Facebook and Exams

I've spent most of the last few days at home.  By 8:45 AM Monday I'd gotten gas and taken Sam's laundry (I'm a good sister and he couldn't before the "deadline" had passed) and made myself a big cup of coffee.  At 9AM my big exam opened.  The one I didn't know what it was going to be like... the one that is in my critical path for me to graduate in December.  Which is in my path of getting the job I want which is in the path of me having an income.  All of those are important. 

So I wrote one essay on Monday.  I wrote another essay on Tuesday.  Unfortunately I had two days left (before I leave town and start editing on the plane) to use the Internet to find all my sources and write my papers.  Which means I squandered half the day away Wednesday on things like getting a new shower head (needed to be done, the wall was getting more water than we were) and on buying bubble wrap for a package I've needed to mail since last June. 

Last night I remembered my last assignment for my class tonight.  Join Facebook.  Oh yes, to join Facebook... and presumably form an opinion on it.  Which means I had to use it.  Which means I got sucked in... which means now, in addition to the Google Reader, the MySpace, the NetFlix, the trip to Budapest, the trip to Florida, and just life I have another distraction.  An assigned distraction.  Not helpful. 

In other news I'm glad I don't procrastinate... or rather I don't when I'm already losing a third of my exam time to go to Florida for the weekend.  Granddaddy's getting married and (almost) all the cousins will be there.  Except David I think... and David's my favorite, or at least the only one that I think might be reading this. 

Hi David!  We'll miss you!
