last gasp

One online exam this week, two weeks to go, three papers to write. I'm thankful for the end of classes—now I can finally plunge myself headfirst into the writing zone and shut myself from the world for a good many hours in one sitting. Just the way I like it... Only that it sometimes takes up to an hour for me to be in the zone, sigh.

It's a love-hate relationship with the Internet, really, and I always wonder if we do become more—or less—efficient with its invent. Let it not distract, and it becomes a powerful resource mining tool. Once social media and pretty pictures find their way into your peripheral vision: Bad news. They suck you in before you can say "pin it"—and spit you out a little too slow.

Lord have mercy.
