Final Countdown

I don’t usually watch the clock when it comes to the school year, but it’s almost that time. Many classes only have 4 or 5 weeks left before finals. And I’m starting to feel it. My group projects are all kicking in and all I want to do is kick back. I know I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but somehow I feel like I can start doing things later and just work them out at the last minute.

That isn’t how it works, of course. Quality is typically a function of the time put into it, so anything done last minute is almost definitely bound to be worse than a project with ample time behind it. And yet, I feel like if I’ve made it this far, there’s no way I can fail now.

This is obviously not true, as is evidenced by my laptop, which has made it just as far as I have and yet will clearly need to be dragged, kicking and screaming, across the finish line.

So I spent all of today working on my various projects, catching up on work that I’ve been letting slip. And as good as it feels to kick back and do nothing, it’s nice to get things done for a change. I just hope I can keep this working mood going for the next month.
