-Katie Wilson calls me while I'm listening to "If Only" by Nouveaux and thinking about Marc and Covenant to see if I can play with her at the Flying M Thursday (which I don't think I can because of work) and she is with Marc.
-I woke up at 5am this morning to work on a homework assignment I'd been putting off. I set the timer on my coffee maker to go off at five so that I would get up and not be wasteful. I worked until 12:30pm. I drank two large mugs of strong coffee, a glass of water, two glasses of cranberry juice, and ate two pieces of toast, a biscotti, and a pack of peanut butter crackers.
-I spent about 9 hours doing that assignment today. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have graduated. It was alright though. I always work better when I wake up early and give the work a new day, rather than staying up late with all that happened during the day.
-I think this is how I'll write someday when it's all I do. I'll wake up early, let nothing else worry me but the sun rising, the coffee brewing, the jazz jazzin' (I listened to jazz for 6 hours today), and the stories will write themselves. I'm sure of it.
-I've been telling people lately that I don't let homework get me down. I haven't been turning it in on a regular basis, but it's been hitting me hard. When I have late assignments piling up, it drains me. Every day that goes by takes a little something away from me. When I do anything other than that assignment with my free time, I can't enjoy it as much as before. When I sit down to read, I feel guilty. Food doesn't taste as good. This could be why I've had a rough semester; I haven't been able to enjoy the things I love. Homework has been getting me down!
-I'm about halfway through Sometimes A Great Notion. It's a good book, and I've been reading on a regular basis, almost daily, but it's long. And not only that, it's more difficult to get through then maybe a... John Grisham book.
-Less than three weeks until graduation. My family is coming up, it should be fun. But the point is, that's soon.
-Assignments I have to do in the next three weeks: write five short stories (good ones too, because I hold myself to unrealistic standards), write two more major papers, and give ten minute presentation. No biggie. Just as long as I don't wait and do it late.
-P.S. I made another casserole and it was delicious. I'm the only one that's eaten any besides Phil, and he only ate it because he was hungry. He doesn't even like the taste of it.
-Oh and also, here are a few more words for you: uncertainty, graduation, sleep, work, write, eat, laugh, plan, live, apply, deploy, imply, decoy, dirty dishes, messy room, loads of laundry, lava lamp, memories, bible, bird, coffee, music, summer, hockey, and finally, vanilla.
-What I'm lookin' like these days, considering the circumstances:
