Sick

I don't know if it's lack of sleep, shock from spraining my ankle yesterday (while running across the grass at Grandma and Grandpa's house in three inch faux snakeskin pumps, to avoid getting snowed on too much and rolling the ankle when toe hit pavement and heel was still aerating the lawn), or stress from not being prepared for my Contemporary Art midterm this afternoon, but I'm sick. I'm currently vegging out in bed. No, scratch that. Vegging is not happening. I'm still preparing my stupid essays for my stupid test for the stupid class that lectures don't adequately prepare me for and requires me to learn more on my own than is elaborated on by my teacher but am still required to know all about.

I love:

Phone calls from these two. I don't care what I have due the next day at 4:00 and no time to work on it between 10 and 3, I will drop everything, even if that means a great lack of sleep, for them:

Real life horror

This was the progression of emotions that I went through last night after returning home from playing and realizing my fly was down. I don't know how long it had been like that, but Amy assured me she would have told me if she had noticed. Hopefully the zipper fell in the walk from the car to my apartment.

Best News Ever!

No, this has nothing to do with my eternal progression and salvation.

BUT, it's second best. I was supposed to have a paper due Wednesday. My teacher canceled it! Hooray for teachers who are lazy!

Why, oh why, oh why-o?

As I walked to go home this afternoon I ran into a friend and complained that I didn’t know what to do with the afternoon because I had so much to do this weekend and won’t be doing it. I told him I didn’t know what to do, go home or go to the library and work on my Edgar Allan Poe paper (which I have yet to get any real progress on). He looked at me like, “Lauren, are you really asking me what you should do?” I said, “Ok, I know the right answer,” before he could tell me in words what he was thinking. When we finished talking started backing away to walk down to my apartment. I decided that I was indeed going to go home instead of heading to the library. I announced it and immediately knew I should turn my butt around and head over to the library. I was given “the look” and I shuffled on back into the HBLL. I’m a pushover. I suppose though if the peer pressure is making me do the right things its ok. And now, instead of working on my paper I am gchatting and blogging. The two things that constantly keep me from doing my work.

All I really want to do now is:
1. Eat the ice cream that’s in my freezer.
2. Get a pedicure.
3. Watch Oprah. I haven’t in months and it’s on in 25 minutes. Whoops, shouldn’t have reminded myself of goodies like that.
4. Take a shower. I just can’t do night before showers. I never feel as fresh.
5. Be anywhere but the library.

No no no!

I don't want to do anything! I can't decide if it's because I just did school for a year straight or what. But I'm behind in all my classes. I am able to get my papers in, tests taken (if they're late days) and do my homework, but I don't want to do it. I wish I could just audit all my classes. I want to learn but I don't want to work. I must just be really lazy.

Things I don't like:
1. A broken dryer. I have to run it three times to get dry clothes but I often forget that they're in there and now all my clothes smell slightly moldy, but I don't want to wash them again because it'll just be a vicious cycle.
2. Flossing. I hate flossing my teeth. It needs to be done. I have "watch" areas between them and I don't want to have another cavity. But, I still don't like doing it.
3. Muffin top. Who likes it? 'Nuf said.
4. Not having an email. I don't care if the email I'm getting is from BYU or the Humanities Club (which I accidentally joined) or the MTC begging for Polish speakers to come volunteer. I just don't like not having something in my in box.
5. Going to bed late. Because then I can't get up early. I read (for fun, not smart when you aren't motivated to do actual homework) until 1:00 last night, but I had the intentions of getting up early to work on my book for Bookbinding. Didn't happen. I snoozed until 9 and then was late for work at 10.
6. Having friends living far away.
7. Not having any texts or messages when I emerge from the abyss known as the JFSB basement.
8. Waterproof mascara.
9. Gross toenails that aren't painted. Mine are in desperate need of a new paint job, but we're entering closed toed shoe weather and it just seems borderline pointless.
10. A messy room. Mine is out of control right now. No motivation for school= no motivation to clean either.

Things I like:
1. Jaymay. I have been loving a song by her called "Corduroy" for about six months now and had no idea who it was by. Thanks to Pandora and a slow afternoon at work I know it's now Jaymay.
2. Pushing Daisies. There is a new episode tonight and I'm really excited about it.
3. Constant emails and gchats with Amy and Erin throughout the day. It makes me happy. And I hate it when 3:00 pm comes because that means it's 5:00 pm in DC and Amy is off work.
4. The announcement of the temple in Rome. That gives me hope that someday the church will grow in other stubbornly Catholic countries like Poland!
5. Ben and Jerry's Banana Split
6. Talking on the phone to people who can totally relate to me right now.
7. Blogstalking. I may do it entirely too much.
8. Having my own room. It's heaven. I love my roommates and I love my alone time. It's the best of both worlds.
9. Being done with my homework but I have yet to experience that as of recently.
10. Getting enough sleep. I got enough last night and it was so nice and I think it made me more upbeat today and I didn't get as tired in class!

Just do it

Though I'm not a huge fan of celebrities being so political, I think this is good.
