Anyway, the end.

One reason that I'm so excited to be done with education is because I will actually be able to blog every day. Every day, I write at least five entries in my head, but I'm lucky if I get the chance to post one, because I feel guilty about all the homework I have to do, or I am spending my rare free time with people.

I feel like I never talk about what my actual life is like in my blog. I complain about homework, yes, but homework isn't all that I do. I do lots of other things, too! Yesterday, it was a discussion and three power lectures in a row. Then, home to quickly clean the kitchen; then, off to a couple of bars right by the Capitol to watch most of the first half of the Packer game and have a "goodbye" bar-hopping for a co-worker who will be moving away (his last day was today). Then home with a co-worker and her boyfriend to join Chad and his entire law school study group for homemade pizza and the rest of the Packer game (WTF I HATE THE DALLAS COWBOYS AND HAVE SINCE THE AGE OF 8).

This morning was....up at 5:45am to go off to a liturgy meeting at church, work from 8-5 with an outing for lunch, outlining of Women's Studies paper, and reading of the Philip Gourevitch book about Rwandan genocide, peppered with manga-reading, of course.

Soon, I'll be off to join Antoine and his friends from grad school (and my friends too, I guess!) for dinner somewhere, and I think drinks or bowling? Something's going on, anyway.

I have two papers to work on, but sometimes I just know that if I were to be in my room all night for "homework," I would instead angst out, watch Buffy or Angel, and spend the rest of the night online, accomplishing nothing. So I might as well be socially-healthy, and get out of the house.

Or at least, that's how I justify it in my mind, :)

It really sucks that I wasn't able to start earlier on all of these papers, although all my papers are basically do at the same time; and right before that, all of my midterms were at the same time, too. School is structured quite poorly, in my mind. It all revolves around the convenience of the professor, and in most cases, I am not inclined to make their lives convenient.

I rarely blog about my life, but when I do, it seems like an ugly laundry list that no one would want to read. Oh well, time to go.

You would so fit in here in Philly with the Dallas hate. It's all I hear, especially since they obtained Terrel Owens. There's a lot of Patriot hate, but I think that's just out of jealousy.

Fucking Dallas. Fuckers. Maybe I would. The real enemy is the Vikings, but that's obvious.

Being socially-healthy is really important and I'm glad you're striving for that. It'll be interesting to see your post-college blog entries. :)

If it helps, I enjoy reading your laundry list.

IT DOES HELP.

a shopping list, maybe. Who lists laundry? I can barely be bothered to *wash* mine, let alone list it!

Or maybe...a vocabulary list. I could see it as that.
ext_6446: (What.)

You make some good points. Where the hell did the phrase "laundry list" come from??

Totally off-topic, but I am watching Avatar, S3, disc 1 today. I feel like I somehow missed the last disc of S2 (I get these from NetFlix). Which is weird--did they not send it to me? Did I watch part of a disc and miss some eps? I know generally what happened in the storyline, because I've seen some of these eps on TV randomly. But it's frustrating because I feel like I missed some things. Anyway, it's a really fun and satisfying show to watch, for being a kids' show and all. It feels like the writers know what they are doing! I can see why you love Toph so much.

Ooooh, well they do a bit of a time-jump of about a month or something, between the last ep of season 2 and the first one of season 3.

Yeah, Katara used to be my favorite, but she does stupid things way too often, so now it's totally Toph.

And yeah, after Battlestar Galactica and Heroes, it's definitely nice to watch a show that clearly had a plot plan since the beginning, ;)

Yes, but I still feel like I missed some episodes. The one where Toph learns a new thing about Earth bending? (I'm trying to be non-spoilery.) That one, I think I saw all or part of it on TV a long time ago. But I'm certain I haven't seen it on DVD. Which is frustrating me, a little. Usually I have no complaints about NetFlix, but right now I do.

Totally agree with you on BSG and Heroes. What's up with these writers? And I feel like Avatar is more socially conscious than a lot of other shows.

Well, I know that the new Earth-bending thing is in one of the last two episodes of season 2. I got my discs from Netflix, and I know I saw it. Maybe you did end up missing one? :/

hee. *embarrassed* I am probably a total idiot and forgot to hit the "Next" button on the episode index screen. It was a while ago, so who knows. Well, I can always get the discs again. Avatar is good enough to rewatch, anyway.
