I should NOT be doing this right now.

I hate writing papers for class.

Wait, actually, that’s not exactly true. I like writing papers for class, I do- it sure beats taking scantron tests or using a calculator to find solutions to problems. I like having all the information I need already stored up in my brain and not having to study for stuff because I already know all about it (because usually all they ask you to do is express your ideas on paper). I like having the freedom to unleash the awesomeness that is my creativity upon my unsuspecting finals. I like feeling accomplished when I finish, knowing that I was able to successfully transform my thoughts from mind to matter. Because I’m a freakin ninja at this sort of stuff.

So I guess I don’t hate writing papers for class. I need to rephrase that first sentence.

What I hate is that when I’m writing papers for class, I feel like I have both the desire and the ability to write about pretty much anything (and everything?) except what I’m supposed to be writing about.

Which is why I’m writing here. Instead of writing my stupid paper.

Stupid finals.

It’s Times Like These…

…when I wish I was a ninja.

Okay, that’s a lie. I wish that all the time.

I should say it’s especially times like these when I wish I was a ninja.

That way, I could worry about cool ninja stuff. Y’know. Instead of life. And finals.

Stupid finals.

I Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore…

It’s not a good sign when every evening, without fail, my attempts at study or homework sessions somehow morph into “me drumming my fingers on my laptop to whatever is playing on my iTunes” or “rocking out to my awesome air guitar” sessions within the first half hour…

I think I need a new ‘Study Music’ playlist.
