I'm "Serious"

I'm experiencing a typical first week of a semester. Our professors had decided to prolong their vacations by not attending their classes today, which meant longer vacant periods for us. I don't really mind them not showing up, what I mind is that I have to wait excessively long hours for my next class. This must be one of their strategies to torture students. It's working pretty good.

I have so much free time in between classes that I decided to study. I couldn't believe it. I'm actually studying ahead for my class. Two weeks indoors did a lot to me. Maybe I'm just bored, but I am trying to be serious this semester. I don't think I'll survive if I had to stay up late every night to study. But of course, I know myself better than anyone, which means that this drive won't last long. I'm betting before the middle of the semester, the laziness would kick in. I'm never the one to rely on when it comes to focusing. I'm easily amused and I have a short attention span.

I couldn't help looking at the fun part of life most of the time. Dwelling too much in the dark does that to you sometimes. It gives you too much hope that you become overly optimistic, kind of like coffee. Anyway, I better go back to studying. I want to get high grades on my preliminary exam so I won't have to beat myself up too much during finals.
