Thus, I'm sitting in front of my computer at work fantasizing about all of the things I have coming up instead of what I should be doing, which is sitting in front of my computer working on this five-page paper. Ah well, everyone needs a break, right? Right.
Anyway! Things in the works/near future:
- A lot of good ol' Wisconsin time. This weekend in La Crosse to visit some friends, a long Easter weekend in Milwaukee, and then Mifflin Street Block Party in Madison.
- A whole Minneapolis summer! No class, just time to finally explore the cities a lot more and hopefully some serious time spent at any of the 10,000+ lakes Minnesota has to offer.
- Maybe another New Orleans trip to celebrate Annalise and my birthdays?
- Not winter. Finally appropriate weather for me to continue my boycott against wearing pants.
There is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel, thank goodness. I'm sure this is a super common complaint from every other college student, but I am running out of steam! I slept 12 hours last night (7:30PM-7:30AM, not even ashamed) out of sheer exhaustion. My current goal is to do better at time management so I can also do better at relaxation time/sleeping at appropriate hours...
For anyone interested, I made a playlist of some songs/artists I especially like to listen to while I am actually taking the time to relax. It can be downloaded here.

Hope you enjoy it! And now, back to real life and real work and a real work out and then really writing this dang paper. Wish me luck.

I decided to use my LiveJournal username to comment on this (?). I don't know either.
ReplyDeleteANYWAY: Thanks for the playlist. Now I have inspiring music for the two papers due tomorrow that I haven't begun reading for. You know, the usual. Maybe now I can actually resist the urge to play outside and jump in a car and drive away.
stout field trip
ReplyDeleteJen! You have a LiveJournal? Good. Also, you probably have 98% of the songs on that list, but you're welcome anyway. Do work, sister.
ReplyDelete...the same one since '03, baby. YOU KNOW IT. I just use it read PostSecret on Sundays. Anyway, I do, but this is still fun.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Still haven't started anything.
Alicia! I was delightfully surprised when I saw you on here. I stole your playlist and am listening to it as I try to study for this massive history exam, thanks (its extremely helpful). I really look forward to what you blog in the future. Don't be a stranger.
ReplyDeletethis music is for hipster faggots.
