it is currently 11 degress outside.
planned to go to starbucks with jen at about 5am, started defrosting and de-snowing my car at about 450, but there was ice drops molded to my windows. the doors were frozen shut to my car, my windshield wipers frozen to my front windshield, my windows frozen to the doors. defrosted for awhile, then headed downtown.
started outlining my overdue 10 page sociology paper and started writing it around 7am, stayed until 1130 with jen, then drove home because i felt bad that i had basically kidnapped her. (she later insisted that she had gotten more work done than she would have in any other 6 hour period of time. i am proud for being an enabler.)
finished my essay around 1pm, sent it in. sold some old books for $18 in crisp dollar bills, walked to kresge to see professor paden to pick up my cnf portfolio. (she liked all my revisions, especially my yoshi essay, and somehow i had brought that joseph essay up to an A). drove to target to return my heater/coffee maker, bought some more dishwasher soap (dawn hand renewal with olay for only $2.57), drove home and said hello to charlie, let him know i did well in my cnf class despite my lack of motivation throughout the quarter. checked in for my flight tomorrow.
napped from 4-9 (oops), and now i'm cleaning up my place with a beer in hand.
somehow life seems to be looking a little bit more endearing.
i have six packs of kools left. opened one this morning. = i smoked 5 packs since last week tuesday.
studying at starbucks seems to be a much better use of my time than trying to study at home or at the library. call me spoiled, but the library sucks my soul and feeds off my energy. productivity is null.
the other night, i discovered http://www.stevepavlina.com/ while looking up polyphasic sleep cycles. so enlightening. its odd, because most of what mr. steve suggests is what my father does. perhaps there is a correlation. (his article "10 tips for college students" was probably the most effective for me. it had a lot more personal anecdotes of what he did when he was in college and how he managed his time and obligations.)
anyways, must finish cleaning before sleep/more drinking/whatever else i have planned for tonight (fiction party mayhaps?) :)
