on a high, on a high

this is what studying intermittently does to your mind and your eyes. an economics exam on friday that covers a measly four chapters but i pamper myself by studying in front of the computer, read a paragraph then look people up on thefacebook.com, read another paragraph then perhaps read everyone's away messages, read half a paragraph, grumble about my inconsistency, look up sufjan stevens website (i'm fucking seeing him tomorrow). it takes me about 3 hours to finish a chapter, and even at that, i emerge with a spotty knowledge of the material.
