Ah-HAH!

I'm going to blog now.

But only for a few minutes, because I'm really supposed to writing a paper on Africa's Green Revolution. The cloudy part is that I have absolutely no motivation to write it right now. The silver lining (which, as you know, comes standard with every cloud) is that this is my seventh out of eight papers due for this class--almost done, I am.

Actually, this blog post represents a minor defeat in Nellie's full-on assault on the big, bad Procrastination Monster. And I've been doing so well recently. I made a list of things I had to do this weekend, and I've pretty much been sticking to it, with the major exception of not even starting the book on which I have a test on Wednesday. Ah well, getting books done is not normally my problem; if I'm up all night on Tuesday...eh...that's the way it goes, I guess.

To balance out the minor defeat, I had a minor victory this morning--I actually made my bed. Right after I got up. Go Nell!

You may think that is pathetic, but trust me...it's even worse than that. See, I cleaned my room and washed all my sheets two days ago, but I "didn't have time" to make the bed then, so I just threw everything on the bed and went to get some schoolwork done. I was going to do it that night, but by the time I got back to my room after playing a late gig at the YMCA I was far too tired to do anything. So I just put the pillowcase on the pillow, and slept on the mattress pad with the quilt mounded over me.

You'd think after such a traumatic, ridiculously unnecessary sleeping arrangement, I would have made the bed upon arising the next day. You'd be wrong. I studied history until 1:30 last night, and so was again too tired and slept under the pile of sheets. Well, this morning, the realization of how pathetic the situation was finally smacked me upside the head and so I made the thing up. I put some freesia and lavendar oil in the diffuser, as well.

So now I have a clean room, a clean floor, and made bed. And it all smells nice.

Now if I can just get my fingers to type....this...paper...

I'll get back to you later. (And to those of you to whom I owe emails, I will be writing those in a few days after my exams are done. And they'll be very cheerful emails, too...I'd be looking forward to them, if I were you... ;) )

Hey Nellie! :-) Sounds like you've been very busy. Hope you're able to wind down a little bit over this Thanksgiving weekend.

P.S. Now it's your turn to provide an RSS feed for your blog. ;-)
