student) in my hall so she could prepare for a chem midterm. She's at Harvard Med right now, but she's fucking CRAZY. I feel like if you're going to be THAT hardcore, if you're that determined to NOT have a life, then you fucking DESERVE to go to the best freaking medical school in the world (because it's not like you'll have much of a life while you're there, either).

I think the issue I have is that I often question whether or not all this studying is actually worth it in the end. Do I want to do anything related to electricity and/or magnetism in the future? Hell fucking no. But I still want to be able to say that I can do calculus and rock physics just as well as the engineering kids in my class.

But I don't want the bragging rights THAT much. Compared to what other people brag about (financial resources, sexual conquests, social connections, etc.), I feel like the right to say you're good at physics is pretty fucking dubious in most circles.

Where was I going with this? To tell you the truth, I don't even know anymore. I just kept typing and typing and now I have nothing left. I guess that means I should crack my book open now, right?

Or, you know, watch Veronica Mars on DVD...

Hahah! I don't know how some people do that either.. I don't have a life and I procrastinate a lot..

The problem with a net-ejector is that you wouldn't be able to do a search on the things you didn't understand... like this projec ti have due at 11a tomorrow.
