Two days worth of nothing

If you're hoping for an interesting link, or a philosophical musing, then i'm sorry. I think its about time I got back to posting unedited ramblings from my day to day life. It's the kind of thing that makes people stop reading blogs. But originally, this blog was just for me to keep records for myself. Remember when I used to schedule out my day and post that here? Recently, i've become way to much of a blogging show pony...i'm sure that the big title headlines have something to do with it. To hell with standards. I intend to keep this blog going for my whole entire life, so it's rediculous to try and keep up any standards that long.

So, it's mid way through week 6, which is pretty much the half way mark of semester 1. By golly gee it's getting busy. I've been over 100% busy for a couple of weeks now.

I'm not wearing my finger string anymore. It fell off one day and I couldn't be bothered putting it back on. However, I have been diligent about refusing extra commitments. I even skipped out on going to my french class this week. My todo list system is holding up reasonably well, and has kept me reasonably stress free. Although there are a couple of things I could improve for next semester. I need to make sure I look at and adjust the todo list every day, not just on may stay home and study days. Also, it was unrealistic to expect that I could do as much distributed revision as last year when I was only do one unit.

Unrelated tangent: Psychologytoday.com have an interesting article about procrastination. They seem to suggest that procrastination predicts all sorts of terrible doom and gloom.

Anywho. So i've got lots of assignments to do, which I would be enjoying more if I had an infinite amount of time to work on them. It doesn't help that I have a tendency to rewrite every sentence numerous times. But I really can't complain, after having had a reasonably boring couple of years previously.

Yesterday, I went into the city for 2 whole hours editing work. It was kind of unexpected. The company that I was editing for last year hired a new guy who does everything that I used to do, and by the sounds of it does it a lot faster. So, in some ways, it reminded me that I kind of miss designing stuff...but I don't miss having to try and meet rediculous deadlines at the drop of a hat.

On the way home i bumped into Sophie from highschool. I keep trying to remember her surname, it's on the tip of my tongue, but i can't retrieve it.

And then today, I had social psych, and then I met Rodney and he gave me the last two eps of Battlestar which I am just loving so much.

Well just remember that you are my poster boy for trying to work out what doing a blog is actually for. I started putting down my writing then discovered how to get pictures on there, i like using the pictures as it helps establish the mood of the blog piece before you read it. I like the idea of putting your words out there for anyone or no-one to read. Jen thinks it is a bit self indulgent however i think it is a great tool for transferring thoughts to action. I have wanted to follow this moon/mood thing for years. I want mine to be a place to put all the writing i do. I have a bunch of weird little pieces i do on the train, where i have to finish it by the time i get to my station. That headache blog is one of them. I want to put my lyrics up there as well. The only problem is that i dont think this site enables you to fit the blogs into categories. Either way atleast it is in one place. I agree that you should write for yourself on that. Pictures are good though!
