Beat the Faith Roll.

I dunno... I heard an "I don't care"-ish kind of attitude today... Not good. Not good at all actually. Maybe I should do my job as an annoying little punk and replace that negativity with something positive. Harp harp harp on the academics. As we should be doing. But uhh... Yeah. I'm slipping. I have my weeks all mapped out and such... The work's right in front of me, but I've yet to dive in. Let's see... How are my tactics holding up... Well, I've got allies. Or something. People sucking up my time and attention. And then all this other environmental garbage like people asking me to do stuff or suck up more time. But no. I must be steadfast. There are only three threats this semester, and they will be handled elegantly, gracefully, and masterfully, if that's a word. I dunno... A threat is a lot to think about. But sometimes... I feel... I dunno. Recently I just had this flash. A rational flash... What if I was to remove a threat from the field... It would certainly make the battle easier... But it would make life so much more boring. And I do mean that. I know what it is to have and have not. Is it worth continuing on a road with no time-sucker worthy of my attention... Certainly worthy. Many times over worthy. Heartbeat worthy. But is that the most rational thing to do now? Is it the most tactical? Three threats. Two threats and a permanent damper on my Brave. Three threats. I dunno, I guess I'll take it all one day at a time, because that's what I promised myself.
