midterm

i have an exam tomorrow, i should be studying. but instead i'm sitting here, headphones one, making a minidisc compilation.

it's a very important exam, and i need to do well as this semester hasn't been successful so far.

but i can't shake the notion that these songs are so much more important. they mean more than a good mark in one exam ever could... how can i study when instead i can be here, thrilled, shivers up the spine, transported -- that's what i'm looking for. escape from the tedium of studying, from the banality of life here. i could revise and go and do the test like a good little student, but instead i'll lie on the ground, eyes shut, headphones one, hearing probably being permanently damaged, in a totally different realm.
