WHY!?

Why is it that the moment you’re actually swamped with work that you find it incredibly difficult to focus on said work?  My response to being in full-panic/stress mode is to think of many other, obviously more important things to do.  For instance:

1.        Discuss summer plans with Mom.  And this makes sense why?

2.       Start packing. 

3.       Check Facebook at least once every ten minutes.  At least.  Also, decided it’s definitely time to compile my favorite quotes and put them on FB.

4.       Convince Dad to show my grandparents how to Skype, and then Skype with me.  I literally have no time to Skype, but this is what my mind tells me I should be doing.

5.       Clean.  (Although this could actually be useful, as it could lead to be happily finding papers I need to study for my finals).

6.       Blog.  Granted, I enjoy blogging, but apparently now is the best time, when I had considerably more “free” time about three weeks ago.

7.       Eat.  A lot.  Especially jelly beans and Smarties.

8.       I suddenly feel compelled to take long, warm showers.

9.       Nap.  Every day.  At least once.  (Although this is primarily due to my complete conversion into a night person)

10.   Fly to California for a day.  Yes, it’s true.  We’re flying out Wednesday, playing a match Thursday, and depending on the outcome, we’ll either stay for Friday or take a redeye back Thursday.  Yippee.
