I have such a wonky schedule this spring, compared to my typical two classes every day, equally spread out. This year, I have all of MWF afternoons completely free, which is a little baffling. This is where you respond, "Suck it, Laura. I have a weird schedule every year." But I don't, and that it the point.
"Well then, you pansy," you may continue, "what are you going to do for 5 hours between lunch and dinner?" Thank you for asking! I am quite determined to do the crap I always say I will do, but never really intend to: write better news articles, send out resumés, enter writing contests, do taxes, finish homework, and so forth. There shall be productivity in my life, of this I am determined.
So how is this anyone's business but my own? By sending these ideas out into the public sphere, I risk other people getting involved and asking, "So how's that list going? Are you accomplishing anything worthwhile?" to which I will probably reply, "Mind your beeswax; I'm watching The West Wing." But after that episode is over, I will be much more inclined to write part of a cover letter (or at least clean my room for an hour).
So yeah. Here I go.

1. I do not believe you.
ReplyDelete2. I also have Monday and Friday afternoons free.
3. I would never call you a pansy. That just wouldn't be right.
a very admirable application for a blog: if you can't motivate yourself, invite others to do it for you.
ReplyDeleteI started reading through Corey's blog; hopefully you don't think it's too strange. and this is James, by the way.
