WAH! I’m so glad that there’s a real live weekend coming up after tomorrow. The last two weekends have been really fun (visiting parents and then going to visit cousins) but not necessarily relaxing. I really just want to kick back and do nothing. Oh yeah, and catch up on work. And maybe work on some personal projects… WAH!

Anyway, I’ve also discovered a new procrastination technique that is working surprisingly (and probably detrimentally) well: Not knowing exactly what it is that you should be working on. By staying blissfully unaware of exactly what I should be working on, I don’t accomplish anything. Hooray! I’m sure this is going to catch up with me this weekend, but oh well. Luckily, I think the new workload in my classes has hit a lull, so I’ve got mostly just catching up to do.

Good things:

• I’m pumped for Expresso tomorrow night. It should be really funny.
• I just met my little for Big Brothers, Big Sisters this week and he is really cool.
• I just finished sending in my cross-registration request for “ARTS 255 - Dynamic Interface Design” at Wellesley, which is going to be an awesome class.
• I’ve gone running every day this week! I’m trying SO HARD to make this a habit despite the fact that I hate it. But I also really don’t want to become a potato.

Things are generally OK. If I can just get caught up on work then things will be looking great. I really wish Olin gave me more time to breathe. Next semester I think I’m just going to take a 14 credit course load and pick a really cool personal project to work on. I feel like I need to do something where I can say, “Yeah, that was mine and I worked hard and it’s awesome.” Maybe that’s research, maybe it’s starting something… I don’t know. I’m feeling very ineffective with no clear reasons. Perhaps it’s just the craziness of this semester.
