"Waste myself away"
I'm plowing through exams and really should study a bit more but you know how it is.
You think
"Let me just see if I have any urgent mail."Of course there is none but then you say
"Let me just see if anyone commented on my blog." or
"Maybe I'll just sort the spam folder."Once you start with that you start really blowing time. Check the comics, read some blogs, find out what "omnisemiosis" means. (BTW, I'll give a special prize to whoever can tell me what it means.) Kasamba has a wonderful bit of silliness
here.
Before you know it it's 3 hours later, you didn't eat lunch like you told your study partner you would and you're an hour late for sitting back down to study more.
A way to stay focused and normal would be wonderful. So far the only solution I have is to block out the world %100. I turn off the music. I turn off my phone. I don't hear a word people say to me. I don't look up. I ignore my back pains. My world narrows to just me, the papers, and my pen.
"Out of all thi things I've wasted, I miss my time the most."Or
"Adam doeg al damav v'aino doeg al yamav."

Prof. Alan Stillman shared with us today what he feels is his personal contribution to the Zionist enterprise. In my efforts to broadcast the good gospel I give you:
Stillman's 4 rules of tests:
- First read all the questions and answer the questions in the order of those you know best.
- Once you've chosen the questions to answer, write at least a few words on each of the questions and only then go back and finish the calculations.
- Do not answer any questions that were not asked.
- Corr 1 - If the question appears simple - it probably is.
- Corr 2 - Do not volunteer information. You might be wrong.
- The exception to Rule 3 is: When you need to write something - at least write something!

Comic Universe
Is anyone else weirded-out by Liz and Jon dating after all these years? Now I realize that Garfield is not one of those "serious" comics (like
Mary Worth) but a basic premise of the strip was that Jon
never could get a date with Liz.
Say it with comics...
It's been a tough week.

A blog is a writer clearing junk out of his head by bouncing around the room of chipmunks that we call society.
