Vacation this year?

This is where I want to go.

And it's funny, because normally someone would want to go somewhere like this for spring break:

but me? I already live in California, where the weather is beautiful. Specifically, I live in the Bay Area, and the weather is always mild. I never get a snowy winter or a boiling hot summer. Plus, up in Washington I would enjoy much needed deep conversation. AND no one here has the same spring break as me. I just want to get away. Truth is, I probably (most likely) won't go anywhere. I will stay here:

And it would be foolish for me to buy a ticket to WA,

when my heart is on Keesler AFB Base in MS:

I miss Charlie. I hope he's enjoying Miss'ippi.

This is the truth.

Winding Down

I finally got one assignment completed and turned in, but I still need to do the bio exam and finish my readings for Fascism and Liberalism. The assignment I turned in was an imaginary clinical application regarding a fictional 26 year old woman and I had to correctly diagnose her with an STD. Lymphogranuloma Venereum.

This is what I WANT to complete tomorrow before work at 11am:

Ask Kaitlyn any questions regarding bio
Do the exam
Shampoo and condition my hair. Really.
Go to the library and pick up any book(s) regarding Fascism with either Hitler or Mussolini (easy reads, of course... I procrastinated too much to read novels) AND books on Liberalism
Find articles that relate to my research

This is what I have done every night since I can even remember. Make lists. When I was younger I'd make lists of people who I should pray for, early morning routines, and cramming homework in a timely matter (I still do). Truth is that half that time -well, probably more like 75% of the time- I do not even glance at the lists after I create them. It does take the strain from my brain and I'm sure I sleep talk less when I exercise my list making skills. But laziness usually strikes me by the time I wake up and the last thing I want to do is follow a stupid list.

What I'm supposed to be doing VS. What I'm actually doing

2012-03-09T14:16:00.005-08:00

What I should be doing:

Writing my research comparing the two ideologies Fascism vs. Liberalism
Studying for tomorrow's Bio exam that is due online at noon
Trying to figure out how to pay for this semester of college

What I'm currently doing:

Working, but no one is in the store and that's no excuse
Listening to Pandora
Procrastinating, even though I know I shouldn't

I need to pass these 17 units, but I feel kind of discouraged. For one, the degree is just Liberal Studies. Two, it is costing a buttload. And three, I miss the heck out of Charlie. I want him home. Nobody told me how difficult it was going to be when he joined the Air Force.
