OK, its late at night and I'm getting bored shitless doing the same friggin financial accounting questions over and over just for tutorial marks. Before this semester began I told myself I would be a lot more diligent than usual. I would attend all the lectures and I would keep up on all my units. But I just can't do it. I don't know what it is. I'm usually a pretty lazy guy, but only if I don't really care about it. So I think thats it. I'm just not motivated. I can accept that I need a bachelor of commerce in order to be properly recognized in the business world, but I really can't be stuffed with studying anymore. And its not because what I'm studying is boring either, I'm just over studying full stop. Everytime i reach for a pen and paper to do my tute questions I think about all the "better" things I could be doing. Like playing a video game, playing a board game, seeing friends, watching movies, shooting hoops, playing tennis... the list goes on.
The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that in a few months time there will be a decent time for holidaying. But even then I'm planning to be working nearly full-time so I don't know where I'm going to get all the time that I want. It probably doesn't exist. I reckon we should be allowed to retire at the age of 20 and enjoy life while we're in our prime. Then by the age of 50, we'd get bored of having free time and we can begin a stable full-time job. When you're that age any type of work is great to distract you from all of life's problems: Your hip needs to be replaced again, your heart medication is clashing with your sleeping pills, you can't get it up anymore and your hair is falling out (from your head, of course. The hairs on your back and in your ears are likely to be as lush as ever). And then, when you've accomplished all you need to accomplish in your career, you're dead. Sounds like a pretty sweet plan to me.
But I digress.
The only reason I'm writing this is because the alternative is getting some honest work done for uni. And that is exactly my problem. This semester it feels like I'm allergic to my workload. Hell it feels like that every semester, but the allergy seems to be getting worse rather than better. Perhaps if I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life (like running a medium-sized hotel or something like that) then I would be more motivated. Until then, bring on the early retirement plan.
