countdown to zero

1. after 6 comes 5 and then 4 and then 3 and then 2 and then 1 and then 0. i can do this! 
2. had a long day of homework prep and laundry and odds and ends to sort through, as well as getting ready for tomorrow: updating/editing my CV, writing/formatting a cover letter, and getting an unofficial transcript together. 
3. took a break for dinner and to watch the grey's episode from last thursday night. also, figured out a good way of stopping procrastination: log out of facebook. that way, when i tried to check facebook, i had to log on and that prevented me from actually logging on and procrastinating. 

i have had extreme writer's block today. this crosses over into the blogging realm as well. it's been one of those days. tomorrow better be one of the days when i can write a draft of a ten page paper, piece of cake. it's not due until 2 pm on tuesday, and i have between 11-3 and after 6 tomorrow, and all day before 2 pm tuesday to finish it. so. that is my hope! i have the articles too, and it only has to be a draft, as opposed to a final paper (that's not due until december 7th). yes, this is me rationalizing. oh well...college is characterized by rationalization of procrastination. hope that things fall into place tomorrow, although today was not a wash by any means. just not the day that i intended it to be...but c'est la vie. i need to learn how to say that in italian. c'e vita! i think that is right...the e needs an accent though. okay, no more rambling. only productive writing from here on out!
