I actually came home last night from my meetings, chucked my stuff on my bed, sat down at my computer and ordered a hat online. It was seriously the most aggressive online shopping anyone has ever done. I considered shouting out loud, "Yeah, take that, stupid wind!" and shaking my fist to the heavens. I will honestly try to wear the hat, but in reality I bought it to make sure that the weather is way too warm for me to wear it by the time it arrives in a week or two. Because that would totally happen.
I have so much work to do, that I can't even stomach it. I keep all my lists in the little notebook I carry, and I have been sneaking peeks at it for the last hour and had my stomach churn. Then I shut it and do things like this instead. This little book is all pink and innocent looking. But it contains my life. I am kind of a scatter-brained person. This is what a typical page of my notebook looks like:
03/03/09
Submit Global Studies
+800 words-Short Story Paper- due Thursday
Respond to Robinson, Orlando -> regatta dates on calendar
Study for spanish- Chapter 8
Academic writing response
sneakers, TEA WHEN HOME
VANCOUVER! PPD!
Walker reading for j research
J research- The importance of community? Medical risks? Source list by Friday.
So, in sum, someday historians will find this notebook and assume that the owner was on crack. Or a journalism major.
I want my hat.
***Edit
Okay, so I just received this e-mail from my mom in response to my blog post. And I decided it was necessary to publish it. I seriously started cracking up. The title of it?
List of Abby's Hats That Should Be in Ithaca
I can procrastinate with the best of you!
Einstein Swim and Dive hats (should be somewhere in your dorm room)
One Amma knitted that matches a scarf (never mind- saw this in the basement yesterday)
Hat Claire gave you that ties under your chin (like Eicher or Mary Coyne hat)
Light blue or white angora hat that matches gloves
hood for new parka
wrap one of your million scarves!
You see? I have absolutely no hats.
(That I don't look stupid in)
I love my parents. They can parent-school me from many miles away.
