My computer at home is virtually unusable right now, and will be so, I fear, until somebody either reloads our Windows OS or finds its product identification number. In the meantime I'll be reading all my e-mail and friends' journals, and updating my own journal, from the computers at the Toronto Reference Library. In a way it's a blessing: it'll keep me from wasting time browsing the Net and encourage my writing to be more spontaneous (i.e. I'll have no MS Word to save well-ruminated entries). I was planning to do exactly this anyway, but as I know from experience it rarely hurts me to have a little push.
I was planning to go out to-day to take in more of the Doors Open Toronto event that's been happening this week-end, but I've decided instead to hang out at the library and perhaps attempt some reading. The three building tours that I took yesterday were a bit disappointing, and besides, I'm tired of feeling guilty all the time for procrastinating over my homework and in so doing wasting money that isn't mine. I'm a worrier by nature, so having such a sword of Damocles hanging over my head makes peace of mind even more elusive for me than usual. Plus, I'm getting bored of living vicariously through what my friends write about their lives, and I've known for a while that the more I read and know about my curriculum, the more fascinating and less daunting it becomes.
I'll try to keep a daily record of what I do and think here, and though some or even most days it may be mundane and plodding (This entry, case in point!), the practise should benefit me, even if nobody else reads it. Now here's hoping that I've haven't timed out before I press the button to submit this. :)
