I'm avoiding an assignment.
It's only the second one of the year and I'm already sick of doing them! Actually that's not entirely true. I'm liking getting to think again, it's just a bit tricky trying to do something that I don't really know anything about. I'm supposed to be critiquing a journal article, and I've done the easy parts, and one of the hard parts. There's one hard part to go, but it's just hard when there's no direction to follow. I suppose I should have done the sensible thing and asked Alastair to read over my draft today, but he'd already read so many people's and I felt bad making him stay behind longer. Plus I hate having people read my work, especially when I'm sitting right next to them. It's fairly daunting! I think everyone's in the same boat though (would wanna be a big boat!!), which always makes me feel better. Oh well, I only have to write about 350 more words, and it can't be that hard to think of problems/gaps in the article!
In other news, the end of next week is Easter and the 4 day break! Which is doubly awesome because I have two more weeks off after that. Well, only one really, because the other is when we go on our field trip to Beechworth and the wine regions. That should be fun fun fun. And i'm hoping that the government aren't being sneaky when they say that the stimulus money is being delivered next monday. I can't wait to finally be able to buy something for myself that doesn't consist of food or petrol. Because that's about all I've been getting myself lately... Okay, occasionally there might be a random bit of chocolate in there somewhere, or some ice cream, but they aren't anything substantial and I want new things, dammit!! Plus I want to buy someone else some things! Birthday soon, anyone? Oh yes! That's going to be lots of fun, I've got a few cool ideas, although I'm cutting it fine, April totally sprang up on us! Pretty soon it'll be winter and I'll be thinking about skiing and snow and mountains and scarves and snuggling and the like. Why do lots of good things start with the letter S?
Snow.
Sand.
Sun.
Sea.
Snuggles.
Skiing.
Snowmen.
Snowballs (okay so i'm cheating with using the same word... but I say it still counts).
Spas.
Singing.
Summer.
Spring.
Stop this train.
Spongebob...
Haha okay I'll stop now.
I think my problem is that I can't really do any constructive work at night time... unless it's due the next day. There's just too many distractions around that I let myself be distracted by. Like someone's watching TV, so i'll just go out and have a little look, or i'll decide my ipod needs charging, and spend a while making a new playlist on iTunes, or I'll find facebook, or decide I can write much more on a blog, or i'll pretend to get hungry and i'll go and find some stupid food to eat, and figure that while I'm eating, I might as well watch the latest How I Met Your Mother. Then, before I know it, it's 9.30pm and I'm getting sleepy and all hopes of getting anything proper written is gone, because, of course, it'll be time for a shower, and then i'll be all snuggly and warm and just decide to hop into bed for an early night, and then repeat the whole process over again the next night! My only hope is to get the work done on Thursdays and Fridays, preferably in the morning, because I seem to be at my most workable then.
And so now, without even breaking a sweat (not that I do when I type normally, it's just a figure of speech), I've written double the amount here that I need to write to finish off this assignment!
It's ludicrous. And I will never change.
Nighty night!
