The Final Countdown of the Semester


Ah the last two weeks of the semester.  The last week of classes and then onto finals week.  This is crunch time folks.  And by crunch time I mean finding as many ways to avoid doing work as possible.  It is truly interesting to see how far off the mind can go in these oh-so-important times.  The best part about this time is that with all the work that needs to be done, coffee, energy drinks, and 5 hour energies are a must, thus enabling you to spend not only the day but the whole night to wander off into oblivion.
My first move is always, “Alright I’ll pick out the perfect music to listen to so that I can keep focus the whole time and knock this paper out in an hour so I can move on to the next one!”  And here is where the merry-go-round starts.  So obviously it takes about that first hour to find the “perfect music” to listen to.  My idea of the perfect music is to listen to something that I know and enjoy, but not know too well because I don’t want it to take away from my brain power. 
Now that the perfect music is found, it’s time to check all the go-to websites just one more time.  Yea that always works out well.
So it’s time to start the paper now right? Wrong.  It’s obviously time to check out David Akers’ kicking stats in 2001 because without that information, it would be impossible to move on.  Then maybe I’ll check out stats of kids that I know that play a sport in college.  And now, the music isn’t right so I have to go back and find a better selection.  And by this point I have to go to the bathroom and stretch out 'cause I’ve been sitting in a chair for an hour and a half.
 And now it’s time to start the paper!  Bing bang boom, those first few sentences fly by.  I’m gonna finish this paper in no time!  [Enter stomach grumbling].  Well how am I supposed to keep focus on the paper if I’m hungry? Food time. 
Wow am I full, I’ll just sit down and rest for a little bit, just one episode of Always Sunny and I’ll start back up.  Bing bang boom, 3 episodes later, now it’s time to get back to the paper.  So now I just have to pick the perfect music and I’ll get back into the groove. Riiiigggghtttttt…..
