Wah wa Wah

Postby MichaelXY on Wed May 07, 2008 6:28 am

Have you ever been studying around midnight for a test in a couple days down the road, and while your reading the book, all you seem to get out of it is, Wah wa wa wah. Wah wa, wah Fzzzz wa pffft.
That seems to be happening to me tonight. With all my good intentions, I just can't seem to get into my studies.
How does one force feed material that is about as interesting as watching paint dry, or grass grow. I would almost rather force feed myself up my chimmny, but the thought of encountering a rotting corpse in a red suit deters me.
Seriously, hows does one who is somewhat A.D.D. focus on a chapter that drives one to thrust a metal spike into their eyeball and swirl it around.
Sometimes I just don't think I picked the right major.

It's not the major. It's the material. Boring stuff makes your mind wander, esp if the internet is nearby.

Well Michael, you're not alone. I am used to it once. But remember, the one that makes you happy shall set you free. Just take things easy and slowly. :D

When I return to school, my motivation will be the fact that I can graduate in only two years if I apply myself hard enough. Andrew's right, how badly you want it plays a huge factor.
Generally speaking, the more people talk about "being saved," the further away they actually are from true salvation.
