So busy (By: Andy Mok)

This past week was a rough one and I'm sure a lot of graduating seniors will "feel me" (thank you urbandictionary.com) on this one. A mixture of current commitments and senioritis has really created a bit of a dilemma for me. For example, I'm really enjoying all the different extracurricular activities that I'm involved in this semester. On the other hand, my internal higher-education clock knows that I'm ready to graduate and will not allow me to take my academics seriously. In all honesty, I've been daydreaming in class like I was getting paid to do so. Earlier today, I was imagining what life would be like if I were someone cool. It was nice.

Anyway, back to my point, I have a couple of classes with my good friend Tim for the first time and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm the biggest slacker ever. The funny thing is that I haven't always been like this. If you were to ask my other friends and peers, they would (hopefully) tell you that I'm pretty diligent with my studies and such. Tim would probably tell you otherwise. Jerk. (Just kidding Tim)

I guess I'm just trying to say that I'm in a stage where I want to make the best memories possible, preferably outside of a class setting. I'm not saying there's something wrong with the classroom environment though. It's just that I think I have enough of them for now and would like different ones. Like, I actually made my first few visits to some of the guys in my FOCUS group. That will be a memory that I'll definitely keep in my jar of... memories. I've also established friendships within the past few months that I'm sure will prove to be one of those life-long relationships and that makes me happy (you know who you are and if you don't, you're probably not one of them. ouch*. Too harsh?).

Don't get me wrong though, getting good grades make me happy too. As a prospective student of some lucky graduate school somewhere in this country, I need to keep academics high on my list of priorities. When I say high, I mean right below video games and right above eating. It's all just a matter of finding the perfect balance. Right?

So who's "feelin' me"?
