As the year comes to a close

I know a lot of people will be posting Expo blogs soon, but I thought I'd bring a breath of a fresh air and post a reflection of the past few weeks.

I'm going to make this blog a little different by starting with a few seemingly ambiguous statements and connecting them all together.

1. I don't want to study for my Chemistry midterm.

2. Harry Potter is my favorite series of books and movies.

3. My roommates birthday was last week.

Okay it seems like none of these statements should connect at all. But, in a series of many many run on sentences, I will describe to you the reason why I'm writing this blog.

I am writing this blog simply because I do not want to study for my Chemistry exam. In fact, I'm heading off to Grainger when I'm done typing this blog because I don't want distractions. And although all 4 of my suitemates are across the hall watching a movie with Room 211 here at Presby, I find it really hard to concentrate. I think I am so tempted to do other things when I'm in my dorm other than study; and at first I thought that was weird but in Eng 198 class a few months ago, the ELAs said something that really made me realize I'm not so weird after all.

Brett told the class that he cannot ever study in his apartment and that he has to go to Grainger to study, while Jason said he can never study in Grainger, and can only do so in his apartment. So, we are all different and all have different habits- mine being that I am too distracted in my dorm, especially since they're watching Harry Potter 4 across the hall and it's my favorite movie series of all time...And take for example this run on blog that really doesn't need to be this long- clearly I am procrastinating. And I keep finding even more ways to procrastinate. My roommate's birthday was LAST week and I didn't decorate for her room so I decided I still should decorate even though her birthday was five days ago. So, instead of studying for math, I blew up balloons to put in her room. I am so unefficient.

Lastly, I'd like to close this blog by saying, that these next few weeks with tests and finals are going to be terrible. But, I know that everyone else will be sharing my pain, and although I'm not going home until the 18th because I have a final that day, it will all be worth it when a month of break comes around.

And that is all the rambling I have for today.
