Reflection

I thought some more about why I hate college. I still hate it for all of the reasons listed in the previous post, but I thought up some other stuff that makes sense. I am ill prepared for real life. I can’t focus. I don’t ever finish anything I start. And I have no organization skills, so I keep getting blindsided by stuff. I tried keeping this little tiny notebook with a todo list in it with me, but I keep forgetting it or leaving it places. Here is how my day goes, so you can understand my stuggle.

1. Fight with alarm clock for 20 minutes.
2. Get up, go to take shower.
3. Note there is very little soap, remember to put in notebook.
4. Finish shower. Note towel smells like it needs to be washed. Remember to put in notebook.
5. Start to get dressed, note laundry must be done since their are no clean socks. Remember to put in notebook.
6. Wear sandals to class, making feet cold and killing efficiency for walking. Arrive 3 minutes late to class.
7. Try not to focus on my cold feet.
8. Try not to focus on stupid groupmates who think it’s high school and won’t shutup.
9. Try to focus on teacher.
10. Notice stupid group mate takes really nice pretty notes. Smile at her. Need to ask her for notes later. Remember to put in notebook.
11. Avoid thinking about stupid groupmates.
12. Try to focus on teacher.
13. Remember you didn’t type up the last set of notes for this class. Try to read them, but remember you need to focus on teacher. Remember to put in notebook.
14. Find elusive wall street journal subscription card in back of text book. Contain jubilation. Try not to think of lame story that the cantor at temple used to tell all culminating in: “Son, had you opened the book…”.
15. Think of story so I won’t think of not thinking about it.
16. Try to focus on teacher.
17. Remember the card needs to be mailed. Remember to put in notebook.
18. Mouth is drying out. Stupid listerine toothpaste sucks. Need to revert to AIM ToothPaste. Remember to put in notebook.
19. Try not to think about water!
20. Class ends. Pack up your stuff.
21. Leave.
22. Go back to see if your hat is still there.
23. Find hat, leave again.
24. Walk back to dorm, cursing lack of clean socks. Remember to put in notebook.
25. Mull over class. Wish you had took better notes. Need to call pretty notes girl. Remember to put in notebook.
26. Arrive at dorm. Room is a mess, it needs to be cleaned.
27. Start cleaning.
28. Put on music to hide monotony.
29. Notice your Itunes library has a lot of lame music in it that needs to be removed. Remember to put in notebook.
30. Notice you have new email. Check it. Nothing good.
31. Resume cleaning.
32. Get distracted by something falling off your shelf. Yesterday’s untyped noteds. I swear I was to remember to put that in my notebook.
33. Look at notebook.
34. It reads: “1) Buy Soap”
35. Yell Obscenities.
36. Get pissed off at how poorly I run my life, and start blogging.

I should mention, it’s not yet 11:00am.
