'Tis a beautiful day!

I missed my Aesthetics class, but IN THE NAME OF LITERARY APPRECIATION - thus, 'tis ok.

Much to do - what about you?

So I was looking back at one of my first online journals today, and I came across this quiz. I've decided to "retake" the quiz so the answers can be compared. I originally did the quiz during June of 2003. It's been awhile. Bolded bands are "yes".

Somehow I gathered up this great idea last night to go to bed relatively early, as you may remember from my previous post, and that great idea showed great results: this morning I had a lot of energy and did not snort or orally take any caffeine pills, and further I did not take adderall or ritalin (until later in the day when I wanted a boost in ( Read more... )
