I am avoiding studying

I don't want to study, really! I so really don't want to study, I mean I really, really, don't want to study - truly. I mean, who wants to study systematic theology when the dog needs walking/the grocery shopping needs to be done/there's always laundry/the bathrooms need cleaning/I want to do some gardening/I need to update my facebook photos/I need to watch the grass grow....

I've got a headache just trying to figure out all the ways I can avoid it! Though I really do need to study - you see, we have a midterm in a few weeks, and we are going to be gone for a week of that. Do I really want to be reading about Christian Doctrine while swinging through the trees of a Costa Rican Rainforest like Tarzan? nope! (interesting image though) I need to be a real grown up and get it done now. I just won't be able to do it the night before like in the old days. Well, I wasn't able to do it then either, I just did it all the night before - and got the appropriate results to show for it!

Now I really want to do well. I have been doing well which is really strange for me, I'm much more used to failing exams and retaking them than I am to passing, and passing well. So I guess there's a pride issue this time, which is a sin, so maybe by not studying I am breaking the power of that pride? - Ha! now that's good! What a theory! I could probably preach a sermon on that... I wonder if anyone will believe me...
