T-minus 50 hours before my first Chemistry midterm. Instead of preparing for it, I’m busy doing a problem set for Physics, which is due the same day as the midterm.
But you know what? That’s stupid. I just realized that. Right this moment. That’s totally stupid. Because the problem set constitutes such a small portion of my final grade for Physics. The midterm, on the other hand, constitutes a colossal portion of my final grade for Chemistry. What the hell am I doing?
That’s it. Physics book down, Chemistry book up. I will do the Physics problem set, but after I’m comfortable enough with the material that’s on the Chemistry midterm. And if that causes me to get a lower grade on my Physics problem set, so be it. Compared to my Chemistry midterm, it ain’t matter.
Jesus… what was I thinking?
