10 a.m. Time to start homework...only I'm feeling a little restless. Maybe I'll take a walk first.

11 a.m. No longer feel restless after taking walk. The only problem is that I'm a little hungry. Okay, I'll eat lunch and then hit the books.

12 p.m. After eating, I feel tired suddenly. Maybe I'll take a nap--then I'll hit the books.

2 p.m. I feel well rested, but my brain isn't in the right frame of mind for studying. Maybe I'll play a video game.

3 p.m. Okay! Now we are going to study! Only the desk is a little dusty. Actually, didn't I plan to wipe a few things off and do laundry?

3:15 p.m. Start studying after wiping off desk and putting in laundry.

3:30 p.m. While printing out some homework, I decide to go on Facebook quickly and see if anybody has written to me. I have two notifications and one message. I'll quickly respond to these--how long can it take?

4:45 p.m. Wow! It took longer than I expected! Oh, well. I'll study.

5 p.m. Remember laundry and put it in dryer.

5:15 p.m. Friend calls and wants to cry on my shoulder because her boyfriend--who she believed would change his ways after he started going to church--has stolen her new car and driven it into a canal (big surprise here). I tell her she is better off without him. He didn't change the first four times he promised to turn over a new leaf--he probably isn't going to. She is a beautiful, smart lady (except when it comes to boyfriends)--and she deserves better! She agrees.

6 p.m. Hungry again.

6:30 p.m. Remember laundry, take it out of dryer, fold it, and put it away.

7:20 p.m. Friend calls back. Bubba Joe, who unfortunately managed to escape the car when he drove it into a canal, has promised (again) to turn his life around. Friend, whom I am convinced is abusing stupid pills, believes him yet again. I ask why. She says that Bubba claims that he had a near death experience where the Lord spared his life--but He told Bubba he had to change. Bubba won't go back on his word if he promised God, friend reasons. I point out that taking LSD is known to cause hallucinations. Friend hangs up on me angrily.

8:10 p.m. Friend calls me an embittered b**** on my Facebook wall, who doesn't have to use menstrual pads because everything is caught by the cobwebs in my vagina. I go play Wii boxing to vent my anger--fantasizing about keying friend's car--until I remember Bubba drove it into a canal. Try to think of a scathing but witty remark I can write on her Facebook wall.

10 p.m. OMG! IT IS 10 P.M.! I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY HOMEWORK! WHERE DID THE TIME GO?

Mhmm - very witty. Procrastination - I wonder where you found the spare time to write this.

You/She might want to reconsider the term 'Friend' !

Reminds me when I was told to go on a Time Management course.... but never got round to it.

Nice to hear from you, hillwalker! How have you been?

The story is not exactly real-life based. I did notice, once I started school, how easy it was for your time to get eaten up--particularly by Facebook. To think I only joined originally because a friend of mine wanted me to see pictures of her dog.

One thing people don't take into consideration when they do Facebook is how much they reveal about themselves. Do you know how many people who have warrants out on them have a Facebook page that is telling people where they live, who their friends are, etc. A friend of mine didn't do her homework and asked me to help her because her computer had broken--she even got the teacher to give her an extension on the test--but I had just been online, and during the hours her computer was "broken" she had been on ZooWorld.

Nobody has insulted me on my wall, but I know of people who that has happened to. So this story was mostly my observations and artistic license.
