I AM THE HARE....

I realized today as I sit at my computer looking around my room that I am "The Hare". I have been notified of a midterm now for about a month in a class that I am in. It is going to be a fairly difficult exam as is generally the case for midterms. I have been sleeping both literally and figuratively. These are some examples of what I have done to avoid studying for my exam.

1. Sleeping
-I have come home often after class and been tired. I tell myself while at school I will just hop on the train and go home and study until work, but when I get home I have an overwhelming feeling of fatigue that overpowers my weak desire to study. I give in with ease and watch TV until I fall asleep. I usually nap for an hour or so, but that hour destroys all motivation for studying.

2. Reading
-I will start to study or read my text book, and think about how much better it would be to read something more entertaining than the pure knowledge rambling in the text books. About a month ago I subscribed to AP magazine. This is a magazine about the bands I love going ons. It isn't very entertaining to read every article, but it is much better than trying to understand the things that are over my head in the text books. I have even read novels rather than reading my text books.

3. Television
-This one is easy to explain. I have the ability to record TV shows and watch them at my convenience . DVR ruins motivation to do something that isn't fun.

I have been wasting much of the last month with non study activities, but as the hare I believe I cannot lose. I will do a super sprint to the end at the last moment. I will win just like the hare wins.........
