So I’m right in the middle of crunch time, but I feel great. It is currently 0330ish, and I just finished a paper for my 0930 class, where I will have to take notes on what is going to be on the final. After that, I have to come back to my room and study for two tests I’ll be taking at 1400. Yesterday I was up until 0400 or so writing a paper for my Anthro class, before that I was working on Philosophy. And next week I have finals. But for some reason, none of that has phased me.
On Tuesday, after one philosophy class and before another, I was listening to a Grateful Dead concert (specifically, this one) and I started feeling really good. When I left to go to philosophy, I had Shakedown Street stuck in my head, and I guess that kept me feeling good. When I got back, I listened to some more good music, and I really haven’t stopped since. Maybe the music is to blame. Maybe I don’t care about school and haven’t noticed yet. Maybe I’m just happy. I don’t much care – I’ll take it.
