In Which I Screw Myself Over Again

Yes, I am procrastinating on my paper(s). Well, I'm almost done with this one essay response test for Environmental Issues and Ethics. It's easy, but because of that, I just feel like I'm writing really badly, so it's hard for me to get through it.

Man, but I don't want to talk about my homework anymore! What does that leave me with?

...

I'm looking over at my basket of Ukrainian eggs right now. I'm so proud of them, and I love to examine each one like a jewel. Sometimes it seems like I didn't even make them--as if I put down the wax, but the egg gained a life of its own.

There are so many other crafts I want to do. I am hoping to take Ceramics sometime at school. I think I can fit it in--I probably have about 3 credits free. Total. Haha. I also want to do stained glass. Actually, I once got to make a stained glass window in Vacation Bible School or something, and it was awesome.

When I think of the things I want to do in my life, I don't really think of milestones or accomplishments, things to check off a list and be done with. Rather, I think of skills I want to learn and sustain. They're mostly skills related to art, music, or athletics, such as learning to play guitar or taking martial arts classes. When I think of my life, I can only think of all the things I want to do.

And right now, all I am able to do is school work...and lose will power.

You're so neat. I have no doubt that you will accomplish anything you try. Now, if you only had unlimited time . . .
