Study Sessions and Napkin Art

Marcus came over tonight to “help me study” for my anatomy final. I should have known better.

Study Sessions and Napkin Art

This is him being helpful - completely absorbed in drawing some intricate design on a napkin while my textbook sits abandoned. He says drawing helps him think, and that his thinking helps me think. I’m not sure that’s how studying works, but I’m not complaining.

Anatomy textbook: ignored. Napkin art: fascinating.

We lasted about twenty minutes before we got completely sidetracked talking about everything except the cardiovascular system. He showed me his napkin masterpiece and I showed him the diagram I was supposed to be memorizing. Guess which one was more interesting?

Evidence of our very productive study session.

Three hours later, I know exactly zero more about anatomy than when he arrived, but I do know that Marcus thinks better with a pen in his hand and that his concentrated face is ridiculously cute.

Finals week stress level: officially abandoned.

Finals week officially abandoned in favor of whatever this is. My study group is going to kill me, but some things are more important than memorizing bone names. Right?
