Good hygene gone bad
The campus starts to smell funny just around finals time. People start ignoring basic hygene and Ramen Noodle profits go through the roof. The library turns into a zoo. At about the same time, the snow falls out. So, you've got a wind chill of minus 20, no way to get to your test because your car is snowed in, no idea what test it is you're taking or where it is you have to go, no chance of getting anything higher than a D, and absolutely no clue why you got up this morning.
Welcome to college. Finals are the most productive time period in the entire year for anything but studying. I will clean my room, do the dishes, even clean the bathroom (which has't been done since last semester's tests), but I refuse to study. Of course, I have to, so I'll do it between the hours of 1 and 6AM the day before my 7:30AM test. I'll get it done, but I'll be very confused why I feel like I'm in a daze for the rest of the day.
College has given me some extraordinary abilities. I can accelerate my typing speed to over 3000 words per minute when I have a 5-page paer due in fifteen minutes and all I've managed to write is my name and half of the assignment title. I can stay awake for 72 hours straight, accomplish about 15-minutes' worth of work, then focus my attention on a 3-hour test, do well, and promptly fall asleep for the next day and a half. I can survive without food or water, as long as I have Ramen Noodles. As far as I'm concerned, nothing involved with them can be classified as nutritious, despite being delicious.
But I can't get myself to study for finals. I know I have a test in seven hours. I know I'm not ready for it. I know that there has to be something that I haven't done around the apartment. I might need another Swiffer wet pad, though. WalMart is probably still open...
