It's time

It's that time of the year....the one where we all feel so overwhelmed that we could eat an entire box of icecream or bag of potato chips....the time of the year where we suddenly become immensely aware of every little detail of our lives such a hangnail, something someone said to you yesterday, the lady making your burrito that may have given you less chicken than normal...


All in an attempt to avoid studying for exams. Aside from being Queen of Passiveagressivia, I am also Queen of Procrasta, the Nation. 


I'm refusing to be reduced to tears the night before an 8am finals. 
No, no, no, no, and more no to the following behaviors
- Painting my nails at 2am
- Red Bull and Monster Energy Drinks after not sleeping for more than 3 hours
- Analyzing every friendship/relationship I've ever had and discussing it with strangers at Jittery Joes (This one really does take up an excessive amount of time...apparently there's tons more people that also decide finals week is the time to reflect over their relationship with their 2nd grade school teacher and determine if she actually had a grudge against you)
- Tanning at TownClub pool while "reading my notes" ( I reason that Vitamin D makes me happy and that it helps me study if I'm happy, regardless this is extremely inefficient)
- Group Studying- Unless your name is Kally Woo- You are not someone I can group "study" with. Listening to what you also don't understand isn't going to help me. 
- Cooking lavish meals- Once I get tired of reading, writing, and MEMORIZING I remind myself that I need food to survive and I also need a lot of it. So I pull out my cook book and regardless of whatever am hour it is...I decide I'm going to cook myself something delicious. Very time consuming.
-Reading for pleasure- Inevitably I always get hooked on some new book that I cannot put down right in the middle of finals.  Right now, I'm packing up ALL distractions in my room. All books, papers, journals, kindles, etc. are going in the closet. 


Actually, posting and analyzing my poor studying behavior in an attempt to recognize and avoid is probably just more of an avoiding tactic.
I'm stopping.
Cleaning.
Packing up.
And heading to the library.
