Hi, My Name is Becka and I'm a Slacker

(I thought I'd start this out with an unusually cheery picture, I feel the exact opposite of that, there's no rainbows in my world right now, or trees. Just cubicle walls and my stinking laptop). So I'm in the middle of writing a final paper, and I'm dragging ass. I want to do so many other things. Namely:

• blog
• hike
• sleep
• do dishes
• finish the stupid vampire book
• make cheesecake
• run a 5k
• make a snowman
• dance
• update my iPod
• watch my current Netflix offer
• pay bills
• drive somewhere more than 4 hours away
• dance more
• eat peaches
• go kayaking
• pluck my eyebrows
• buy socks
• do laundry
• buy underwear
• organize my closet
• make a snow angel

As you can see, there is so much more I could make of this day. Alas, I'm here at school, resigned to finishing this paper before 2 a.m. I will break for food, maybe a run, but not for much fun. Boo. Also, the food I will break for isn't even good, I've officially gotten over microwave burritos. They don't taste like much of anything. I just ate a cheese and bean burrito, but I couldn't taste the cheese. I have cheese at home, but I'm at school. I have a package of Saltines here, I hope I don't ever get over Saltines. I'd really like some Texas Toast, but I don't have anymore. I'll be consuming quite a bit of Mountain Dew in hopes it will keep me concentrating (I'll at least be awake because I'm drinking it fast enough I have to pee every half hour). I'm kind of over Mt. Dew too, I suppose I'll have to move on to something like crack. Eh.

I've been trying to remember brighter days while I'm stuck in my office space. Friday instead of writing I surfed the internet and found this video I really liked. The Daily Show usually manages to get it right, its a little vulgar, in an edited way. But I love it (I figure anyone who can figure out how to incorporate the term "Industrial Strength Douche Bag" into a discussion of terrorism deserves props). I haven't been able to post the actual video because of some HTML script mystery that I can't figure out, so follow this link, it's 3 minutes of your life that will be well spent.

Eh. My 15 minutes of freedom are up. Back to work. Someone should shed tears for me, because I can't, full on apathy has set in.

I almost forgot, I do have some good news. I came up with a temporary title for my paper: Fear and Loathing in Swamps and Muskegs. Also, I currently have 5 pages typed (plus my title page and bibliography) that I have yet to double space. Double spacing is my favorite part, I save it until the end because it makes it doubles the amount of work I've just done (sort of, it makes me happy. Don't judge me.).
