This morning in my Intro. to English Studies class, several students stood up in front of the class and shared their "temptation" poems. I was not one of these students because I didn't do the assignment (I rarely do). Instead I watched "Casablanca", which isn't a decision I regret, but it's one that I feel I make too often: rather than doing homework, I choose to watch a movie. One could argue that since I want to work in movies one day that I'm really not making a bad decision. Will that one viewing of "Casablanca" positively affect how my goals and aspirations materialize (if they do at all)? Also, I love watching movies more than anything else so why not do that? I'll tell me why. I'm paying $4,000 to go to school. Do the work, get the credits then get out. Get it over with.

Priorities:

1. School
2. Movies
3. Writing
4. Leisure reading
5. Black Jack
