The Internet Won

Sometimes, I think the purpose of the internet is to waste my time. Sure it has its uses, but I tend to spend way too much time doing things that are irrelevant. Facebook, blogs, and other time-sucks on the world wide web have convinced me that I need to spend hours checking them frequently and then spend even more time contributing to the mass of communication that is already out there.

So here I am, writing on a blog for no reason other than "I felt like it."

Yesterday, I got carried away blog-stalking and decided that other people's lives are more exciting than mine. If that is the case, you wonder, why write about it? Well I'll tell you.

Instead of doing my homework (which at this point is writing lesson plans and deciding what to teach 27 fourth graders), I came up with this list:

Things I wish I could do right now: (in no particular order)

1. Watch Psych
2. Watch MI-5 Season 5
3. Catch up on House Season 6
4. Finish The Lightning Thief
5. Read other books for fun
6. Watch movies with my friends
7. Hang out with my friends in Logan
8. Go through all my old school things
9. Learn new songs on the guitar
10. Play violin until my fingers hurt
11. Swing on the swings in my backyard
12. Write on my blog (I’m doing that right now!)
13. Play the Wii for as long as I like
14. Take a long bath and paint my toenails
15. -While watching Pride and Prejudice
16. Go on a date with someone who actually likes me
17. Help Angie with her wedding plans
    
18. Turn in my papers so I know where I’m going
19. Have Pirate Night and watch Muppet Treasure Island
20. Go ice skating
21. Make an exotic dinner
22. Go to the Pupusarie with everyone who knows what that is
    
23. Make jewelry or something out of clay
24. Write in my journal
25. Talk with Lexi and listen to Kandra for hours
26. Stay with Alan and Kristin for a while
27. Use my passport to go somewhere awesome
28. Do something helpful or charitable
    
29. Take Jonas bowling
30. Make heart-shaped cookies and decorate them

Of course, after I wrote this I actually accomplished several things:

• Saw Sleeping Beauty the ballet
• Babysat 5 boys under the age of six (Which was a little traumatic. And bloody.)
• Wrote lesson plans for all of Monday
• Created 2 center activities
• Got 28 Valentines ready
• Made a seating chart (During church. Shhh!)
• organized my student teaching binder
• Watched an episode of Psych (One thing off my list!)
  
• Cleaned the kitchen

Accomplishing all of these things was great, but I had about twelve other things I could/should have done. Alas, I am only one person.

On the bright side, I have two 4-day weeks in a row! Huzzah!

In other news, Angie bought a dress! That's one thing off her list!
