Stoney Discoveries

Well, as any college student knows, exam week is here. I've completed two of my four. I say "completed" because I'm not entirely sure I passed the Organic Chemistry I exam. But I fucking blew my Analytical Physics exam out of the water just now. I don't know how in the fuck it happened. I really don't.

I've been struggling through physics this whole semester because I got behind and stopped doing the homework. When I went to class, I was totally lost and had no clue what my professor was even writing on the board. It should never have gotten to that point, but I've learned my lesson. (Hopefully for the last God damn time.) Anyway, I was kind of uneasy about the exam prior to taking it since I had gotten so far behind and had so much to learn/study in so little time. Because, yes, I am the poster child for Procrastination.

I told myself I'd study this morning before the exam. THIS MORNING BEFORE THE EXAM. Kids start studying weeks in advance for their exams and I study the morning of. Jesus Christ. I may need more help than anticipated. Well of course I didn't get up when I first needed to... eight o'clock rolled around before I could even motivate myself to wake up. But this is where things get weird. There was a tiny bit of green left in the bong. Oh yeah, baby, I hit that. It wasn't enough to get me "high" but it was just enough to buzz. All of a sudden I got super productive. I started instantaneously planning what I was going to do, how I was going to do it and in what order. I turned on the shower to heat up, and while it heated, I flipped on the coffee maker to make coffee while I'm in the shower! Genius. I was making use of every second I had! Then came the studying...

Before I even cracked a book, I packed Marissa (yes, that's my baby in the sexy blue) with a little bit of dank and smoked just enough to get myself to a [2]. At that moment, every physics problem became the most interesting thing! I wanted to find the acceleration of the block down the rough incline! And I did! I was so persistent that I solved every problem I had time for. I killed it. I don't know what happened, but it was awesome.

So I was thinking...

You know how I've said that being high helps living in the moment? (If I haven't, pretend.) Well let me add on to that and also say that it allows you to focus more on anything you want. Think about it. When you're high, you only focus on one thing. I happen to fall to the dark side faster than my companions, so hunger tends to be my focus. But it can be anything, right? What if I made it my school work? Hold on, I might be on to something...

I'm actually very high at this very moment. And I'm typing faster than I usually would. The thoughts are flowing easier, and I find that typing them out is no longer a chore but a pattern of muscle memory that is innate. I mean, shit, I'm sitting next to a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's and a half-full bong pack. But I was so focused, I continued to write.

Nom nom nom What, you think I'd mention that Jr. BC without taking a bite? You're crazy. (If you don't click that link, I'll be upset.)

I think I may have stumbled on something incredibly amazing. Seriously. I'm going to continue this high-studying and see what happens. Thought: Do I need to be high to take it? Confession: I was when I destroyed my exam this morning.

It's 4:20 somewhere...
