I'm a terrible student. I also get distracted really easily. I couldn't care less about micropolitics or 18th century British literature. My favorite part of my Cuban-American Lit class is the episode of "I Love Lucy" we watched last week, and the discussion that followed it. I enjoy the books, poems and essays we read in my classes, but I hate writing papers on them. I'm a senior, but most definitely on the 4+ plan. I have no idea if I want to go to graduate school or not. I have zero post-graduation plans. I realize that very little of what I'm currently studying will apply to whatever future career I will have. I think that my future diploma is in reality a glorified receipt for a $30,000+ bill.

It amazes me that after a lifetime of being a student, I'm still such a terrible one.
