So much to do
Reading: Witches Abroad
4 of 23 CSC Modules done.
There are so many options of what to do in a day that it's almost paralyzing. Usually, when I'm between tasks there are two options: Do homework or avoid homework. Now the options are more like this: read a book, read a manga, work on the CSC, work on the URA Paper, learn the guitar, learn the keyboar, go for a walk, play with game maker, work on other game projects, play the mass of old games on the computer, play WoW on the computer, play console games, bother the degu, bother Jamie... you get the idea.
Not having a TV really helps, because there's no default activity that can be maintained for long. Even doing nothing on the computer means running out of webcomics or viable quests eventually.
The first creature prompt was for a Koalaphant. Here it is:

I'm gladly accepting more. If I don't get one for a while I'll write the tentaclephant (Squiderm?) that Jeremy wanted, even though that was just an example I gave.
So this weekend, I read about 250 pages and 1 manga. I also did 4 modules of the Canadian Securities Course, which is somewhere between 1 and 2 university courses in size. It has two exams and uses an entire 600 page textbook, so let's call it two courses. That's 1/3 of a course in a weekend.
As an added bonus, there were baby duckies to be seen (11 of them!), and a surprize check for $300 from my parents for my glasses and eye exam a while ago.
If you've been reading a lot of internet news, you may have noticed more and more stores like this one from CNN Money interview people that have given up driving to work and are taking the train/bus, and are talking about how much money they're saving. In fact, this is the second story in as many days on CNN Money about people not driving. go figure.
It's working.
It's actually working! Gas prices are driving people out of their cars! ^___^
