My mahogany stained desk is littered with a multitude of diverse objects. On the edge of the desk, a soft braided belt and a black suede eyeglass case mingle quietly with a gaunt stack of papers and a calculator. A pristine calculus text book and a translucent plastic folder filled with school work sit idly at center stage under a spotlight awaiting for my direction. Next to the academic couplet lies a plastic television remote and a corpulent mechanical pencil.

I indecisively glance at the digital clock on the right-hand corner of my blue task bar. 6:41 PM. My fatigued eyes widen, caught totally off guard at how quickly time has passed. The amount of time allotted to complete my work will soon be met, but with work unfinished. Such a lack of productivity... I stare blankly at page 44 of the calculus book, in pursuit of motivation and confidence. I withdraw my body and maroon chair away from the desk to retrieve my half completed homework from my colorful Tokidoki backpack. My petite and taut penmanship of words and numbers on the college ruled notebook paper look like motionless ants in a line from a diminutive distance.

Two tabs are open on my Firefox browser: Youtube and Blogger. An active conversation on AIM is in progress. My Winamp is on continuous play. If I fail my calculus quiz tomorrow, it's my own fault!

This was simply a break from hell.
