school invites procrastination

I have finally (?) realized that it's not ME that is a procrastinator--it's SCHOOL. If there is one thing I will keep from doing until the very last moment, it is school related. Now, I'm really not a good procrastinator...really, i probably fail at procrastinating compared to someone else. However 99.999% of my procrastination efforts can be tied back to homework, school reading, or school planning. I mean, what do you think I'm avoiding right now? I'll give you one guess.
On the other hand, it feels good to accomplish something each day (or each week). I wouldn't want to stop taking classes because of the work-it's the work that eventually creates the sense of accomplishment and keeps me going. Today was on of those days where I was not looking forward to reading and writing for class. Now that I'm in the midst of it, it really is exciting. Though not super exciting or I would be here right now. On that note, maybe I should get back to work.

My Own Oscars

 

How disappointing were the Oscars this year? Even Oprah's cameo couldn't breathe life into the show. I still had fun competing watching with friends. I now owe a friend a golden Oscar tinfoil trophy to be displayed on a nonexistent mantelpiece.

 In other news and updates since the posts of yore:

1. The Wailin' Jennys are coming to the theater (above).Tickets yea or nay?

2. Community Gardens--two year waiting list!! This just means we need more gardens. Will talk to garden dude at the next farmer's market.

3. Swimming-good and bad. Good workouts, bad dry skin. Apart of dipping myself directly into body lotion I don't know how to rectify this situation.  For the time being, I am taking a swimming hiatus.  Running and other exercisings are still on the table.

The Story of E-Waste

So many toxins, and so much waste! I'm keeping this in mind the next time I "recycle" my e-waste.


I'm a little afraid to watch anything else from the Stories of Stuff projects...

seasons of projects

Ideas for the winter, spring, summer, some already thwarted:

Winter

-swim at the gym (need to look into free swim times)
-bring back a swimsuit from home at christmas (I already wrote myself a note)

Spring
-taking a class Jan through May (not so much free time in the Spring)
-create wall art out of old postcards (that is as far as I've gotten on that one)

 Summer
-community garden (waitlisted already)
-drink a barrel full of whiskey and use the barrel as my garden (need ginger ale and Andrea's help)
-bee keeping (no apiary or bee community in Somerville, but will keep looking)
-take a photography class (digital or film?)
