Almost deserved study break

I’m taking a break from studying, whether I deserve it or not, mostly because I packed up my stuff in order to move next door a few minutes too early. But the other part of it is that I have eighty pages left to read in one of those monster biology books (you know the ones, fifty chapter monsters with pages bigger than twice the size of your head).

After that, (actually, probably before I’m done) I have a meeting with a kid in my Spanish class to go over what we have on the test tomorrow.

And after that, I have to teach myself some calculus, because I haven’t been going to class and I have no idea what’s going on.

Oh, and I have a test in each of those classes tomorrow.

I know, I know. The Academy days are over, and I can’t procrastinate like that with good results. Not that I should have been procrastinating there either. But the fact of the matter is, I’m not good at studying, and I’m not good at getting my homework done in any reasonable amount of time, and I really don’t know how to manage my time because every time I try, it doesn’t work quite how I expected it to.

In about four minutes, I’ll head over to the wing place, which, oddly enough, is more study conducive than the Starbucks I’m sitting in now (and I don’t even have money for the coffee I want).

I’m not sure which is worse, being tempted with a thing I love and have been not drinking (coffee) or being hungry and having to sit in the best wing place in town where the heavenly smells reach you no matter where you go. I guess I’ll find out in four minutes.

Daniel’s grandma sent him chocolates for Valentine’s Day. He tricked me into taking the first one. That jerk.

I miss Holly, and I’ve been largely and hugely and amazingly unavailable lately. More than anything, it’s me trying to catch up to the work I’ve not been doing. After these three tests, I’m starting over. Forgetting what I might not know from the previous work and starting anew and keeping up with my work as I get it.

Also, the incentive Daniel gave me for not missing class? I’ll be working really hard for that one. It was a good incentive. So from now on, I won’t miss a single class, ever. (Shut up Holly. I won’t ever get sick again either…)

Good thing this weekend will be relaxing-ish. Mom wants Daniel and I to come home for a bit. We might. I would kind of like to get my cell phone back. I need that thing.
