At the beginning of each semester it is common for students to make promises or commitments to themselves about how well they will do. They spend hours a day often studying or doing homework. Yet, as time goes on, however, laziness sets in, sleep depravation starts taking effect and you find yourself skipping class, watching march madness instead of doing homework or studying for your final. Is that a run on sentence? I think so. See, in my first blog I would have cut that into a few sentences in order to avoid a run on but by the end of the semester I’ll find a way to make that run on add to the meaning of the blog so that I don’t have to go back and fix it. At the same time I add several sentences of explanation, therefore, adding to the length of the blog and furthering my progress. Point made.
What is going on in my mind during this whole process? Do I somehow convince myself that grades aren’t as important? Or, that I will have time to recover before the final exam? Or, am I in denial that my grades are suffering? Well, for me it seems like a little from all of these. I feel like I did really well at the beginning of the semester and therefore have some slack that I can take advantage of now. I actually have lowered the importance of grades in my mind. It’s interesting though because I know that I’m wrong I just don’t care enough right now. I could go on and on about this but I’m out of words. Not that I don’t want to keep writing but I don’t have to. Therefore I choose to stop. Now.
