On Procrastination

Saturday is my only day off in a week. I go to school Monday through Thursday and I work Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. This has led to a rather childlike love of Saturdays. You know, where the world seemed all bright and shiny because it was the start of the weekend, people. No school! Going out with friends! Granted, it's a more adult (see also, rather teenager-y) version, but still. (No school! No work! Sleeping in!) So, I planned to actually get some work done today, ironically enough.

I have three assignments due in the next week or so. They're not, as far as I can tell, the most strenuous or time consuming assignments, but they do need to be done. And since I had the whole day to myself, I figured I'd make some juice, pour some cereal, and get my ass in gear.

That was ten hours ago.

Here's how my day went:

8:00 a.m. Wake and go upstairs. Let dogs out to eat and pee. Go back to bed.

11:00 a.m. Wake groggily from odd dream involving cake and cheese. Note time, decide to get up and get going. Put on bra, as sleep topless, and go upstairs.

11:01 a.m. Note presence of strange men working on stone on house. Note absence of shirt. Hurriedly throw on boyfriend's hoodie so as not to provide free show for strange men.

11:05 a.m. Turn on TV and eat breakfast. Lament lack of quality television available late on Saturday mornings. Tell self will eat and then hit the books.

12:00 p.m. Try to convince self to move from comfortable chair.

12:10 p.m. Use cat sleeping on lap as excuse to delay work.

2:00 p.m. Engage in short lived insult exchange with idiot former classmate. Remember how much fun feeding internet trolls can be.

2:30 p.m. Turn on Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Version). Swear to do homework. Fail. Miserably.

6:00 p.m. Sister comes home. Do barn chores, bring horses in.

7:00 p.m. Watch Hell's Kitchen for second time.

9:00 p.m. Turn on The Two Towers (Extended Version). Swear to do homework. Instead lament missing boyfriend as he lives 1000 km away.

10:00 p.m. Decide to update blog.

10:30 p.m. Wonder when stopped using modifiers when typing.

So yes, clearly I lead an amazingly exciting life. Don't you wish it was yours? I'll probably hammer out those assignments at about 2 a.m. Sunday night/Monday morning. Because I'm good like that.

Sanity, where art thou...
