Homework... I really should not be having a lazy day today but sometimes I just can't motivate myself to do anything.

Think of the nearest deadline and start panicking. Works like a charm.

And definitely use http://asoftmurmur.com/ when you're studying. I suggest craking up "fire" and "coffeeshop."

I was planning on just bailing on a physics test last week, and then my friend bitch-slapped me hard across the face. It woke me up pretty well and I did O.K. so I guess you could try that too.

I should be studying.

Nothing's worse than the 0 you get by not going; I failed more than one class that day.

Helps to remember it's a hell of a lot easier to recover from a 50 than a 0.

I live in Texas, and there was an Ebola scare at my school. Because of this, I stayed home for about 3-4 weeks and now I have a large amount of homework to make up for that I have been avoiding like the plague.

Use of "avoiding like the plague" in the same comment as "Ebola scare" has been noted (with amusement).

I have a friend that swears he'll never work on weekend homework on Saturday. I don't get it, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

E: I also suspect he'll have to reconsider this practice come college.

Not necessarily - I get by pretty well without doing anything over the weekend.

Then again, I made doing as little effort as possible while still passing into a sport in high school, and urban planning / geography isn't the hardest subject. But I do think that if you're studying 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, it might be a good idea to start learning to learn more efficient.

I think that's what I'll tell myself from now on. "It's not that I'm not working enough, it's just I'm efficient!" Take that, effort.

As a college kid currently watching Django after watching Big Hero 6 earlier today and playing Bayonetta with my sister before taking her off to make it rain pizza slices and cookies, I can say with some safety that it's possible.

How was Big Hero 6? It looks fuckin' hilarious.

It is fuckin hilarious.

The short was better than the movie in my opinion, however.

Is it gonna make me cry? Looks like it's gonna make me cry.

Just read a lil blip in Time about the short. Now I pretty much have to go see it, I guess. Next weekend!
