Invasion of the horseback riders!

The girls come tomorrow to hang out for a week, and not a moment too soon as Mike started his new job and is in no mood to be pestered/harassed/nagged by me. Which basically means we won't talk as that is what I'm good at. :)

I had all great intentions of coming to school today to get a bunch of work done on my thesis before they got here. Let me walk you through my day:

Wake up on the couch at 10:30. This is bad because if I'm not awake before 9, chances are today is a wash. Also, my bed is super uncomfortable, so sometimes I sleep on the couch.

Do my patented Soup Can Arm Workout (tm). Don't judge- my arms look less like sausage rolls.

Make a veggie burger and put on as many perishable ingredients as possible in an attempt to clean the fridge.

Listen to the radio. Take a shower.

It is now 12:30 and I'm not at school. Contemplate not going to school because I owe the library money. Read a book about Queen Isabella which has absolutely nothing to do with my thesis but she's really interesting (I will regale you all with facts when I come home until you buy me chicken wings to shut me up).

Talk myself into going to school. 40 minute busride where I stare at the two fat chihuahuas sitting on their owners lap. One growls at me when I walked by. It knew I wanted to pet it..

Arrive at school, take out money from the ATM to bribe the library into allowing me to take out books. You all know I'm going to library school, right?

Go to the masters room where its a bazillion degrees. Go up to the library instead. Proceed to use the internet for two hours.

Have a moment of brilliance (about 45 mins) where I crack a book and write 2 single spaced pages of my thesis (it has to be about 50ish). I am well on my way!

Congratulate self by playing on the internet until about 5:30.

Pay library my fines and take out a load of books I won't read at home.

Go to the cafe and buy a chocolate croissant and tea for my efforts. Eat in the masters room while playing on the internet some more.

It's now 8. I got here at 2:30. I have done 45 minutes worth of real work. The upside is if I continue at this pace, it will take me 25 days to write my thesis.
