I've always thought that the line between excessive laziness and brilliant efficiency is very thin. Wow, that's about as cliche of an introduction as I can think of, but it'll have to work for now. Block's a bitch.Last night, I had the worst temporary case of ADD ever. I absolutely could not concentrate. Part of it was due to the events of the past week (which I will hold off on writing about for a little bit), and part of it was just finally having some time to myself to do what I want (play guitar, watch the The Office and Scrubs).
The plan was pretty simple: study for about an hour for my midterm, make my cheat sheet, go to bed and get some much-needed sleep. The actual night was equally simple: play guitar, watch those TV episodes, play more guitar, read some stuff online, IM a little bit, drive Tony home, finally study for about an hour, decide "screw it, I can finish tomorrow."
The funny thing is, I really could finish it the next day. I knew I had time after my MIDI quiz (for which I quickly learned the material 1 minute before the quiz) because after the quiz we can leave class. And it was perfect. I found a seat in the library jotted down the notes from the assignment, and went on to my Hendrix class.
Even in my Hendrix class, I further used my time efficiently by asking a neighbor for the notes from last week.
I feel like this whole college thing is too easy. It's all just a system of tricks and a little time management, and it's no longer a challenge.
I guess it's a good thing, because I can start doing the things I really want to do.
