Study Buddy FAIL

So Marcus offered to come help me study for my anatomy final tomorrow. Sweet, right?

Study Buddy FAIL

What actually happened: I opened my textbook, he pulled out his sketchpad to ‘keep me company,’ and somehow three hours disappeared into thin air. I learned absolutely nothing about the circulatory system but I can now tell you that Marcus makes this adorable little crease between his eyebrows when he’s concentrating really hard on a drawing.

Studying going great as you can see

This is me pretending to study while actually just watching him sketch. He draws these random little cartoon characters and gives them backstories. Tonight’s character was apparently a ninja turtle who works in accounting. I cannot make this stuff up.

Study session status: failing spectacularly

His sketches vs my anatomy notes. Guess which one’s more interesting

By the time we realized how late it was, my highlighters were still capped and my notes were exactly where I’d left them three hours earlier. But honestly? Worth it. Sometimes the best studying happens when you’re not studying at all. Plus now I have excellent motivation to actually crack these books tomorrow morning because YIKES this test is going to be brutal.

Marcus left around 11 with a ‘good luck tomorrow!’ and a hug that lasted maybe two seconds longer than a friend hug. I’m definitely failing anatomy but I’m pretty sure I’m passing whatever this is.
