Busy busy busy day (and rambling about the internet)

I did a lot of things today, despite only having a very rudimentary to-do list.  I did homework, and cleaned and organized my room, and fixed things, and had tea, and ate dinner with a friend, and read a book, and spent time knitting, and wasting time online (sidenote:  I think it's funny that "wasting time online" has replaced "surfing the web" as the phrase to describe what you do online.  And it's true.  I don't surf the web, finding new fun sites.  I waste time online on the sites that I have bookmarked and saved and top-sited (if that's a word).  I don't spend a lot of time finding new things online, they are brought to me via dashboards and news feeds and sub boxes. Which is interesting.)  And I still have a bit of time before I should go to sleep, but I've already done everything today, and I'm tired of it all.  Maybe I'll watch a movie?  Hmmm...  I really should do more homework, but as I said I'm tired, mentally tired of it all, and so that wouldn't actually be very helpful.  Which is a bit annoying.


And I can't get rid of the feeling that I'm doing all of this in an attempt to put off doing something that I can't think of right now.  Which is not a very nice feeling.

Back to School blahs

So today I have made two hair clips, a ring, and a pendant, listened to three podcasts, and done absolutely nothing on my to do list.  And classes start tomorrow.  Crap.  I need to get books, figure out exactly where my classes are, and memorize my schedule.  But I don't want to.

And I'm blogging right now.

I've been letting my laundry go for a while. I always wash like colors together, and I wear a lot more blues, greens, browns, and greys than other colors, so the other colors get neglected. I had a load of whites and a load of bright colors to wash, in addition to about three loads of blues, greens, browns, and greys. Basically, that equals a lot of work and time and money. I spent ten dollars and five hours, on and off, to wash my clothes. And I still have more work later, when the clothes on the clothesline are dry. So that took up most of my day.

My astronomy homework is super easy and not due for two weeks, but I thought that it would be a good idea to get it out of the way now. I have one question left, and it's pretty easy. I've just lost the gumption to do it.

Great Books reading should have been done on Wednesday, but that didn't happen, so I need to catch up on that. I read a little bit earlier, but have no desire to finish that tonight.

I called my parents to let them know I was coming home on Tuesday, and ended up talking to my dad. He told me about what he was currently reading about, as usual. My dad reads a lot. He's constantly learning about things that interest him, and a lot of the time, he likes passing on that information to me, and my mom. I have more background information on most of the subjects than my mom does, so he usually tells me. It's fun. It's as if he's the teacher of a class with one student that meets whenever and who's subject is anything in the realms of science, music, philosophy, economics, and academia. I miss those talks.

I got money out of an ATM for the first time today. I'm quite proud of myself, actually. I figured out how to use the machine, found my pin number, and didn't look like a fool doing it. Of course, I used the ATM when there was no one else around, so that might have helped.

I watched Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day while folding laundry. And it was perfect. I folded my last shirt just as the movie ended. I was very happy about that.

And now I'm blogging about what I did today. I'm going to go to a glee club concert in about forty minutes, and after that, I have no idea. Maybe another movie... or some more laundry... or I might be ambitious and do some more homework. Who knows?
