You know how Saturday mornings you let yourself sleep in because you figure hey, if you were falling asleep in all your early (and even not-so-early) classes during the week, that probably means you need to get some sleep - but then when you wake up at ten thirty or (heavens) eleven thirty on Saturday morning you feel like a slob and drink really quite a lot of coffee figuring that it will allow you to ascend to this like superhuman level of study-focus capacity, and you’ll get just as much done as you would have had you gotten up at seven like you usually do on Saturdays, you freak? Right but then it turns out that all that coffee really just makes you kind of jittery and distractable, because you successfully weaned yourself from your caffeine dependency last year, remember, and with it went your caffeine tolerance so it turns out that drinking a pot of coffee all by yourself isn’t at all advisable, anymore. And so you’re all jittery and distractable and not only do you not have even your normal level of study-focus capacity but in fact rather less than that, your normal level, and you end up not studying but using up most of a roll of paper towels dusting for the first time in weeks or (probably) months. And the thing about dusting is that there is always, always something else that needs to be dusted.

But the good news is I’ve been offered the opportunity to write a senior honors thesis in philosophy next year, and I’ll almost certainly accept it (the offered opportunity), so at least I’ll have an awful lot more work than I do now. Which is something.
