This boy is finding a way to be obsessed with Chinese art hisory, or else...

In order for me to graduate, there are only two requirements:

1. Pass the super-easy and almost mindlessly intuitive (for me anyway) computer science class.
and
2. Pass Chinese art history.

So I'm a bit worried about number 2 on the list there. You see, it's awful to say this, but I just can't bring myself to care enough about art history. It's boring; just like art history-only majors. (Exception is made to art history majors who also make art, or do some other cool and fancy stuffs for their other major.) Honestly, I can't stand dates and names and slide comparisons and the intellectual academia of it all.

Honestly, I DO love it when the slide of a transcendental ancient Chinese painting goes up and my jaw drops. I love those moments.

But now, it's dreaded mid-term time. Tuesday. 6pm.

The thing is: I tend to invest my time in the work I care about most... and since I haven't cared about any of my work recently (except silly things like the Dickie's Donuts obsession), little Chinese art history mid-term doesn't even have a leg to stand on.

In the past, I have leveled hardcore A's and B's at such daunting challenges. The tried and true Tim solution: abandon all friends, responsibilities, and sleep for 48 hours to focus and cram cram cram pointless art and academia into my head. The problem is: it seems there's no way I can make that completely happen this time. This mid-term is seriously important, and I'm worried...
