Solitary Thursday
This is my first Thursday alone in a while. I thought the snow was going to kill it, but I've only seen flurries. I have too much stuff to do and I'm having trouble starting.
Today I had to go to some really creepy place on Reisterstown Road to get fingerprints and a background check done. I brought plenty of material to keep me amused, but the cutest kids were there that I didn't even want to read Alice in Rapture, Sort Of (quite possibly the most unappealing book I've ever completed). I got out of there, overpaid at Jiffy Lube for an oil change and some other shit they talked me into. The guy complimented my shampoo.. ehhhhhh. I got back and ran to the Education Department for no reason and then to the gym. I've ellipticalled four times this week for 60 minutes each! I think this makes up for breaking my iPod and not keeping track of what I eat. We'll see on Saturday. Oh, and I think I may have talked my way into a new iPod by grossing the "genius" out.. I just realized I told him I sweat all over it. Yuck. Whatever works, though.
I just realized yesterday that my British literature paper on Milton is due on MONDAY. For real. And it should be easy. It's only three pages and just a close reading of a single passage, but I've had this idea in my head for a week or so about comparing "Son" and "sun" and saying stuff about how the "Sun" light is so bound up in faith in God and the Son who are almost the same to Milton and being enlightened means being in the sun and talking to God and stuff, like Adam does while Eve sleeps and lurks in the shade. But I feel like that's too much a formal paper and not what she wants, so I'm picking a pretty good passage, I think. My goal was to have a passage selected for tonight and I did that. I hope I can start writing.
Tomorrow at 9:00 I have to go to the University Health Services to get a tuberculosis test. I'm not too excited about this. I haven't seen a doctor in a long time and I don't know these people and I really only have a small idea of how to get there. It'll be fine. Afterwards, I hope to go to the gym again. I'm taking this week off from the weight room for various reasons: I'm either stagnating or gaining and I just want to lose for a little bit, I need to get something off my mind that I associate with that, and I kind of need the extra time. I think out of those reasons, I only followed through on losing weight. This guy I'll probably never talk to is always on my mind and I'm still swamped with homework.
And that's why I have to stop this and start thinking of a topic for a huge paper that's due the Monday of spring break (WHICH IS SOON). I'm going hiking with Cassandra one day and I can't wait! I need to work and catch up on stuff, too.
