Kickin' into high gear

Today I think I reached the end of the phase in the prelude to studying I like to call "Productive Procrastination". I call it productive because I believe it is a valid part of my study process. It certainly seems to be a consistent one. It is usually a fairly lengthy period that endures until I have worked myself into a sufficient state of fret and panic that I then move into the actual studying phase. I think this morning, with the help of a conversation with an equally panicked classmate, I crossed the threshold. I then went on to study for 6 hours after school. Not bad. However, I'm hoping that unlike the usual transient adrenaline-rush state, that this one has some staying power. Say about 4 years of staying power. :) Well, maybe at least until Christmas?
