Vacation this year?

This is where I want to go.

And it's funny, because normally someone would want to go somewhere like this for spring break:

but me? I already live in California, where the weather is beautiful. Specifically, I live in the Bay Area, and the weather is always mild. I never get a snowy winter or a boiling hot summer. Plus, up in Washington I would enjoy much needed deep conversation. AND no one here has the same spring break as me. I just want to get away. Truth is, I probably (most likely) won't go anywhere. I will stay here:

And it would be foolish for me to buy a ticket to WA, 

when my heart is on Keesler AFB Base in MS:

I miss Charlie. I hope he's enjoying Miss'ippi.

Verb

This is the truth.

Winding Down

I finally got one assignment completed and turned in, but I still need to do the bio exam and finish my readings for Fascism and Liberalism. The assignment I turned in was an imaginary clinical application regarding a fictional 26 year old woman and I had to correctly diagnose her with an STD. Lymphogranuloma Venereum.

This is what I WANT to complete tomorrow before work at 11am:

• Ask Kaitlyn any questions regarding bio
• Do the exam
• Shampoo and condition my hair. Really.
• Go to the library and pick up any book(s) regarding Fascism with either Hitler or Mussolini (easy reads, of course... I procrastinated too much to read novels) AND books on Liberalism
• Find articles that relate to my research

This is what I have done every night since I can even remember. Make lists. When I was younger I'd make lists of people who I should pray for, early morning routines, and cramming homework in a timely matter (I still do). Truth is that half that time -well, probably more like 75% of the time- I do not even glance at the lists after I create them. It does take the strain from my brain and I'm sure I sleep talk less when I exercise my list making skills. But laziness usually strikes me by the time I wake up and the last thing I want to do is follow a stupid list.

What I'm supposed to be doing VS. What I'm actually doing

What I should be doing: 

• Writing my research comparing the two ideologies Fascism vs. Liberalism
• Studying for tomorrow's Bio exam that is due online at noon
• Trying to figure out how to pay for this semester of college

What I'm currently doing:

• Working, but no one is in the store and that's no excuse
• Listening to Pandora
• Procrastinating, even though I know I shouldn't

I need to pass these 17 units, but I feel kind of discouraged. For one, the degree is just Liberal Studies. Two, it is costing a buttload. And three, I miss the heck out of Charlie. I want him home. Nobody told me how difficult it was going to be when he joined the Air Force.
