My Attempt at Studying
I am one day away from finishing my first semester of Graduate School - wow! I can't believe how quickly the past 4 months have gone. Initially, I was looking forward to quickly finishing school and getting back to my career, now...I'm kinda loving the student lifestyle! Minus the studying, of course.
This is how studying went today...
"Ugh...I need a change of scenery! I've spent WAY too much time in my apartment, WAY too much time in the library, and WAY too much time at Ithaca Bakery! I need somewhere new to study.
"It's so nice out, I wish I could just go for a hike or run by the lake. NO! You have to study, one more day and then you're done - focus! Okay, okay...Oh! I know, I can park by the lake and study in the car. It will be SO nice, new scenery, calm, quite, inspiring - perfect!"
In the car.
"What's that sound? No way! There's an enormous (like 100 birds) flock of geese flying towards that field. Hey, there's another...and another...there's, like 5 giant flocks about to land in this field! I've got to stop and see this!"
Driving to the lake.
"I bet the waterfalls are looking amazing right now from all this rain. I've always wanted to stop and check out that one that's on the way to the lake. It won't take long..."
At the lake.
"Oh cute! There are baby ducks! Those duckling are so cute, I better go say 'hi'. Wow, look over there! I've never seen a duck like that before. It's so far away, I can't really see it very well. Oh well, I've got to get to studying."
5 minutes later.
"That duck is closer to this side of the lake now, I can get a closer look."
Two other ducks come on the scene.
"Those ducks are so little and cute! I've never seen ducks like that before! Oh, wow, they just disappeared - they're fishing! I wonder if they'll come up with a fish....The other duck just went under, too. I wonder where he'll come up. Here come two more ducks flying in - I've never seen ducks like that before! I wonder what kind they are. I could check with my phone....NO! You're suppose to be studying, go and study!"
5 minutes later.
"I have to go to the bathroom, I guess I'll go home."
