I can't focus in class, and that makes me productive

As strange a concept as this seems to be, I am going to stick with that. I've been more productive in my classes this year than usual and it's not because I'm finally paying attention. In fact, I'm actually paying less attention than ever. So what in God's name am I doing instead?

This is the part where I say that I've been writing the Great Canadian novel in the back of my lectures, but that, too, would be a lie. What I have been doing, is organizing my homework which, although it doesn't look like much, is actually going to make these last two weeks a living hell, especially because I'm aiming to have all the assignments finished long before the last day of classes because the day before that is my birthday. And goddamnit I will not be writing essays on my birthday.

And so, after I've mapped out all of my essays during class time, done a considerable amount of my research in class, and completely revamped my homework schedule for the next two weeks, I'm now going to be starting to write my essays in class.

Granted, as I write this post in class, I am glad that I actually attend class. I was reminded just now of the proposal for my final paper which is due next Wednesday, which I'd completely forgotten about. So now I have an extra assignment to do.

I need to get to work.
