What Happens When My Brain Refuses to Do Homework

I have been in school for a week and a half and already my mind refuses to study as much as I want to. I sometimes feel weird because of my arguments inside my head. All I think is, 'Taylor, it's time to start on homework! Get to it! So you can be done for tonight!'

 I get a ridiculous response, 'Shut up about homework! Yada yada yada, that is all you want to do! You never want to have fun anymore. I refuse to do homework right now.'

I am resigned, thinking 'well, this is a dilemma. I need to get it done sometime tonight.'

My brain gets that stupid teenage retort that all older people hate with a 'Whatever. I don't care. Homework is a stupid waste of time.'

It is at this time that I realize I am giving myself a lecture on how homework is not stupid and that I will thank myself later in life if I do this. I was mothering myself. But since I could not concentrate on the readings, I was trying to do, my brain won out with glee. So instead of doing homework at this moment, I am writing.

My brain seems to getting happier as I go, but the whole fact that I just had an argument with myself kind of worries me. It's like a conversation, right? So, there isn't anything to worry about... I think.

These past weeks have been great coming back to school, since apparently my roommate and I haven't received another one or two of them. Knock on wood. She helped me move into our old roommate's room, and we are getting along better than ever now. Here, here to separate rooms! Especially because I have 8 am classes and all her days start at noon. Saves us a lot of resentment on both sides.

 I also applied to be a community advisor for my college. I really hope I get it! Almost everyone has said that I will be one, but I don't have that acceptance letter in my hands yet so I still need to work for it.

This past weekend I went to see the movie Underworld Awakening and it was basically amazing. But only because I am into science-fiction action thrillers. I also have a fad for supernatural creatures, which did not become so because of Twilight, I liked that kind of stuff way before those books and movies came out. Example is that I love dinosaurs! I am a nut for them. Want to know how much? One of my favorite movies since I was basically nine years old was Jurassic Park. I know almost all the lines. I mean they aren't supernatural, but that shows how much of a geek I am. Which I am a HUGE geek, but I think all the cool people are... isn't that what a geek would say anyway?

One of the reasons why I want to be so on top of my homework this week is because I will be visiting the lovely Katie in the cities, and hopefully seeing one of my many favorite uncles. I will be leaving my little cave behind because of the special occasion of Katie's birthday, and I really don't want to have to worry about getting homework done at some point when I come back.  So, there is the dilemma I was talking about. But I noticed that I would need my brain to finish my homework. It seems my brain has run off to a tropical place with a beach and palm trees, so that won't happen for a while. Oh boy!
