Otherwise known as... Is It Time for the Superbowl Yet?
This morning I awoke with a mission. The mission, which I chose to accept, was to complete my final two papers for my first Educational Leadership class, by noon. NOON! I could do it! I'm Jen Single!
This is the order of this morning's events:
5:00 a.m. Wake up to the purring of dear Aiko-chan. Brain far more alert than ever is at 5 a.m. during the week. Not happy, and yet, eager to get a start on the completion of... The Papers.
5:50 a.m. After reading the the news via my NPR app, I rise, make coffee, and two slices of toast spread with Nutella. Must be fortified for best academic ability!
6:30 a.m. Begin working in earnest on what should be the simplest task, a summary of a group of inventories ranging from personality style to decision making. Didn't I analyze myself enough when I became a counselor??? I should be exempt from this assignment!!! Hrrrrmmmppphhh.
10:30 a.m. Discover I am a closet introvert who has trouble maintaining personal relationships. Oh dear. I demand a do-over! (You'd think being single for 38 years would have given me a clue...)
11:00. In the spirit of Tolkien, make second breakfast, polenta with two poached eggs. Dreaming of mimosas, soldiering on...
12:00. Shower and dress. Need to step away and get perspective. Start writing blog as a distraction. Okay, okay, you got me. As a healthy bit of procrastination. As if I haven't procrastinated enough for four weeks.
12:36. Starting second paper. Will feel fresh to summarize what I have learned from taking six different inventories once I've focused on the topic of with Emotional Behavioral Disorder. There's always a bright side...
1:07. Ummm.. didn't actually start second paper. Entertained myself by watching Charlie Murphy (Eddie's brother) on YouTube. Hitting new lows in methods to do anything but what I should be doing.
Stay tuned for Part 2. Must get focused so I can reward myself by attending my favorite football fans' Superbowl party.
