Priorities, Schmiorities

STUDIO 48 – Let me say before even starting that this entry will be brief. I have very little idea where this entry is going. I am swamped with a lot of stuff that I care very little for and will care even less for in ten years. Tests and papers are a big part of college and they seem to stress most people out. I try my hardest to not be one of those people. As I have stated on this Blog before, I try to live my college life by the mantra “What will be important in ten years.” It works well with my laid-back and at times lazy nature. When the situation arises “should I go out with my friends tonight or should I stay in and study to be sure that I don’t bomb that test tomorrow?”, I can always choose the friends option because I know that the memories made with the people that I care about and that care about me will mean a heck of a lot more in ten years than doing well on one bleepin’ test. The problem with this attitude is that the same dilemma comes up before every exam and the same decision is made every time. Consequently, my GPA could be better than it is.

I have three tests in the next 48 hours and a paper due on Monday. I feel okay on two of the three tests, but the ethics test could be ruff. The paper will definitely be crammed in this weekend sometime. Needless to say, I have plenty to do this afternoon and evening. But first, I’m going to take my own advice and do what I love because that is what memories are made of. Today, my love is of the outdoors and of ultimate frisbee, so I’m going to go play with Kevin, Jimmy and Alex. Sure, studying would be more prudent, but those books will still be there when I get back. ;-)

The good news about being so busy is that I don’t have time to think about any drama in my life. It is nice to have other things to bury myself and my time in then my future, my relationships, and my future relationships. So...ummm...yeah. I guess I’m the ultra-optimist. Hope you are all having a great day and week and I’ll holla atcha again as soon as I need another break from the grind.......
