Too much energy--not enough to do.

I still feel terribly unproductive. I just don't feel like doing anything.

I woke up BEFORE my alarm went off this morning, surprisingly cheerful. Drove to work, worked until 9. Working at Macy's makes it so hard to not spend money. I keep seeing stuff that I want, and knowing that it's cheap, but trying to tell myself no. I don't NEED anything.

I came home to an empty house. Now that tax season has begun, Mom will be working all the time. It's kind of depressing. Seriously. I had no idea what to do with my time, and it was boring because I had no one to talk to. I spent some time looking at grad school stuff, edited my sister's paper, watched another episode of Jersey Shore (the last one--look, it only took me two days to catch up). What will I do without trash tv to make me feel better about myself? Gah, I guess I'll have to re-watch them.

I had a skype date with Melisa, which was wonderful. I also chatted with Amanda for a little while. But mostly I was bored, and FULL of energy. I did not want to sit still, at all. Staring at my computer for too long gives me a headache, but anything productive I could do is on my computer. I need a project or something, something that involves moving. I was going to run this morning, but the weather (6 degrees, feels like negative 7) and a dead ipod scared me away from that. No excuses tomorrow--I charged my ipod, did some laundry. I'm prepared to bundle up, but I need to stay motivated. It's too hard to bribe myself. Luckily, I'm taking a half-marathon course next semester. It's a psych class focusing on motivation, and I'm SO EXCITED. I got new running shoes (they are coming in the mail, and I can flat-out guarantee that I'm going for a run when they get here) and I bought some more running clothes. I am ridiculously excited!!

Although I'd love to blog more (we all know I love to talk), I have to go relax and get ready for bed. Tomorrow is the LAST day that I have to get up at 3:45 am! At least, til this summer--they asked me if I would like some hours this summer too, and of course I said yes. I'll (hopefully) be preparing for grad school, but that doesn't start until the fall so I will be around this summer, and I'll be grateful for whatever money I can make!
