on a scale from one to procrastination...

it's actually amazing that i can find the time to blog when i am most swamped with things to do...

who am i kidding, it is completely typical of me. our first physiology test of the semester is monday and i have at least fourteen more hours of studying to do... yet, somewhere between going to class this morning and now, i found the time to file taxes, make a three course lunch, watch an episode of "lie to me," take a nap, clean the kitchen, go to the bank, watch "no strings attached" with X, and check facebook at least twenty times... somehow if i fill my wasted time with relatively justifiable activities i can almost convince myself that i wasn't actually procrastinating... here's pretty much how it plays out in my head:

1. taxes: taxes are very important. i mean i could probably go to jail if i didn't file... i didn't even really have a choice.
2. three course meal: it's X's day off work, and since we have to eat anyway i should really at least make an effort to make him some decent food...
3. "lie to me": since we are eating lunch anyway, an episode of "lie to me" at the same time is really just multitasking, and everyone knows multitasking just means time spent extra efficiently 
4. nap: i have a test monday... meaning i can't be tired if i want to study efficiently... plus, not enough sleep can lead to a weakened immune system, and i obviously can't afford to get sick right now... meaning completely necessary.
5. cleaning the kitchen: i can't study in a dirty environment...
6. bank: i have bills, you know...
7. "no strings attached" with X: in a relationship sometimes you have to compromise... and it's X's day off... and i told him we could watch a movie together... and since i have to study later i might as well get the "quality time" over with now because i'll be studying so much later that i'll be practically be neglecting him...
8. facebook: see, this is where it gets tricky... because unfortunately, there is no way for me to justify facestalking people or looking at people's pictures or commenting on their statuses... and thats when it really sinks in that i need to start studying.

right after i get a snack that is....
