Afternoon In the Life...

...of a student. More specifically, a slow-working, undiagnosed-ADD, not-very-smart student. Namely, me. Today's time of homework (which is still in full swing, mind you) has been particularly hard for some reason. But I'm determined to have a good attitude. Determined. The pastor at the church I went to today said that greatness is the peak of the mountain that has been climbed laboriously for many years. That success means burning the midnight oil when everyone else is out living it up (or sleeping; they're practically synonymous). So, with those sentiments in my mind, the strength of the Lord in my heart, and a cup of coffee in my hand, I will press on through the wee hours of the morning, studying and reading and writing.

Nothing worth having comes easy. The pain makes the city more beautiful. etc. etc. (I need lots of inspiration, you see).

Anyways, I'm a terrible time-manager, so in an effort to get better in that area, I've kept a detailed account of how I've spent my time this afternoon/evening and since I know you're all interested in it, I'm going to post it. Enjoy!

I know you are probably super jealous of my life right now. Super jealous.

Anyways, I've wasted enough of my time that could have been spent much more wisely, so I'm going to log off.

Much Love,
