Rather Zen
I think I am getting dangerously close to very unproductive apathy, but the sheer amount of FML lately has, to be honest, run over me like a truck, and now left me merely bemused.
When you have a midterm 4-5 page essay to write for Thursday, which involves lots of reading and mental headdesking, think of the most unproductive thing you could do instead, and you will have guessed what I did.
If you said spending half an hour de-seeding a pomegranate, then you would be correct.
Don't look at me like that, it's very therapudic. The Ipod was a nice accompaniment while I picked the hell out of that little fruit. And now I have a container of seeds in the fridge for my munching enjoyment.
The GRE lady still hasn't called me back, but at the current moment, I'm reading fairy tales, partially in prep for this year's nano that I really should not even be attempting, and am not too horribly bothered by this.
I suspect something will come along to knock me back out of my happy little zen bubble, but I'm enjoying it for now. I have another recommender squared away, will hopefully have the last one needed by Wednesday, and then, if everybody will stop burying me in essays, this weekend I will sit down and knock out a statement of academic purpose.
And, apparently, write a musical about British enclosure. Maybe it's just better if you don't ask about that one.
And, just because, throw out ideas for halloween costumes. I think we're going to actually be in public this year, and because of my upbringing, this mandates dressing up. But I don't know what to dress up as. So, let your creative minds work. Even if I can't use the idea, it will probably still entertain me.
Okay, I'm really going to go read about the realm of England now. I swear.
