Not much to report today: I skipped my only class because I’m the laziest person alive, then went grocery shopping and treated myself to an Ultimate Publix sub for lunch. After that, my day was no more than a procrastination-study cycle, which ended about 20 minutes ago. Tomorrow’s my first exam of the semester and I guess it’s important to me because it’ll show me whether attending class regularly actually helps my grades. It’s sort of sad that it’s my senior year and I’m just deciding to find that out, but I guess slacking has pseudo-worked for me so far, so I figured I wouldn’t mess with my “system”. I’m only changing it now because I’m curious if my grades will reflect any extra effort on my part, or if I’m just destined to be a mediocre engineering student. I think I must’ve missed the lecture that the professors give the first week of classes, when they tell the engineers how important it is to work hard and compete for the best grades. I’m pretty much satisfied graduating with a decent GPA, so I can move on with my life. I guess that’s really the difference: engineering isn’t my life, whereas it is some peoples’.
Well, my test is in 10 hours, so I should probably get some sleep. I was tempted to reschedule my bi-weekly guitar lesson that I’ll be having tomorrow morning at 10:00, but I decided against it. If I’m going to skip my only class on Thursday, then I need some sort of regimented activity to depend on for my sanity. I’m afraid without some commitment at least one day a week, I might be worthy of the “typical college student” stereotype… I’ll avoid that for now.
