things I should change... but probably won't
Staying up late. Last night it was just after two, but lately it's been more like 3 or 4. This is fine when I can sleep in the next day, but 3 days a week I have a 9 am class. And I don't always go. :( And on the days I don't have anything, I sleep in, which just makes it harder to go to bed early. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.
Reading fun books. Often the reason I'm up so late, my fun books are a lovely little escape from the real world (ha!) of college and life. BUT. I'm incredible affected by what I read, and when I'm reading something like, oh, I don't know, the Wheel of Time, I find myself unable to write in my normal fashion. And, lo and behold, when I read a few chapters of literature or modern fiction (especially short stories) I once again become able to write. I'm a writer. I need to write. I need to finish this effing series so I can read some Rushdie! Only a book and a half to go! You know, until the next one comes out.
Watching TV. Also something I do late at night, when I'm awake at nutso hours. Yes, nutso. TV rots your mind!!! And it affects my writing. Damnit.
Drinking soda. This has to happen so that Jena can be a human instead of a giant grump lump, because, once again, she gets little sleep on school nights. If the staying up late stops perhaps the soda drinking can stop, and then I won't become a walrus. A grumpy over-caffeinated walrus. Grr! Tusks and such!
Not writing. Yeah, this needs to not happen. As in, writing needs to happen. Thesis, stuff on here, whatever. I'm a writer. I should be actively writing every day, and I'm not. I'm writing a lot (THESIS!), but it's not enough. I have to prove that these last four years and bajillions of dollars of tuition have not gone to waste!
