The mind, how does it work? I constantly tell myself to finish my homework, but I keep putting it off for the next day. “I have school tomorrow” I say to myself, and my mind tells me, “Don’t worry about it, you can wake up early and finish it then”. After wasting the day, doing god knows what; I set an hourly alarm from 3AM to 6AM. “This will do the trick” my mind tells me and I fall asleep in my usual time, around 2AM. If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that my mind loves to screw me over. Every time I woke up to the alarm, my mind tells me to sleep till the next one rings. What a mistake that was. The next time I opened my eyes, it was well past 10 and I was late. I understood then, that my mind was the Serpent and I was Eve. Well, I’m a guy so should it be Adam? In any case, my mind tells me it’s pointless to go to school today. “HAHA!” I tell myself. “Do you really think I’m that stupid?”. “But what about the homework due today?”. “Don’t worry about it, I have the perfect plan”, I sneer. Rushing to the subway, and securing a seat, I open my bag to take out my homework. Surprise surprise, I then realized that all my books were at home, waiting to be done. The moral of the story? Check your bag before leaving.
