To Do:

You know how sometimes, you just don't feel like doing anything at all? You just want to sit around, and not think, not read, and just not (wow, I just saw a guy wearing a black and white striped hoodie, and a black beret-type hat with a brim on the front turned sideways...that's incredible) do anything?

Today for me, is not one of those times. In fact, I have tons of things that I need to do--clean my room, catch up on homework for classes (physics, and Russian women...homework and journal entries this weekend for me!), go and visit people's apartments, etc. etc. It's all the things that I don't have to do that I really want to do right now though.

List of things Novel Wants to do instead of School:
-Go camping (technically, I think I could get this called "research" since I'm writing my 490 paper on camping and people's perceptions of it)
-build a huge pile of leaves (and I mean gigantic...at least as tall as I am, and twice that wide), and then take a running leap into it
-play on a playground
-hike the Y
-finish re-reading Harry Potter 6
-Finish reading The Princess Bride
-Bake Cookies
-Visit an old-folks home
-Do insane-looking interpretive dances with my siblings to the classical music we play on Sunday that's supposed to be reverent
-Take some pictures
-Make some soup
-Build a Tree-House (seriously, I've been trying to figure out the logistics of this one for about 2.5 years now)
-Fly A Kite (preferably, my dad's red-baron kite)
-Snuggle in front of a fire
-Roast marshmallows (again)
-Do the Crossword Puzzle
-Play Basketball with my dogs

Yeah...I'm just not feeling school right now. Who would with all the other great things there are to do in the world? Right now, I just feel like being done with school, and getting on with real life. Guess it's about time that I graduate or something...and time I get back to doing that school work.
