I have opened the window to write about four times today, but I really need a study break right now, and I'm hoping that writing here will inspire my creative writing skills on the Personality Psychology Trait paper I am currently avoiding.

It has been a pretty good day, considering that I have been dragging my heels on a 10-page paper about Achievement Striving. I wore my pajamas all day, because guys get away with it all the time, and because when you are going to be sitting stationary for 10 or so hours writing, and your brain is working as hard as I've been trying to make mine, comfort is key. Beyond that, I hate to admit that I haven't really done much.

I guess I went swimming. I daydreamed. I thought about my race tomorrow, and possibly Flunk Day at Knox. A couple friends and I are driving a few hours for a huge party at another college, but we don't know if it's tomorrow or the next day because the point is that it's supposed to be a surprise. But it should be a lot of fun. Kind of like Alice plus Block Party (our end-of-year party here). I am hoping to get my paper done tonight because if Flunk Day is tomorrow, I won't be able to work on it. That means getting down to business in a few minutes.

Always comes back to the homework. I guess that's what happens when you procrastinate a semester project until the last day.

Nonetheless, life has been pretty damn good even with the homework. I like writing, I like engaging the brain, and I only have 14 days until graduation to enjoy it.
