josh, remember when we all used to stand in the parking lot on tuesday nights and talk for hours? (one of those times i convinced you that conversations about sex didn't have to be dirty! remember?) anyway, no one wanted to be the first to suggest finding a coffee shop because then we'd be committing to the conversation. and, in reality, none of us really had that kind of time to "waste," so we just froze and got snowed on.
it's the same with me and the things i really love, like hanging out at charbonneau house or really cooking a meal or seeing a movie in theatres or making cards. it's hard to plan for those when there's so very much to do. but it's easy to waste hours playing tetris. very messed up.
one of the most startling (and dysfunctional) characteristics of my first semester at grad school was the amount of time i spent on things i didn't care about, at the expense of things i really love. so i'm trying to budget my time better. and i'm trying to find helpful time-wasters. liiiike, "ok, if you're not going to work on readings, you have to edit corina's resume/clean the apartment/work out." by giving myself fruitful options for procrastination, it turns into a win-win. (to a point.)
today, i really cooked lunch. and in five minutes, i'm going to edit that position paper on women's ordination. and it feels so nice to be checking good things off my list :)
btw, i hate to tip my hand, but these two bacontainers look so amazing i had to spread the news: bowl or cup?
