Now that Obama’s inaugurated, it’s time to stop merely talking about change and start actually doing something about it. In that spirit, I shall chronicle my successes (and failures) in getting shit done.
Today’s failure: orgo studying/homework.
Hmm. This is going to be an uphill battle, I can tell.
Before the start of this quarter, I said to myself that I was going to be better about studying, especially for organic chemistry. As I waste time on the night before class, time that should be spent doing study problems from the chapter but instead I am spending pounding out this blog post…I can say that, so far, I’m failing miserably: I opened my chem textbook and, after skimming through some scintillating reading about the reactions of alcohols, I decided to do something else.
I can maybe claim some small amount of success, first having actually opened the textbook, and second not running towards the TV after abandoning hope of school-related progress. Maybe.
My working theory at the moment is that my apartment is not at all conducive to doing homework. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good solutions to this particular problem…
