Success through Osmosis

I am procrastinating.  I have a few finals I should be studying for and instead I am writing a blog post.  Not the worst thing I could be doing by far, but still, how can I expect to get anywhere in my life if I'm not studying or at least picking up the books I need to read in order to succeed?

My goal is to find myself right?  But I haven't done anything new or different.  I haven't tried to change my habits or redo my schedule.  I have been sitting here day after day, trying to figure out what to do with myself when really what I need to be doing is trying harder in school.  I need to suck it up and turn my internet off for a few hours and just do it.  So if I know what I need to do, why is it so hard?  Once I sit down and start reading my assignments it will be easy to do.  Well, relatively.  Compared to just staring at the books and hoping my studying occurs through osmosis, starting my assignments should be a piece of cake.  And my roommate is great at studying.  That is all she has been doing for the past two weeks or more.  And her stuff really is hard.  She is a psychology major and every thing she does goes right over my head.

So I have decided.  What I am going to do starting tomorrow after class is not check my Facebook, but get my homework done.  I will study.  That is all.  And when I am done studying I will allow myself thirty minutes to bum around on the computer.  After that, its back to the books.

For anyone who doesn't know and is curious, college is hard.  A lot harder than what the high school guidance counselors let on to when they say it is your only hope to survival.

Anyway, that is my rant for the evening.  Someday I will get this student thing right.  Wish me luck readers!

Live gloriously,

Maria
