Simply Serendipitous

As I sit here with a giant cup of coffee and a daunting stack of readings, I can only come to one conclusion: it’s time to get down to business.  School’s back in session and there’s no more escaping it.  I’ve been trying to pretend that I wasn’t going to have to do work this soon, but here it is, staring me in the face.  No matter how many times I reorganize the pile, make to-do lists, make sure my planner is in order, tidy up my apartment, consider my next baking project, etc., the fact remains: it’s time to do my school work.  The longer I put it off, the bigger the stack is going to get, the larger my cup of coffee will need to be and the worse I’ll feel about how much work I already have.  But, really.  It’s only Labor Day and my college clock just isn’t used to being productive yet.

So instead I think I’ll print out some more of my readings and continue to not do them.  I think my apartment could use another round of tidying, and it might even be laundry time.  In fact, tonight seems like the perfect night for a dinner party, so I’d better start on the rolls now and give them time to rise.  And while I’m at it, I could even try the chocolate souffle that I’ve been dying to make.  Or maybe chocolate truffles would be better?

I may be back in school and starting classes, but, honestly, my brain is just not ready for this yet.  I’m still having entirely too much fun and can’t even think of trying to manage my time yet.  The time between when everyone gets on campus until classes pick up (a.k.a. freshman orientation) is one of the most fun times all semester, regardless of your year.  So I’ll just ease myself into the whole ‘productivity’ thing…fair enough?  And once I manage that, I promise to come back and write a real blog entry about what I’m actually doing with my life, and hopefully I’ll have something on that topic to write about.
