food:
right now its 10 already and i feel like i havent done anything this evening besides cook a lot. i have spoiled myself with proper nutrition, and now im pretty non-functional without it. i was so ravenous and pissy when i got home, i was really happy id thought ahead and picked up soup from urban herbavore. so having eaten that, i was motivated to cook more, and the whole thing spiralled out of control. also i made special tea blends for tummy aches for me and nicole. (/housewife)
teaching:
i have to email my toefl students because i cancelled class on tuesday, and then get some drawing done. energy beginning to fade, but i think its just dread of teaching tomorrow when i have so much else id rather be doing. its only a three-hour class, but its basically half my day because of the timing. im burnt out, wont be doing this much longer. lucky for me, i dont think they are going to offer the class after this session, so that makes it easier to bow out. they want me to cross train on one of the other tests, but frankly im not prepared to put in the necessary work at the moment. id have to really brush up my math, for one thing.
okay, enough procrastination.
except this:
topic to be considered... why do i procrastinate so much the things i really want to do? i always want to be somewhere other than where i am, doing some other thing. i even go so far as to procrastinate pleasurable activities like drawing by doing things that i dont like. i guess i hold out tthings like drawing as a reward for accomplishing a distasteful but necessary task, but theres a limit to the utility of that behavior. adn sometimes i just procrastinate by writing about my procrastination....
edit: wow, i just made an assload of really mediocre soup. i suck at soup. maybe it can be saved through the addition of yam. in the meantime i have lots of very hearty gruel on my hands.
