I am reading a book that is not for school while halfheartedly circling my TOK assignment. I am gazing out the window and pondering the fly that has been in my room all day, climbing on my screen. I am listening to the original score of Star Wars ep. IV.

I ought to be doing my biology reading guide, finishing my TOK assignment, writing college and CAS essays and my EE, researching for my theatre and psychology projects, assembling materials for my biology IA, finishing my math assignment, preparing for the SAT...

But instead I am reading a book and looking out the window.

I am torn. I can't decide whether this is a step in the right or in the wrong direction.
