progress report
i feel as though i am part of a countdown. in a matter of hours i will have class and my paper will be due and i will be (insert star wars empire theme) DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE!
i got an hour's sleep from 5:30-6:30 and am either 1/4 or 1/2 done, depending on how you look at it. both my paper and the outline i'm following have increased in size.
i would be worried, but i just can't bring myself to be. also i know that i goofed off some last night. i needed a break between the two papers from yesterday and the last one today or i simply wasn't going to think straight.
so i made 4 batches of soap (sounds like a lot, but it only took me an hour, i've been doing this for about 3 years). i popped it out of the molds around 4am today and so far they look great. calendula, cucumber, tomato-basil and a gritty gardener's soap.
i watched the last half of the earthsea trilogy, which was utter decadence. i NEVER watch tv. but it was okay. way less cheese than i thought there would be. i am angry at them for the stuff they added about the women in the temple and the war. pure silliness. i REALLY object to their changing Ged's true name and his use name around. but danny glover is great. actually i was pretty impressed with most of the actors except the guy playing jasper who i think has spent a little too much time watching draco malfoy in the harry potter movies. and the nameless one? well he could have been done a lot worse.
i also talked with ross. which is always great, but last night was especially wonderful. it is such a gift to feel like someone really SEES you and thinks you're wonderful anyway. i love how much he cares for his friends. he has so much heart. sometimes i miss him so much i want to cry. i remind myself it is only five and a half more months til i will be out there for the summer.
That is still a long time, but i am very good at keeping myself busy. i need to quit whining and get my work done.

Was also curious because of your description of busy as sort of a self-management tactic. Familiar thought process to me.
