I am almost proud of how little I accomplished today. I didn't set an alarm, but my body thought it was a good idea to get up at 10. I read one of my books from the library, so I can return those this week.
I also read for class, but I got ridiculously frustrated. I checked out my sociology textbook from the university library, because I thought it might be helpful for my presentation on the 19th. The questions that we have to answer in our presentation seem very specific, so I thought the book might directly answer those questions.
I have never been more wrong. I've also never hated a textbook more. It's like the authors wanted to seem smart, so they made everything seem more complicated than it is. It's not that the vocab is over my head--that's not it at all. They just took really simple concepts, and explained them in a really wordy, complex way. The sentences are long, run-on sentences that I literally have to read out loud a few times before I understand. I don't enjoy it, and it gave me quite the headache. So...I napped.
After my napped, I did some research for my psych paper that's due at the end of April. I know it's not due for a while, but I'm not sure how motivated I will be to do work after spring break. I might be extra motivated at the thought of coming home...or I might be as lazy as I am now :S
It wasn't a total waste of a day. I got a little bit done. And I was able to talk (albeit briefly) to Amanda, Lissa, John, AND Leslie. I miss so many people, and it's hard because everyone is pretty busy. I am having fun, but I'll admit that I can't wait to come home.
