...procrastination skillz, that is. And I'm sharpening them right now. I'm supposed to be working on the last of my stuff for Dr. Becker, and I'm about halfway through, but I keep getting distracted. By choice. :P ( Read more... )

This afternoon I was feeling really icky and sick to my stomach so I came home a little early to try and take a little break and hopefully get to feeling better (which I think I have). So I came home and I found a smallish package leaning up against my door. I wasn't expecting anything from eBay, so my curiosity was piqued. I picked it up and ( Read more... )

I can't believe I just sat here and wrote an entire 12+ page paper in four hours. It doesn't even really feel like it was four hours. I was sitting here staring at a blank page in Word, completely unmotivated to write, when all of a sudden I must have been struck by some kind of mysterious motivation because I just started writing didn't really ( Read more... )

Well I now have only four papers left to grade for COM 143. I had set my mind to finishing them tonight, and I would have, but I didn't have enough grade sheets. :( So I have four to grade during the class on Thursday, then I'll be completely done with them. I just alphabetized them all, which is a major pain in the butt. And they don't stack ( Read more... )

Apparently it's storming pretty bad somewhere in this county, as I keep getting warning messages to my phone, and now there's a tornado warning...but it's sunny outside here. I can see blue skies and everything, there's barely any wind, and absolutely no rain. Weird. Hopefully wherever the tornado is, everything will turn out okay ( Read more... )

Well, I guess not really oppressed, but I do feel like I'm stuck doing a bunch of things I can't stand just to please people that I'm really starting to dislike. I'm already sick of grading papers for 143 and I only have about a third of them. But I'm about halfway through what I do have so that's good. I just hope if I get done first that doesn ( Read more... )

One would think I should feel invigorated after a nice brisk walk outside on such a sunny day, but instead, I'm sitting here yawning...heh. I guess doing all of the work in the library I did earlier today used up all of my energy. I really dislike part of my assistantship that involves going to the library and counting articles in Reader's Guides ( Read more... )

...which I really needed. I feel so much better now. Very relaxed, which actually makes me want to go to bed right now...heh. I finally used one of the English bath cubes I got in my Christmas stocking at Nana's and it definitely made my whole body feel really, really soft. My palms are so soft right now I can hardly type. :P ( Read more... )

Well, after four solid days of sickness, today I think I'm down to just the cough, which I have to say is still very annoying. I can't walk to the bus stop without getting winded and feeling like I ran the whole way there, then having a coughing fit while standing there and after getting on the bus. It's kind of embarrassing really...but there's ( Read more... )

This is weird. This morning and earlier this afternoon I was the sickest I have felt in a long time. Then by this evening I started feeling marginally better. Now my nose is almost completely cleared out and I could even taste my dinner. I've still been lounging around, except for a quick trip to CVS for a thermometer and tissues and a few ( Read more... )
