I somehow always manage to cram enough into my Mondays and Tuesdays to fill a sane person's week. Then I become burnt out, and use that as a justification to slack off the rest of the week. Then the cycle continues anew. But I can't complain about having an excuse to finally use the word "anew" in my blog. Woohoo!
I forgot last night that I was supposed to be on duty, then I forgot about a bonus assignment for one of my Econ classes. Fortunately I was able to guilt my friends into picking up food, and even more fortunately, I'm a nerd and promptly spent 2 hours on a 7.5 point bonus assignment. I'm at the library now, with a five-page research ordeal in front of me. I figured the earlier I made it here, the sooner I could begin procrastinating, and maybe I'd actually start the damn thing before dinner. I'm starting to hear from my friends that I looked tired and stressed out again - I'm wondering if 4 years of this constitutes a pattern. I realized today that I will graduate with 149 credits. Is that necessary? No, of course not. But somewhere in between AP classes, summer credits, and deciding that an Economics minor would be a good idea, those credits kinda snuck up on me.
One of my best friends has a new man in her life. She's supremely happy, and rightfully so - the guy seems more or less perfect for her. I've been watching too much Sex and the City again lately and I got to wondering - what's more realistic? The familiar high school/college model of a few dates then right on to the relationship or the more dinner-movie-fabulous club-sex-next! model on HBO? Is it just because there are less people over more area in Connecticut? If Carrie says that single women outnumber single men in Manhattan, how did the 4 of them have a (or several) new date every week? Is it more like that when you don't live in a University community? Or does everything really just happen on myspace? Do any of those girls really call livelinks at night?
Time to crank out this paper. Maybe if I use the phrase "crank out" it'll seem like less work and be easier to, well, crank out.
