What are you *supposed* to be doing right now!?

I know, I know, you're here, but what are you really supposed to be doing right now?

What are you procrastinating about? What have you shoved to the bottom of your "To Do" pile, again? That 5-page essay that is giving you nightmares?

Is that pile of laundry still looming but you just don't look in its direction? Are you eating stale crackers and peanut butter because you can't face grocery shopping?

Is the light flashing on your phone that you have 12 new messages from your Aunty Bert in Miami who needs to tell you about her cats' gastrointestinal problems? Do you quickly close the browser window when you realise you are now up to 59 unanswered family emails? Haven't done that back up of your computer's hard drive this week/month yet?

Has your "To Read" pile migrated/spread from your bedside table/coffee table/desk etc. to the floor?
Are the magazines/newspapers in your "To Read" pile more than six months old?

I am supposed to be prepping my garden planters but it's really really windy out and I don't want the dirt to blow in my eyes/face :lol:
that's a good excuse, right?

Well, we should study for the art history test tomorrow, or social studies test on Thursday or the history exam next Monday.
But...nah.

I am supposed to be studying about WAPT 4.0, a load testing tool that I use for my work :rolleyes: Why did I take up such a job, where I have to still study to keep myself updated? :rolleyes:

I also need to tidy my bed. It's only second day of the week, and half of the clothes from my wardrobe are already on the bed. In the weekend I make my room tidy, but, come Friday all the clothes, books, papers are lying on my bed, with me sleeping over. :rolleyes: :lol: Do I sound crazy?

Heh, I am supposed to be studying at the moment too.

Oh this Mathematics annual exam! :( It's the first one and if it went bad, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on others thinking why I didn't study for it. But then I feel too lazy to study at the moment. :(

:lol:

I am just trying to save myself from harsh realities of life. I am not asking for too much, am I? :D I love being lost in my thoughts :D So, no more truths from now on, please :p. Day dreaming is so much easier, tidying a room takes a lot of energy, I am saving all of it :lol:

:D :D

I really should be going to have a shower and then bed as i'm in work for 6am.

usually it's all of the above :)
except for Aunty from Florida.. whenever I get a phone call when i least need it I can be sure it's my mum doing either or all of the following:
a) inviting herself over
b) pestering me to buy pretzels for her
c) raving about the state the world has got to
d) fretting about my brother, who will end up in prison one day, seeing as he does so many extracurricular things (he's an A student, but never mind)
e) telling me "I've always said..." about something she's never said before.


hehe, these days I'm not procrastinating for a change. I've been extremely efficient and hardworking for two weeks running :)
I'll come back when I've gotten rid of that distasteful habit :)

I am supposed to be asleep, but sleep itself is stubborn, must be thinking why I battled with it during math lesson when it wanted me to accept it...

I am supposed to be studying... but this is true knowledge, I think:)

Hey! Aunties are great, and you're lucky if you get to hear about their cats' gastrointestinal problems!:lol: Especially if those cats are lions.

I came all the way to University (it's 8.40am here) to do my essay, and now I'm back on litnet.:yawnb:

Sleeping :p

Ditto!

Supposed to be studying for English... I think :x

Getting ready for my son's band concert.

...working.... :D

LOL...:lol: "anthropologising" I guess I do that all the time....sadly...I have also have a regular office job...'administering' is more like it :lol:

Malwethian I didn't know you were an anthropologist....:wave: hello from a soon-to-be/hope-to-be physical anthropologist!!!!

I should be calling the fiancee, watching House, catching up on statistics homework, oh yeah, making it so that my books... clothes... lapdesk... backpack aren't sleeping on my bed so that I may sleep in it.

Hmm...finals are next week, I wonder if I should be worried.

Grace! join the club....I am a physical anthropologist myself...with a special interest in Forensics ;) Love it!

I'm supposed to be working, fixing the computer problems, but now I'm slacking, everythings broken, I finished my tea break, I finished my smoking break, I finished my bathroom break...so I'm out of legitimate excuses :D...well, I could take an early lunch...:D

I'm telling myself that I have to do something productive, been telling myself that for days. Not happening though. Aside from that, I'm supposed to clean my room, looking up stuff for my dad and catching up on sleep, since I've been sleeping at 3 am or 4 am or not at all, then waking up/getting up between 10 am - 12 pm. But whatever there's always the ever ready later.

I should be doing pretty much anything... aside from being here.

(from manageable to horrifying)

I should do the dishes of yesterday's dinner...
Then revise my university stuff...
And translate a passage of Middle High German*...

*The medieval ancestor of modern German, don't see why I have to learn this... :rolleyes:

well, fixed some things, so now I'm legit, on break legally! :D

I should be going home to my warm bed, my big, fat book (Underworld) and my sweet lovin one. But I'm not. I'm editing an essay and posting here. I'm an idiot.

My condolences to all who are dealing with essays, tests, exams etc ;) :lol:

I hope for the same! :)

As for cookies, I love cookies but too many cookies (as there are more than hundred sums) might bring my stomach in a shape that I wouldn't be able to go to school to give the exam. :p ;)

I'll make the cookies really small, then ;).
