justification for a college student

The stack of History notes glares at me from the red folder strategically placed beside me. The even print seems to leap from the page, eager to tell the story of the Greek tyrants and the Persian Wars mixed with Solan's Constitution and the laws of Draco. And yet as I finger through the pages, one after another after another after another, my heart sinks as I realize there is more than 20 pages to memorize and the material of Greek History certainly does not hold any captivating magic. I decide there is still time to go over the boat load of History notes before my return back to school and defiantly tune out the voice of the history Professor to tune in the soft drawl of the Latin Professor by grabbing my textbook. Carelessly paging through the notes, my desire to study Latin (which in actuality never existed in the first place) slowly disappears further still when I realize there is over 38 days to review and memorize. Though I dreamed of reaching the studious level of being able to know them so well that I would be able to recite them front and back even in my sleep, I suddenly no longer possess the motivation and drive of being that studious. So that subject is cast aside until further notice. Gazing upon the dimly lit kitchen table, I grunt heavily when I realize the subject staring me in the face is the most dreaded of all: Algebra. Ha! Not a chance. And without further adieu, that subject quickly joins the rest of the "neglected souls." Apologetics? Nah--too much reading for one night. What about Logic? or English? Eehh...maybe tomorrow night. There's always Sacred Scripture notes I should recopy, but then again, I should get the subjects I've already started over and done with before I think about starting a new one. But I've already decided that I do not possess the proper disposition to adequately study for History, Latin, Algebra, Apologetics, Logic or English tonight--I guess Sacred Scripture can be cast aside for the moment as well. So! What does that leave me with? Absolutely nothing. My conscience can now rest guiltlessly...for I am not wasting time writing this entry in my blog instead of studying.

......if only life were that easy.
