Why am I such a bad student?

I know that I AM a bad student, but I don't understand why it's so hard for me to change! I wouldn't even know where to start. When I say I'm a bad student, I simply mean that I am not good at disciplining myself. Like for instance, right now I am in my USC classroom. My laptop video camera is on, people can see me, and I am blogging. Tsk tsk.

I acknowledge that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I think I'm pretty good at faking it. I mean, I've made it this far, haven't I? And this is just a side note, but at my bridal shower my mom asked the question,"What does Jeff think your most attractive quality is?" This was during the game where I was supposed to pop a grape in my mouth for every wrong answer. But this answer I knew. He thinks my most attractive quality is my intelligence. Poor Jeff. But I think by now he knows it's all a sham ;).

But intelligence is very different than being a good student. I'm already worried about our poor children. Jeff and I are both of an average intelligence, I might be a little lower on the scale and Jeff is quite a bit higher (I'm crossing my fingers that they will get Jeff's mathematic abilities!), but we are pathetic students. We don't like to study, we procrastinate, but we come through, usually, when it comes down to it. I envy those really good students who have the motivation to perform well in school, but to be honest, it just seems like there are much more important things in life.
