Getting stuff done

I consider myself a procrastinator and a pessimist (obviously I'm a pessimist since I only pointed out that negative things). Point being, I actually did my taxes early this year! got 'em done yesterday. Feels good, since I didn't owe anything but managed to squeak out a tiny +$47 from the fed.

And I finished my homework early today (just now) instead of finishing at 1 or 2 in the morning like usual. I had to skip some classes to do it, but it was worth it. Sometimes I think I'm a good student for going to all my classes regularly, but as long as I turn stuff in and take tests well, is it really necessary? I usually put off my homework, because just listening and learning in class is enough stress and i'm usually sick of the subject by the end. By skipping class, I can just do my homework and study as I go, which is working out better for me since I learn better by processing textbook info than by professors speeding through it. Unfortunately when you have a poor textbook, its a lot harder (see my textbook blog).

As it turns out though, skipping class once or twice a week is contributing to greater health and productivity, so why should I make myself go so i can feel like a good student.

Now, if I can just get my power supplies to work for my senior design ...
