distractions

Yeah, I caved in this afternoon and made myself two cups of coffee with soy milk. I feel only mildly disappointed about giving in so soon. I was bored. I wanted my routine back in swing. I was home all afternoon reading a novel for myAfrican-American novel class -- what else was missing? So there are a few things lined up that I just need to see in bullet-form:

• tonight (or early morning) write 2 page reflection on my prof's conference presentation
• finish reading novel for Friday.
• get haircut after friday class.
• watch "This Film is not yet Rated" (maybe friday night)
• Sat morning work; read and maybe do laundry
• Sat Dinner with friend.
• Sunday morning work. Read all afternoon for Monday class.
• Sunday night think and draft ideas for paper due Friday
• After monday class, got to gig and see IAMX
• Tues, Wed, Thurday night read and write 10 page paper for Friday class.

update later.

slowing things down Day 5

Last week I gave up soy lattes and then decided to give up coffee-- not altogether, of course, but for a while. Which could mean a week or two or whatever. The new healthy resolution is to stay away from coffee after 5pm. I'm switching to green tea for whatever good it will do me. I even started taking my vitamins semi-regularly; of course, after day 4 I catch a cold--Damn. It's like when I try to exfoliate my skin with a mild scrub, thinking I'm removing old layers of skin and then the next day I break out on my forehead. What the hell?

So I've been in bed all day, skipped class, drinking half the carton of OJ, and a glass of hot lemon drink with honey. Oh yes, I actually had chicken noodle soup just to cover my base. At least today I watched one film--Guest's For Your Consideration--which wasn't as funny as his last film. Discovered lots of good music on myspace: the whitest boy alive, death in June, new Air. Oh yeah, I got tickets to go see I am X for next Monday. Yay! Haven't been to a concert in ages. Oh. and I'm getting a raise at my job.

Now if I can just stop sneezing and stop thinking that I'm behind school work. Ugh. two novels behind.
