Things I should not do:
-put a mug of water near me when I'm doing calligraphy. I completely forgot I put it there until I stuck the pen into it to wash it off *facepalm*

-put off doing physics. I love the subject, actually, I just hate the stupid assignments. Especially the !@#% graphs.

Things I need to do:

I swear that the buses decide to leave just as soon as you enter the station. My friend and I, who take the same bus, automatically sprint for the bus if it's in the station at the time, regardless of whether or not it appears to be leaving.

Oh, and if I had my druthers about buses--I'd love to have some kind of GPS system that could track where ( Read more... )

I have the greatest admiration for the people who faithfully post everyday. It amazes me that they can continually think of new things to write eloquently or humorously about--especially humor.
