procrastination schmocrastination

wow, that doesn't really work with big words.

well children, it's that time again. that time when it suddenly hits you that your vacation is over and if you don't start studying for that test on thursday you'll be eated by a hobgoblin or worse. but to that i say "ha! come ye hobgoblin, and try to devour THIS noble soul! do your worst, for i fear thee not!" and i don't.
however, i do fear seeing a big letter "F" on a test/quiz/paper/whathaveyou. this is why i must study. the thing is, i hate studying. i hate anything that takes away from my enjoyment of life, and i try my hardest to avoid them. studying is one, hence my distaste. college is supposed to be fun, gosh darn it! i'm paying thousands of dollars a year for this, so i require enjoyment! please world, feed my short attention span, my hatred of inactivity, my dependence on technology, my lack of work ethic. after all, the rest of my generation has low standards, why should i be any different?

i got rid of my facebook today. one of my friends created a new password, and i shan't be able to access it until the school year is over. it kind of REALLY bothered me that this evening when i found myself with oodles of studying and homework to do, i missed the comforting distraction of looking at people's updates about this, that, and the other thing, most of which i didn't care about. why do i miss it? why do i miss the burden of knowing what 680 people are doing with their lives? why do i have this constant need to be fed useless information? why do i feel that with the severing of my relationship with facebook, i've been cut off from the human race? why am i looking to spend the time i wasted on facebook with other pointless distractions, like this blog post?

good question[s]. i don't know.
