Well, the draft that kept me from birthday celebrations was pretty pathetic, but received a suprisingly painless critique from my prof. & classmates. Being the cynic that I am, instead of taking this as good news, I instead suspect my prof of holding out on me so she can pull the rug out from under me later when I have less time to save myself. Yes, I am a bit paranoid.

All in all, things are going well. I’ve been avoiding work by obsessively watching the Olympics. Probably not the best plan of action right now, but at least watching the Olympics seems less of a guilty pleasure than if I were watching cartoons or movies all day and all night. At least that’s what I tell myself. Really, I think I just don’t know what else to do with my “spare” time. As much as I’ve tried to cultivate them, I don’t really have any hobbies. I get bored so easily, or I lack the inspiration to really sustain any kind of long-term commitment to an activity (like a website). It could also be the case that I’m just lazy or a freak of nature. All are possibilies. So please excuse me while I slip away now to watch six straight hours of hockey.
