productiveness feels good

Those of you who know me might say that i am at times, lazy. However this is not the case, i am simply selectively active and as of late, i've been on somewhat of a "productive streak" if you will.

This all started last week on tuesday chemistry lab. Usually, i'll do the lab and wait till next day to get all the facts and figures from my various lab partners and what not. But this Tuesday, something came over me, i said to myself "Gabe, why don't you just copy down the data now and then you won't have to worry tomorrow". And so i did just that and that night, i went home and did the whole thing. Next morning comes and HELL YESSSSS, i was able to ride the bus and get through lunch without asking once to copy the lab, as a matter of fact, i was asked quite a few times for someone else to copy mine, and it felt phenomenal.

Now i was hooked on productiveness, wednesday, i did the physics homework in my home and thursday i did chemistry homework at my home, friday did physics work at home and today, i write this after completing another set of physics homework. But homework aside, i decided to put ever so little effort into my other subjects by paying mild attention in class and i must say, my grades have skyrocketted.

So here i am, and what is the only thing that my fantastical mind can think of is how this whole thing relates to Cross Country. See, during this season, i brought my time down from 21:39 to 19:33 after i realized that it really was all mental and once i put in the tiniest smigeon of effort, i would be better.

The point of this tirade is that, cross country f*cks you up deep deep down in that part of the mind that talks to you when you're all alone in bed.
