Monday, February 9th, 2009Inner Asian
Sunday, February 1st, 2009It’s that time of the semester again. Where we must say good bye to fun Tommy and hello to… nobody because Tommy’s not here, he’s at the library again.
You see, I am externally motivationally wracked by multiple internal personas.
| Inner Asian | “Go back to the library. You aren’t really hungry.” |
| Inner engineer | “Go have fun. Come back with a wizard’s staff.” |
| Inner Londoner | “Put on a top hat and walk around in the rain.” |
Now, you would think that Inner Londoner would have the edge, but unfortunately Inner Asian knows kung fu so he pwned the other guys’ asses. This is all part of my “study montage”. In the movies, this would be a series of no-dialogue “leveling-up” themed scenes shortly before the protagonist emerges victorious, all set to music. Here, there is no music. Only long tedious scenes in the undergraduate library which will probably be left on the cutting room floor anyway.
I have to go to the library because I can’t study in my room. I’m serious when I say, I’m pretty sure one of the people on my floor has an alphorn. I need either quiet or a constant white noise. I have my pick of a library or the laundry room. The laundry room is closer but it’s hot, often crowded and occasionally contains spooning couples. On the other hand, the libraries are comfortably cool.
I just can’t wait until the snow melts and I can bust out my scooter.
