10:10

i heard freshman year that clocks and watches that you see in tvs commercials and movies are usually set at 10:10 because when people see that it makes them happy. strange, huh? well this really isn't going to be about 10:10, it's more along the lines of time so i felt that the title was semi appropriate.

along with time this is going to be about distractions because they seem to take up a lot of time. i know this firsthand. every day as i'm driving home from school i'm usually thinking about the amount of homework i have and what absolutely needs to be done for the next day. i then guess an approximate amount of time that each is going to take and start with the shortest assignment that absolutely needs to get done. only, i don't start as soon as i get home. instead i sit down, read the comics, and maybe watch a little TV until either 3:30 or 4. then i start on my homework. on somedays though i have to go to work so then all my homework gets pushed off until i get home. so that's distraction number one.

distraction number two; sleep. i love naps and seem to have no problem falling asleep. reading textbooks slash just doing homework in general makes me sleepy. this is an every day occurrence no matter how much sleep i got the night before. i have given up on taking a nap that's under half an hour and whenever i try to i always fail at waking up. i just shut off the alarm, roll over, and back to sleep i go. nowadays my naps are at least an hour.

distraction number three; electronics. more specifically my laptop, cell phone, ipod, and ihome. i think that's really all i need to say here. it's pretty self explanatory.

distraction number four; the internet. and facebook. and strangely, blogging. i never thought that i would enjoy reading these things as much as i do. this one is my fave. i spend far too much time on the internet while i should be doing things like my homework or studying. i do feel very creeper-esque when i'm looking at the blogs of people other than my friends though.
