Gaaaaahhhh!!! (Notebook blog, March 10, 2008)

For the sake of clarity, I'll say it again-- GAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Ok, feeling slightly better. Although my writing hand's a little sore. There's just so much to do, so little time! Cleaning and homework and essays and quizzes and family dinners and CLEANING! Spring break was supposed to be more relaxing than this! I still have not come to terms with the idea that I too can stop procrastinating. It just doesn't seem possible anymore!

So the prospects of a summer job are looking good. Apparently I have some connections from my youth group in the park district that will really help out. And I'd MUCH rather teach kids at day camp than work retail *shudder*. Folding clothes and ringing a register-- never again!

So I'm kind of happy that spring break is early, since the best friend and I get to hang out and all that good stuff. But Gina's (younger sister-- and yes, it IS a very Italian name) break is closer to Easter so I'm not really feeling the "break" part yet. Like where we both stay up late doing something or other that we would normally do on a school night anyway but now can't get yelled at for because It's Spring Break Mom! Of COURSE We Can Stay Up Late!

Aside from that, things are going pretty well so far. I mean, I AM feeling swamped, but not drained, if that makes any sense (hey, could this be a borderline, pun-like reference to a swamp pun? Can I use a rim shot here? I think I shall :) *rim shot*. I'll have to work on getting up early again for school, but staying up until 3 in the morning and sleeping till noon is fine by me until then. Now the only question is what I should do right now. I don't have to drive out for Monday Night Family Dinner for another couple of hours-- what to do, what to do? Although this "post" has killed a lot of time. As much as I like the idea of blogging, I think I'm going to miss this notebook when Lent is over. Maybe it's not the blogging I like-- it's the journaling. Opening up. Pouring my heart out. Actually, pouring my heart gets too emotional. I much prefer mindless dribble with no real point or purpose other than to waste time and occupy space. Like right now, haha. Surprisingly, I am feeling fulfilled as I write this. Maybe this isn't such a bad way to use my time. My writing may never improve, but my demeanor is! Yay for blogging!
