I feel myself turning into one of those people who doesn't make schoolwork a priority, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's just... everything works out in the end, so why put in the effort? I know I mustn't tell myself these things, but I say them anyway.

I always think that there are times when school is a priority, and there are times when it isn't.

There cannot be anything that has always top priority, there have to be exceptions or the system is too unmovable and cannot bend to the changing circumstances.

...if that makes any sense?

Well, yes, I know nothing can be a priority all the time -- I mean, if my house was burning down and my mother was smothered in her blankets but I said "Oh no! My math folder!" that would obviously be too much. I guess from that perspective, you would express my current sentiment as that the general priority I've been giving to schoolwork has been falling to a lower degree than I think it should be?

*nod* ...but I think that is normal, too? idk, but priorities shift from time to time, it might go back to how it was before sooner or later.

I'm working out of being one of those people.

Not because I have any real interest in/dedication to my education or anything--it's just that my boyfriend thinks he's a better student than I am, which is currently true, but in declaring such, he has challenged me. I have accepted the challenge and made it my duty to get better grades in everything, just to prove I can.

...Not that I'm doing a very good job, or anything. For example: last night, video games won out over studying for this afternoon's test. :D
