A few weeks ago, I went on a magical journey to a place called Garden City. It's a quaint little metropolis filled with beautiful buildings, and very colorful locals. I stopped in at the bank Blonde works in and did her a solid by opening up a couple (5, perhaps 6?) bank accounts. I also met the only fan of this blog who started reading it before she knew me. I was a little nervous to meet someone that actually went out of their way to read about little old me. All in all tho, I think meeting my first real fan went pretty well. I also had the fortune of getting to see the Tiffany's Necklaces the girls are given at the bank by their patrons. I think Blonde made out like a bandit when she got a SOLID GOLD necklace that proudly said "1 in a million". Now when people see the necklace there will be no question as to Blonde's rank in the world.
Today in one of my classes, that I actually enjoy, we were told about the idea of keeping a time long. I figured it might be fun for me to do. Time logs work like this on a normal day you keep track of what time it is "every time you change behaviors." You then categorize these "behaviors" one of four ways. 1. Urgent and Important (meaning if you don't do it there will be consequences, and it has a time limit) 2. Urgent not important (Time limit but not consequences if not accomplished) 3. Important but not Urgent (consequences, but no time limit 4. Neither important nor urgent (duh). I have decided to keep a time log of today, and hopefully this will become a feature of my blog. I'll do it once a week, on different days, and this way at least I have one post and I won't get in trouble with my 4 (oh yeah 4 now) fans.
7:30 am - wake up and go to the bathroom. Urgent and Important. If I hadn't gone to the bathroom I would have wet the bed, and I had a very strict time limit before I did this.
7:33 am - Lay in bed trying to get back to sleep, I didn't actually have to get up until 8:30, however I couldn't stop thinking about the test I had that morning. - Urgent but not important. (There was a time limit on going back to sleep, however it wasn't all that important.)
7:35 am - Get out of bed with the intent to study for the test. - Urgent and Important
7:40 am- Realize I recorded last nights episode of Chelsea Lately. Important, but not urgent.
7:41 am - Turn on the TV and watch Chelsea Lately. Urgent and Important. (I need to know what the bitch has to say about Dina Lohan! Clearly study time can wait.)
8:10 am - Study for test. Super Urgent and Super Important (considering I got distracted by Chelsea.)
8:30 am- get ready for school
9:30 am - go to school
9:50 am - Arrive at Eastern and look for a parking spot. Urgent and Important
10:20 am - get to class super late because it takes half-a-fucking-hour to find parking.
10:50 am - class gets out
10:55 am - walking to my other class I note that all the girls at Eastern had indeed planned for another snow fall and not shoved their Ugg boots and leggings to far to the backs of their closets. Urgent and Important (it's Fashion duh, it's always both!)
11:00 am - Take test. Urgent and important. (although I didn't go over my notes much this morning, prior studies assured I was pretty competent. I think I only got 5 wrong)
noon- Depart class/arrive at library. Neither Urgent or Important
12:01 - Check facebook and myspace. Urgent and Important (I have to know what's going on with all my friends at every second!!
12:10 - check Perezhilton.com and Thesuperficial.com. Urgent and Important (I need to keep up with all the celebs I stalk at every second!!!)
12:30 - Read a top something or other on cracked.com Important but not Urgent. (I could have read it at anytime durning the day, but honestly why wait?)
12:35 - get to the end of the cracked article only to be sucked into another, and another, and another... (Neither Urgent or Important)
1:40 - Contemplate going to fmylife.com but decide to write a paper instead. Urgent and Important (it's due at 5:30)
2:15 - Check facebook and myspace again, then pack up for class (urgent and important class starts in 15 minutes... at an off campus site.
2:40 - walk into class late. Neither Urgent or Important
2:45 - Contemplate suicide as a I watch a group presentation about visiting Spain. Urgent and Important (I really do enjoy my life so watching a crappy viral video of the looney toons bull charge with M.I.A. Paper Planes playing is a waste of said life. It was supposed to be an add campaign, not a "show off the stuff you can do with your Mac" campaign.)
3:30 - run out of the classroom as fast as I can. Urgent and Important (did you not read the description above?)
4:00 - arrive at work, as a favor to my boss I came in on my day off to get my review. Urgent and Important (This is a MONETARY review, there is a possible quarter on the line people!!!!)
4:30 - rejoice that I get to keep my job, and I make a dollar more every *four* hours! (important but not urgent)
4:45 - stop at McDonalds for a chicken salad. Notice that when I'm in canton the pre-recorded voice that offers me a fancy coffee is a white woman's voice. In ypsilanti, however, it is that voice of a black man asking me if I want anything of the dollar menu. If I was black, I would certainly be offended.
5:00 - get back to school and sit in my car listening to NPR. Neither Urgent or Important, (but I do love that NPR)
5:45 - Arrive to class 15 minutes late. This is actually planned. My professor is a windbag and every week spends the first 15 minutes on "a thought for the day". I'm pretty sure he goes to the quotable quotes section in readers digest and gets the most jesusy or racist one he can find, and runs with that. Fortunately because of my impeccable timing, I don't have to waste that 15 minutes. Important but not Urgent
5:46 - zone out. Important and Urgent (I don't really want to hear any more about this guys ex wife)
8:00 - get out of class. Urgent and Important. (I would like to take this time to note there was not change in my behavior from 5:46 to 8. I remained zoned out the entire time)
8:02- ran into one of my favorite teachers from last semester. We chatted for a while then she drove me to my car. It took us about 15 minutes to find it, because of all the blow we were doing. (that was a joke, as far as I know Eastern staff does not condone the use of narcotics)
8:45 - Arrive home. Neither Urgent or Important
9:00 - Check Facebook and myspace again. Urgent and Important (sweet jesus has anyone updated their status since earlier?!? I must know!!)
9:20 - Dick around on the internet for a while. Neither Urgent or Important
9:45 - recall the sadness in blonde's eyes that last time she asked me to update. Urgent and Important (I love my friends)
9:50 - start the damn blogging....
What an exciting day, no wonder you guys missed me. I don't know how I accomplish so much.
