Distractions

do you think it's bad that i actually thought about looking up motivation on dictionary.com just as a way to do something besides what i'm supposed to be doing?

now that i said that and put it out in the universe, i mine as well just do it.

motivation: n 1: the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior

so if i lack motivation, does that mean i have a psychological problem? or i just haven't found the "purpose or direction" of my behavior?

hmm. so the purpose behind two take-home stat finals, a psych final, final grades for 70 students, and another draft of a paper for publication? Hmm. Not quite sure on that.

Aren't you guys so sick of reading about me being in school? I'm sick of writing about it. I wish my life was more interesting!

Here's some other things about today:

my dog loves to lay by our gas fireplace. it's so cute. he stays there until he starts panting and then wants to go out in the snow for awhile. today, i joined him and fell asleep on my freshly vacuumed floor right by the flames.

i ate at least 3 more little dove dark chocolates today. i received many new messages, including "be mischievous" or something like that.

i didn't make coffee today...i'm testing to see whether i'm addicted yet.

i started to write another thing, but it was about school, so i decided to stop. this section is supposed to be about all the other interesting things in my life.

okay, one more. i realized that DVR is more amazing than i previously recognized. i can now tape work-outs from fitTV and do them whenever i want. i have a new tv trainer. his name is gilad and he talks like arnold schwarzenegger*. i like to imitate him to keep myself entertained. he likes to say things like "Thank you for trusting your body with me! Together we will make a difference!" It is inspiring and creepy at the same time.


*i had to look up how to spell his name so don't be impressed.
