Standing still
I know it's cold outside. I know it's chill-you-to-the-bone windy, too, and yet...when you've been sitting inside by the window all day studying for exams, and you watch it go from day to night, and you've still got more to study, you can really feel how much that day has been wasted on necessary but unpleasant pursuits. I don't know what I would've been doing if I didn't have to study – I'd probably make a useless waste of my time anyway – but it would be nowhere near as depressing as doing this. Not that I'm depressed, of course, but it
would be nice to get more into the holiday cheeriness of things sooner rather than later. Blah. I hope that in my lifetime, a minimum number of days is wasted on things I don't want to be doing in the first place. How likely that'll be once I take into account (1) starting a new job next fall, (2) life, and (3) my own proclivity for wasting time on my own even
without necessary things to do is open to interpretation. Wish me luck.
My unsolicited advice for today: don't let tomorrow be a waste, people. :)
