Bad Habits Do you ever feel like you're out of control? Like the things you do would happen no matter what you did? I am feeling more and more that way about school. I have developped terrible habits of not studying until the last minute, or not going to class and I can't seem to stop. Like today. I knew there was going to be a "surprise" quiz in my geography class. I had known for a week, give or take. All I had to do to study for the quiz was read a chapter in the text book. Sounds easy, not very time consuming or challenging. Did I do it? No. And did I fail the quiz like I should have? Not even close. I think this is part of the problem. Not studying almost never comes back to bite me in the ass. I seem to have an uncanny knack of knowing exactly enough to get a B-ish grade. Except now, in my structure class. But that's been the exception, not the rule. And now that I am finally doing poorly, I can't seem to get too excited about it. *sigh* On a happier note, I got paid today. Well, I actually got paid last Wednesday, but I kept forgetting to pick up my cheque. Having a regular paycheque is certainly a nice thing. It means I can afford things like lunches and cell phones. You know, the necessities in life. Shall I tell you the number on my cheque? Sure, why not: $359.78. That's for 24 hours of work. And, the bonus for me is that it's really not very hard work, but it's generally interesting. Yay! So now, I'm leaving school to go out in the cold. Winter is finally here and right now I'm not particularly happy about that. Except that it means it's almost Christmas. I like Christmas, it's so much fun to think of things to buy for the people I love. And even more fun to watch them open their gifts. *happy sigh* |
