Today is the day for firm decisions! Perhaps...

Yesterday I said I was working on my productivity level. Well, today I acted upon that. I did my morning ritual of eating, cleaning, and grooming. I boarded the bus downtown, hit the library, and headed to my last stop of the day before going home, the grocery store. Kroger on the west side to be exact. I had to get all of the groceries I needed, check out, and report back to the bus stop within thirty minutes or else, I would be obligated to wait thirty minutes for the next one coming. This was one of the most difficult tasks I've ever done! The $35 worth of groceries I purchased were stuffed in the two recyclable grocery bags I try to remember to take with me shopping and my book bag. Yet in still, they were so heavy three hours later, my shoulders and back are still throbbing.

My experience has greatly increased my will to find a job, make some money, and buy a car so I won't have to do this on a regular basis. My hat's off to those of you who use public transportation as a means more than this priviledged college student who only rides from her apartment to campus.

"Work fascinates me" I can look at it for hours!

This. Right. Here. Is. MY. SWAG! There are many days when I get up, eat breakfast, and perform my daily grooming rituals and then think I'm going to put in a full 8 hours of work. That could include reading, writing, research or completing tedious, yet necessary French skills. But instead of immediately catching the bus to head to my graduate student carrel on the 9th floor of Herman B. Wells Library, by the time I'm finished with my daily routine, I'm "tired." Not that I've done anything particularly tiring, cause it's something I do everyday, but I've gotten out of my productivity mode because it took me 15 minutes to brush my teeth and wash my face instead of 10 and I've missed the bus so now I have to wait 30 mins until the next one comes.

This happens way too often and I vow that I will change my ways as I continue to do work this summer and carry on into the upcoming semester.
