Not Your Typical Furman Overachiever

So, I'm sitting here thinking there's probably something I need to be doing, but of course I'm not going to ;o) I've spent entirely too much time on the internet already today, talking to my AIM buddies, checking e-mails and MySpace and blogs and Facebook, while participating in various other mind-numbing activities like watching Oprah and the Cosby show reruns. (They should still be making new episodes of that show in my opinion, although the kids might be a little old ...)

See, this is how it is for me at the end of a term. I get a little bit lazy. I have most of my big projects out of the way; only exams are left. A good Furman student would be reviewing every note written down during class this Fall (notes which would happen to be the teacher's exact words) and re-reading her entire textbook (especially the highlighted parts, because those must be important!) while also creating her own study sheets complete with diagrams and photographs taken from related resources found online as well as in the newly renovated, million-dollar Duke library. That's just not me, thankfully. I know you'll be shocked to hear this, but I'm not your typical Furman student. I tend to be more lax than most. Some of my lovely peers in the Ed department might see it as "underachieving" or "not meeting the standard." Me? I like to say that I'm just being "balanced." :o)

As I'm writing this post, I'm not even sure where I'm going with it. Maybe this is why no one has left comments lately; I might just be a little too random for you. (I wouldn't be shocked to hear that.) BUT I've decided to keep posting because one or two of you have said you're still reading. And one or two is enough for me :o)

For those of you, who like me, just the other day found yourself at the end of a semester and didn't really remember how you'd gotten there, I wish you well on your exams and last minute projects. Don't stay up too late, but if you have to, drink lots of coffee (and anything else that might help you cope)! And if you DO find yourself needing any late night company, IM me because most likely, I won't be doing anything ;o)
