apathy & nerds like me...

Apathy. Midterm boredom. I hate when I get this way - it's always a bad sign for things to come. The semester is only halfway complete, I feel like I have a ton to do, and I keep trying to find ways to put it all off (like posting here).

Other People: "Shut up."

See what I mean?
