Things I did to distract myself from writing my paper today:
- braided my hair
- checked my e-mail… a lot
- penciled things into my 2007 planner
- bought hot chocolate, and then gave it away
- ate spaghetti, which is not something I eat
- got on AIM for the first time in months
- wrote this list out on a piece of paper


I was playing music on my computer - reasonable volume - and walked out of my room to throw something away down the hall. The music was still perfectly clear and audible, down the hall from my closed door. I rethought every personal, dramatic, hysterical crying phone conversation I have had since I have been here.
