Mondays
were not a day I was meant to be productive.
The real problem is that I get out of class at 6, and for all practical purposes don't get home till around 6:30 give or take, then its time to make dinner. And usually I want to kick back for a while after I make dinner. Which would be fine, but I like having this cushion or a few hours between doing productiveness and schooltime. So by the time I eat and do my normal goofing off it's already getting late.
Well, that's kinda true, but not entirely. Today my bigger problem was that I had more attractive ways to goof off than usual.
You see, for Christmas my parents just gave me money, and yesterday I decided it was time to spend some of it. There's a nice backpack from ThinkGeek that I wanted, so I bought it... and of course while I was ordering I picked up a few other items that I wanted.... but not everything on my wish list...
... my formerly very small wishlist...
So I basically wasted most of my day looking at the entirety of ThinkGeek for what I want at that site. But I have a semi good explanation!
Today at lunch I decided to special order a calzone, which they said would take about fifteen minutes... and about 20 minutes later they told me they had accidentally burned my calzone and they would give me a non burned one for free, if I didn't mind waiting. This was during my two hour in-between class period, so I of course didn't mind. But I ended up not getting food till like 40 minutes into my 2 hour break. Since I tend to eat alone, I wanted to entertain myself while I was eating, and it occurred to me that the geek points that I have accumulated through my various orders on ThinkGeek could be used in buy two get one free t-shirt deals... so I naturally decided to look through all the shirts on the website to see what I would want, and just place them on my wishlist for future reference.
... and then when I was done eating I still wasn't done with looking at the shirts, and I wanted to finish up with that or course. Unfortunately, by the time I was done it was already 20 after, a mere 30 minutes till I normally walk to my next class, so it was useless to attempt to focus and read for class during such a short amount of time. Ergo, I looked at other stuff on the site.
And I would be repeating myself to talk about when I got home today, and it was late and I didn't wanna do anything like every Monday... but not only did I not want to do anything, I was also on a mission... I wanted to look through all the stuff at ThinkGeek and have a complete wishlist of stuff I want there.
Then Jared suggested looking at the stuff at Jinx too, so I made a wishlist for there as well. It's not nearly as big as my ThinkGeek one tho. That one has two thousand dollars of awesome everything on it. Tho admittedly, I want a lot of that stuff more than some of the other stuff on there... but theres over 60 items, so of course that's the case.
Oh, also, I can't wait till someone I'm close to has kids. There's so much excellent geek stuff for small children. I wish I had someone to buy it for. Tho it seems theres a good possibility that the parents of said children would buy those things instead... but they'll probably be too poor from buying diapers and stuff... so... I dunno.
Oh yea... I also wasted time making a pretty colorful version of my school schedule to post on the corkboard in my room so my roommate can see. And while I was working on that I felt bad for not writing a real entry in my LJ, as was one of my objectives for the day.
And now I have. Even tough I didn't talk about any of the things I wanted to talk about.
I wanted to talk about how a had this weird dream with a presidential candidate in it... but I don't remember it as well now. And I think I was gonna make some comment on how the only thing I hear about Ron Paul is that I should Google him. In fact, that was written all over my school in chalk today.
And I'm gonna stop this now. At least for tonight. Lately I've been kinda sad that I don't use this thing as much as I used to, so I think I might start to remedy that in upcoming weeks. I do rather enjoy rambling about my day into this thing. At least this way I know I'm not boring anyone who doesn't wanna waste time...
Which is what I'm doing right now. I should be doing stuff that moves me towards bed. I do need to be productive tomorrow to make up for today.
