Make it stop!

When it rains, it definitely pours. One after the other. 

It was my choice - a light load this semester. Well, not much of a choice actually, considering that they’re all that’s left. I have all the time in the world. And yet, I don’t give too much of an effort to at least make my time worthwhile. And when I hear people complaining about their time, of lack thereof, and tell me how lucky I am, I just shrug and tell them how I beat myself last semester to make it through. 

Oh yes, I have always made that excuse. It’s been months since this semester started and yet I still use the “I-got-so-tired-and-burnt-out-from-last-semester” line. And I still can’t push, or even shove, myself into doing some effort. 

When the exams came, the crammer that I was, had to spend sleepless nights studying. Not because I was into the zone then. It’s because I was too stubborn to start studying early on when I had all the time in the world. I would start only the day before the exams. There is no need to guess how bad I felt after that week. Not just bad, actually, I felt guilty. And I know I would feel a whole lot worse once the results would start revealing themselves. The fruit of my non-labor.  (more…)
