The Expected • 08.18.11
It’s mid-August, which means I should be frantically working on my personal statement and I’ve been trying to start on it since the beginning of the month. However, because I made good effort in everything I do, I wrote down “Work on Essay” on my planner for yesterday.
Problem with planning is, life gets in the way and I had more important things to do. Things I did between yesterday and today instead of my essay:
- Wash three loads of laundry. You can’t possibly expect me to write my personal statement in dirty underwear, can you?
- Cook breakfast and lunch. I might be the queen of take-outs, but cooking is my writing muse, so this had to be done!
- Vacuum the entire condo. Writing in a filthy environment is just so wrong!
- Did the dishes. It’s summer, if I leave it alone too long it might stink up the place.
- Played hours worth of Tiny Tower. It’s a free game, I can’t not take advantage of the “free” part.
- Scrubbed both toilets. Okay, I might be reaching for something to do here at this point.
