procrastinatory list-making

things to do in lieu of studying on the day you took off for studying (in no particular order):

- go to probate court and change legal name
- write inflammatory email to head of benefits at old job regarding 5 month-old immunization bill
- make pureed butternut squash, never having done it before, and behold the mess with awe
- clean kitchen
- go to barnes and noble to study; find no outlet for laptop
- go to borders to study; find outlet, but find out wireless costs $$ after you've already ordered tea. mope for an hour, waiting for tea to cool
- watch the second half of 'mystic pizza' for the umpteenth time while eating too much squash and apple cider
- bitch to your mom for 20 min about the magnitude of the immunization bill and the state of health care in the country
- hunt around the house for aleve, clutching your abdomen and moaning
- write a blog post while waiting for the heating pad to warm up

was i this bad in undergrad about putting off studying? no. i'll tell you why: i didn't have my own apartment, a car, a laptop, wireless, cable, or civilization within 10 miles of school. what all i took for granted.
