Motivation = gone...

Today was a long day of nothing. It's funny how things can change...right when I got here, and had nothing to do, I was so incredibly motivated. And now that I've been here for just over a month, I have never had so LITTLE motivation.

I'm not sleeping well again, and being tired makes me want to do nothing but sleep. I did work out today, but that's about the only worthwhile thing I did. Last night I started missing home a little bit more, and woke up feeling kind of down. So it's just been one of those days, where I haven't done much. I'm currently drinking hot chocolate rather than tea...it's always been comforting. It's all I ever want when I am sick, and it reminds me of home, but in a good way. Of course, I could only find low-fat hot chocolate, so it's kind of watered down, but it'll do.

Instead of going to class today, I hung out with Melisa. We did a little bit of grocery shopping. Melisa wanted a few things, and it turned out that they didn't have either of those things anymore. We did a few laps of the store, though, and it was kind of funny.

My friend whose name I do not know yet texted me when I wasn't in class. She's a really sweet girl, and I told her that I wasn't feeling well, which is kind of true, I guess. Anyway, she said there are lots of birthdays coming up, and lots of reasons to go out, so we'll definitely hang out another time :)

I've thought about my paper a lot, but I haven't actually started writing it :S I know I should, but with three weeks still before it is due, it's kind of hard to be motivated. Normally, I'd have an excuse for not writing it...you know, being overloaded with tons of other work. I have no excuse--I'm just not motivated! But, Melisa and I have made plans to go shopping on Saturday. We're taking a bus to nearby Aberystwyth, which looks to be a little bit bigger than Bangor. I'm trying to bribe myself...maybe I will treat myself to a pastry or something, if I start writing my paper. Starting it is always the hardest part, really. Once I get going, writing it is easy. And then I'll be sending it to Liss to be edited, as always, provided she isn't still overwhelmd by endless piles of homework.
