Ever sit with a book full of sentences that are so dull that they lose all meaning to you?

*dying here*

I knew it would take me some time and I´m still not there, not quite up to my old reading speed, not ready to sit at school and study and not grown up enough to start doing the dull part of my self-picked curriculum, but I´m studying! A whole pot of warm tea and a f**king brilliant collection of articles on aid regimes in front of me, and only a short derail into lj. Student life might just be good after all.

If so, you can join me. I have this feeling of accomplishment going today, which of course makes me feel like I don't have to do anything else. The sad thing is that it's based on almost nothing: I washed some clothes, paid my bills and picked up a package at the post office before going to the first lecture of the year. Then, I bought my curriculum and read one chapter. This is not nearly all I was supposed to do today and yet I feel like taking the rest of the day off and can't really seem to muster the energy to read chapter two in The Origins of the First World War. It could of course be that it's because I don't really want to read that book...I've never really been a fan of the first, second or cold war (she said, after signing up for the class), but I'm going to blame the fact that I actually slept 8 hours for once. I feel so rested and accomplished and not at all stressed out that I can't do anything. Does that seem right to you?

Oh, and if anybody is at Blindern now, have coffee with me? I have my cell phone on me at all times and will run from the study hall for some company!

I realize that I might not come off as the type of person who loves lists. I'm messy, I like skipping class, I generally lose stuff, and I have a tendency to stay up way to late *stares guiltily at the time.* What I am not, however, is disorganized. That is why I like having lists. I finally decided to add to my organizer, my spare organizer at aj_stalin's house, my lists of menus and foods I can eat, my packing lists for trips and larps and my general half-year-plans; the great-all-encompassing-reading-list! Now, I know exactly what I am to read every day for the rest of the semester. And, suddenly, everything becomes clear. I read a little more than 100 pages a day, and I still feel up to doing other stuff, like spending 2.5hrs cleaning the apartment so I feel like that's in order too. Eivind scrubbed the bathroom, I scrubbed the kitchen and we washed all the floors and cleaned the living room. We are so good! And as well as getting things done, I feel like I know what's going on with the studying and everything. I should so have done this before now!
