Slaves of the mind

OK good today is the 28th. I don't know why that's good, but at least spring is here for the moment. It's so great outside and walking to class was a lot more fun than most other times in the past. So far today my mind has been on many other things besides school. That can be good and bad of course. Good because who really needs to know about most of the stuff that I'm learning about right now anyway, but bad because then I'll score poorly on those ever important exams when finals come around. I guess everything in moderation is good. I probably shouldn't be worried about focusing all the time because sometimes that is just not physically possible (or is it mentally? kind of a toss up there). But at the same time if I just sit in class and 'daydream', I'll never learn anything new to sit back and dream about and instead will go over things that I have already rehashed out in my mind. By that time these thoughts will cause an infection of the brain so to speak and many bad things can occur from this such as depression, anxiety, you name it. It's good to keep the mind fresh and clear and to do that, one must keep learning new concepts, ideas, or whatever. All I know is now that I have one more class left. It will be boring, but I'll do my best to stay physically and mentally focused. Yeah right...
