Too Many Important Things to Do

Who would be crazy enough to lock something away at the top of a four hundred and fifty foot obelisk? Indiana Jones springs to mind. That’s the sort of thing that he would do, if he wanted to keep something extremely valuable secure. Not many people would think of looking at the top of a huge obelisk, never mind have the guts to climb the pyramidion and risk a sheer drop of over four hundred feet to certain death. Come to think of it, by all accounts Baron Northgate was quite an adventurer. In some circles he would even have been called a tomb-raider, much like Indiana Jones. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that he hid something up there. But why leave clues? Maybe it was some sort of test, some sort of initiation for someone that he hoped would succeed him, if he died suddenly. Only somebody brave and relatively intelligent could retrieve his hidden treasure. But this is all speculation, I need to find Northgate Hall!

Today I cannot settle to the thought of a day filled with lectures - I have too many important things to do. Anyway, I have studying down to a fine art now, or at least the type of study needed to pass exams. With my photographic memory anything that I read is instantly memorised, word for word. At school anything said by the teachers in class I remembered effortlessly. When the exams finally came, I was more than ready. At University a great deal more self-motivation is required, and you had to start thinking a lot more for yourself. This is where the tutorials come in very handy. You can bounce ideas around and get a lot of feedback from the tutor and your fellow students. With a brain like mine though (sorry to boast), a few missed lectures are neither here nor there.
