Tonight I have to do something that I never thought I'd ever have to do again. Homework.
I've actually had since last Thursday, and just like my schooling days, I've left it all to the last minute. I haven't even chosen a topic yet. I remembered to bring my notes home only because my supervisor got me to remind him that we're not going to be completely available on the floor tomorrow, which jogged my mental note I'd made earlier about putting said notes in my backpack.
I came home from dinner tired, comfortable in the fact that I could come home and just go to sleep as I pleased. Then I remembered I can't do that since I've got homework to do, a lot of it, in fact. I don't know how I held off this attitude for the years I was at school for.
I tend to favour whatever my body tells me it wants to do. If I want to rest, I lie down. If I need to go to the toilet, I go as soon as I can. If I'm hurting, I stop whatever I'm doing and relax. If I have a headache, I take a nap.
This is why I hate studying, this is why I'm glad I don't have to go to school anymore, and this is why I'm never doing tertiary education ever again. Funnily enough, I don't mind doing anything that I feel like is actually going to have some sort of obvious result. This doesn't qualify.
With this, I need to trust that it's going to help me. Or, failing that, find some other motivation.
