I could have called my manager today to beg them to let me come in and work today. Instead I awoke with thoughts of laying in bed and reading all those shiny new library books I checked out yesterday. Instead I talked to Sarah about seeing Twilight at theaters this weekend, reading UNCG’s Graduate School Bulletion book, read a bit on life coaching, fleshed out more characters with Shiver, researched more articles on librarian science (which is a good thing! More knowledge = more power!), and rotated my closet finally (moved warm weather clothes to the back and winter clothes to the front). I even tortured my cat Chii by clipping the long hair off her backside. She’s got hair three inches long back there, believe me, she needs it. However, thank God for thick sleeves on my robe; otherwise I’d be nursing multiple bites.
So while browsing again I found 50 strategies for making yourself work. The list itself isn’t revolutionary, but it gives some helpful pointers in trying to remain on focus. I particularly like the one about candles since I recently decided I love lit candles in my room.
Overall though, I’m trying to make the best of my freetime till I go to grad school next year. I know that grad school is killer, but I’m banking on the hope that by the time I’m done, I’ll be able to find a non-retail job, the economy will be picking up, and I’ll be finally an adult. Sure, I’ve been paying bills for 4 years now, but I still feel like a kid. Being an adult to me is having my own place, cooking my own meals, and being full responsible for me. Right now I’m still in the bedroom I’ve slept in since I was 9 years old. It’s time to move on.
