Procrastination rhymes with… schmoprastination

What? You’re avoiding studying also? I studied for 7ish hours last night. I’m just all wiped out now. I do need to study for Español. Wish me luck on that tomorrow.

So far I’ve taken three finals. All today.    First was El. Ed., then math, then English. Even though english was just a regular test (just the most recent information we learned), it was really hard. I had to write an essay about T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land. That poem is so full of convoluted allusions and references, I don’t know how anyone could ever understand it. The footnotes were longer than the actual poem! I did like it a little though, the small part I understood, that is. 

So… how has my life been going (other than finals) you ask? Well, this past weekend was pretty CRAZY. I had a 4 ½ hour choir rehersal on Friday night. Then on Saturday, E, D, C and I decided to build a fort. And when we decide to do something… we go all out. We took the matresses off of my bed and E’s bed and brought in D’s mattress (it was a quite difficult process!). Then we put them on the floor between mine and E’s beds. Then we used our comforters and clothespins to make the roof. All of our extra pillows and blankets went under the bed. We put a little chair in the one corner, I hung a curtain, and we made sure we could all see the T.V. because it was HARRY POTTER WEEKEND on ABC Family. AWESOMENESS. Then I had my choir concert that night. When I came back E was giving makeovers. And we all curled our hair. Then I had yet another concert on Sunday night. It was just a LOT of singing.

Below you can witness the four fort-builders laying in their newly-built piece of amazingness. And below that you can get a better idea of how big the fort was.

But let me assure you that we did not know how uncomfortable sleeping in the fort would be. In actual execution, it was a bit pooey. The sun was too bright in the morning (once we built the fort, we couldn’t reach the blinds to put them down…). And the mattress I slept on was on a slant. So… yea. Lesson learned. Play in the fort like little kids, but don’t sleep in the fort.

My roommate was totally creeping over my shoulder as I wrote that last paragraph. She has the creeping gene, as do I, which may be why we get along so well (it’s certainly not because she enjoys critcizing every aspect of the Harry Potter movies!!). Not a single day goes by without one of us creeping on someone. What can I say? I enjoy gossip.

Another exciting thing that happened was D peeing in my roomie’s chair. She didn’t really pee, she just spilled strawberry lemonade, but she was in class so she couldn’t see the stain on the chair and E kept texting her to complain about it. She had D believing she actually peed. It was great. So we nicknamed her Captain Peepants.

Alright, time for my recommendation of the day. I know it is asking a lot of you to watch a forty minute video, but trust me when I say it is sooo WORTH IT. It’s called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. My uncle emailed it to me. And I know as my DEAREST friends (you two know who you are), you will watch it. Because you love me. I was cracking up the whole time. And I did sing along.

This procrastinating is getting bad. I watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith instead of studying. I watched Fred youtube videos instead of studying. I’m about to watch How I Met Your Mother instead of studying. I’m obviously blogging instead of studying…  

Well I’m off to go try and accomplish something, against my instincts to do anything but study.  Have a lovely day (or night…).
