Day 82 - March 23, 2010

"It doesn't matter if you're an amateur or a pro poet. Nobody knows until they try it...." - Sister Slam and the Poetic Motormouth Road Trip by Linda Oatman High

How will I know what I can do and can't do, what I do and don't like, if I never try anything new? Today I'll try a new thing. And next week another new thing. And every week for a year. Because the time is always TNS time!

TNS is apparently code for "Try New Stuff" time. What did I do today that was new? Stayed up until 5:30am. I never do that. Went to CCF, which isn't new, but I probably haven't gone but once this semester. Today I had lunch with a possible replacement for Goolsby. That was new; I don't do that every day. Not that I have the opportunity to, but still. She was really awesome. I love her and I want her to be my art teacher. But anyway.

Today someone asked, "Are you feeling really Delta Pi today or something? Because you've got a lot of turquoise on." My response was, "I feel really Delta Pi every day!" It's true, I do. :)

I was totally on schedule until a few hours ago. I wrote down everything I was doing from my last class until 10:30. I should have kept writing, because after that is when I stopped being productive. I went from class to dinner to doing the Speak Out to preparing for my study session to the SAA meeting to my Foundations meeting to my study session to the Delta Pi meeting. Then I lost it. No more productivity. Well. I did my Calculus and put pictures on the hard drive for Alex. But that was all. It's 1am and I still have a paper to write. I don't really understand what's going on with my crazy sleeping schedule lately. I do understand that I'm really really tired at the moment. I would love to take a nap before I write my paper, but I'm worried that I won't wake up. (Not that I'll die, just that I'll sleep until the morning, when the paper is due.)

Oh, I just want to mention today that I love my sisters and brothers. They are all wonderful.

My friends are, too. :)

I'm going to try a new thing. A nap at 1am. Wish me luck!
