Why Study?

Sitting here, getting ready to go to bed. Have a final tomorrow at 8. Have been studying the past couple of days as I tried to work on different things and deal with my students and grading and all that. Spent basically all of today studying, but hey... you know, I'm easily distracted. Especially since it's almost the end of the quarter and summer is about to begin. I find myself battling that part of my brain that says... why study?

Apparently I did much better in my battle than a couple of the History of Life students... There's a graduating senior (who shall not be named) that won't be as much of a graduate as she thought. I guess she took the midterms and the finals, but never actually came to section (which counts for 20% of the grade in the class). And something tells me that if she wasn't coming to section she wasn't going to lecture. Turns out she's not going to pass. Which means... she may not be graduating. Sucks to be her. And she's not the only one. What stupid kids. There was another student who didn't even take the second midterm, never came to section, and thought that Kena and Paul (the profs) would accept her excuse - I'm in a different place in my life, I've already moved on. Turns out she's not getting as far as she thought, not with a degree anyway. Senioritis to the extreme!

Anyway... off to bed. A final tomorrow! I think it will be okay...
