Senioritis continues . . .

February 8, 2001

Looking back on my college years, I realize that I have been struggling. I've been working very hard, battling back the assignments and exams. And I won, most of the time. But this semester, something has changed. I do less homework, care less about how well it's done, and I live to tell about it. Perhaps it's senioritis. Perhaps it's laziness. In either case, I've never been less worried about my classes.

I should be majorly stressed right now. I'm behind schedule on my senior honors thesis, behind on reading for most classes, and I haven't even opened my geography textbook during a month of lecture.

So, here I am -- sailing through my senior year without much of a care. I know this year will hold some tough times. There will be late nights in the computer lab and long, angry hours with piles of notebook paper, but I just can't get myself to care about it. I should be searching for a job, preparing for "the real world," dealing with the fact that I have absolutely no idea where I'll be or what I'll be doing in a year. But I'm not. It's far too much fun being worthless.

Hooray for laziness and procrastination!
