Trouble on the motivation front . . .
Not that I really care, but I’m going to care when that paper comes due next week, and I have that final, and then I have our mini German party from the dark place, and then I have a week to think about my Greek final. Or something [...]

Seven things to do before I die:

Too much too late

So I totally should have posted this before you heard it from everyone else, but the new Harry Potter movie was BRILLIANT!!! I loved every minute.

4. The Puritans were opposed to sports and recreation.
