Finals Week: Off to a poor start.

I'm in the library right now supposedly studying for my science and theology final tomorrow night, but I'm finding it harder and harder to read through the chapters and make my outline. It won't be a terrible exam, we have the questions already and we get to make an outline for each of them. There's even an extra credit question that the class was given to think about ahead of time. It should only take me a few hours to write up the outlines and then I can head back home or over to the art studio if I feel like it, but right now I can barely get myself motivated to do anything. It's such a nice day outside that I would rather be playing some frisbee with the Hebrew Friend out in the sun, but I have to get this done otherwise it will be tomorrow night before I know it and I'll be in trouble.

Being in the library right now really makes me want to take a nap. It might be the climate change from coming in to a cold library from the warm outdoors or the fact that it's very, very quiet on the second floor and inviting to just lie my head down on the desk and close my eyes. I've been in here since this morning and all I've done so far is write my name and date in a Word document and click through Stumbleupon. I hate finals week because everything else that I didn't care about all semester suddenly seems more interesting or more important. Being trapped in the library leaves me open to distractions and the thoughts floating around in my head and those thoughts suck.

UPDATE: Had to get out of the library since I wasn't actually doing anything productive. Moved to the quiet Starbucks in the hopes that overpriced coffee drinks and gas usage would keep me settled and motivated for a little while.
