Yes, you are right, I do have several essays to write and an exam to study for. And yet I find myself inextricably drawn, as per usual, towards things which do not remotely involve what I should be doing.

Prodigies have a way of making me feel inferior as quickly as it takes butter to melt on a Riverside sidewalk in August. I have never tried that, but I assume it's similarly fast. At any rate, it's a heck of a lot faster since I outgrew the legal age of childhood and hence lost all chances of adding 'child prodigy' to my resume. Damn labels.
His name is Pedro Laurenco and he's been designing 'professionally' since the age of 12. I am sure it helps that his parents are designers, but still, he's 19 now and cites as the influences for his most recent collection, which has been making waves bigger than those in Farah Fawcett's hair, "Diana the huntress, and also the architect Oscar Niemeyer", according to the Huffington Post. What is this nonsense? Let's go with 'genius' (or 'pretentious douchebag' if he's not nice). And as if being that talented and culturally savvy weren't enough, he's Brazilian. Which might actually explain a lot...
Me and my 20-year-old self have literally not stepped foot outside once today. I heard it was hot, but have been unable to verify this personally. However, to my unending credit, I have changed my 'outfit' several times today. Striped white/blue underwear AND a various assortment of tee-shirts, sweaters, and a satin nightgown from Kmart? This might be the classiest Ides of March, ever.
