The way I look at it, twenty years from now, who will really remember whether or not I did laundry today?

Plan: Wake up at 5 AM PST, scout around online for interesting things to do for the morning, get the new GPS installed and drive out somewhere and watch the sun rise, then just meander through downtown until airport time.

Reality: Wake up at 5 AM PST, scout around online for interesting things.

I love challenges! There’s nothing else in my life that makes me move or think or react, but challenges — challenges give me something to run from.

Most of all I am thankful for the holiday. If there were more holidays, I would be more thankful.

I have written a page.

It is an awesome, awestriking page. It is a page to be proud of. It is a page to sing the praises of. It is a page to go down in the pages of history, if you’ll permit me (in the annals of history, if you won’t). It is a page to gaze at and say admiringly, “By God, there’s a page! By God, those were the days when men knew how to write pages!” It is a page not to be surpassed, nay, not even to be equalled. It is a page from which to remove so much as a punctuation mark would be entirely unforgivable. It is a page to which to add a word would be a disgrace upon humanity, much less three more pages.

Protip: If you have any responsibilities or obligations, you know what’s awesome? The swine flu! It’s like a get-out-of-jail-free card (if you’ll let them lock you up).

O, call back yesterday, bid time return
from Richard II (which opens tonight) 3.2, courtesy of my procrastination.

…it’s October?!

(Speaking of sudden realizations, I just noticed that Tumblr offers to “Let people answer this” based on whether my post title has a question mark in it.)

But - but developing a self-preservation instinct would require effort!

Oh, boy, the Ruby code I just spent four hours writing to do row reduction via Gauss-Jordan elimination and output the results into perfectly formatted LaTeX is gonna save me so much time on the two row-reduction problems I have for homework this week!

Not sure why I was expecting to be more productive this past week, given I’m not working on anything.

Why am I waking up at 6 am to pretend to graduate when I could pretend to graduate right now?

should’ve really walked next year, if only so as not to be doing his senior survey now

If only every day of work could be like today! (and not like tomorrow when my logins start working)

(First day of interning at the Berkman Center! In actuality, was really itching to get started doing something, but couldn’t get logged in, so spent most of the afternoon reading code and looking busy.)

Accepted Dove chocolate slogan: “Try something new tomorrow!” Great! I love putting off things that are good for me!

Confession: The above was not one of the many, many variations on this line that went into my status bar, but I think it’s the one I like best. The actual final version was:

Accepted Dove chocolate slogan: “Try something new tomorrow!” Perfect! I love procrastinating!

This and the other Dove chocolate status both came from a bag Shira gave us at her OHs / review session for the AM107 second midterm.
