The “final” hour

too tired to study

I tend to get a tremendous urge to write whenever I have finals and exams looming overhead. It’s also a time where I suddenly find motivation to clean (particularly small nooks, crannies, and high shelves), write love letters, watch movies, make intricate recipes with exotic ingredients, and re-arrange drawers. It is a really wonderful feeling to reach final exams, because it means classes are finished, I get to sleep in, and I am just hours away from being done (in this case, for the whole freaking summer). But it’s also a time when resistance digs its claws in, and unnatural motivation must be summoned for each study hour.  Freedom and relaxation are so close I can taste it, why would I want to study?

I don’t have a recipe for success to handle the ants-in-your-pants-jumping-out-of-your-skin for summer situation, unfortunately. If I did, I probably wouldn’t be writing this at all and I would be studying for statistics. What I can say though, which actually works for me, is that the best thing to do is to honor the intense desire to be finished, and let that fuel you through finals. You can’t really fight it, resistance is futile. But by giving in to the joy at the end of the road, that can charge you through all of the reading, writing, and studying that must occur in order to be done.

With that, I am back to the books.
