On Ulterior Motives

On the eve of my first mid-term exam of this semester I am listening to music and trawling through the Internet. This is the reason why I have spent the last few days spending very little time in my beloved plane of (un)reality, “studying like a maniac” (as a friend of mine put it) compared to my normal standard of studying new topics for the first time on the day before the exam and leaving out many others owing to the lack of time.

Actually, making sure I got my requisite hours on the Internet and telephone were not the only reasons I went through this self-imposed attack of the conscience. No. Not at all. You see, I want to watch Grey’s Anatomy tonight. That’s the only reason I rescheduled my study timings. So that I could watch an episode that features the most unlikely events that can happen in the lives of those in the medical profession, who have enough time on their hands to be confused about their love-lives, relationships with estranged family members and the drinking limit they should be setting for themselves. Oh the drama! It’s brilliant, I tell you.

And no, nobody has the right to tell me that I have all my priorities wrong and that I should not have been a good little girl and studied my material beforehand just so that I would not lose out on recreation-time, but because I genuinely feel interested in where my life is heading and want to work hard to do well and be successful. Nobody.

I’m lazy. Period. And I want to make sure that I can continue being laid-back and relaxed ... even during exams. They shall not disrupt my daily routine of being lethargic! I know that I love the adrenaline rush I get out of gambling before an exam, but now I shall be experimenting with new situations. Mainly out of sheer boredom, of course. Not because I give a damn about how I will be doing. It’s just that my life is starved of drama at the moment, and being the drama queen that I am, I need something that will keep me awake through the day. Perhaps I should call up somebody now and irritate that person. *evil laugh*
