Monday, April 20, 2009 @ 12:09 am Cleaning my apartment has become such a gargantuan task that not even a whole weekend was enough to square everything away. I shit you not: I have been putting this off for like a month. Alright, that makes me sound like a giant slob, and I promise to any potential suitors that I am normally not. Well, not anymore. (Nothing really compares to that kiwi incident sophomore year in undergrad, does it Z?) But lately--and by lately, I mean in the last year or so--I've become pretty anal about cleaning. But hey, sometimes life gets in the way, and when your home becomes pretty much a place to sleep when you're not in class/in lab/out illegally drinking by a bonfire at the beach, then keeping it clean goes by the wayside a little. I did manage to get a lot done, though, I swear. I haven't seen this much floor in months, and I actually managed to get most of my laundry done before running out of quarters. And not only did I wash everything (bedsheets included!), I also folded everything and even ironed out my shirts. (And let me tell you--ironing is a bitch!) I also put everything away in their proper places (rather than in a pile by my bed) and I got started on the kitchen (in which I have not cooked in nearly a month). So all in all, I'm making good progress. By the end of the week, I should have a presentable place again... I'm even planning to break out the vacuum eventually! Then when next week rolls around (Week of Hell #9389583), I won't have any excuse to not do all my work. The goal here is to have my apartment ready for the end of the semester... I think I want to throw a party to celebrate the end of my first year of graduate school. Alright, that's what I'm going to call it, but really it's just a thinly-veiled excuse to get Nick in my apartment with a bunch of alcohol, haha. Since I tend to get really bored of doing any one task for long periods of time, I even got myself to get ahead on my school work. Normally, by this time, I would just be beginning to read the stuff assigned for my class tomorrow... but I got that done. Reading review articles on the molecular pathology of Alzheimer's disease? Check, bitches. And I discovered a great way to get through those very dense papers, too! Today was an absolutely beautiful day: sunny, warm, gentle breeze blowing... too beautiful to spend it all cooped up indoors. So what I did was I broke out some beer (alright, a whole six-pack) and sat on my balcony while reading the articles. And you know what? It was great. I got buzzed fairly quickly because I haven't had time to do the groceries and thus haven't eaten all day, save for a couple slices of stale bread. (Breakfast/lunch/dinner of champions!) Plus, I understood everything I read, so I found that balance between being comfortably buzzed and still being able comprehend everything. It made the paper-reading a lot more manageable. Also got a ton of grading done. It's that time of the semester when there are all sorts of assignments for my micro students, which of course means there's a crapload of stuff to grade. A giant checkmark for that shit, too! There was just an insane amount of productivity this weekend, and I don't know where it came from. Maybe I was still hopped up on adrenaline from all the work before. I hope this next week doesn't kill my productivity with its lack of stuff due. I'll just have to keep busy, I guess. Plenty to do. Alright. I'm going to bed. I think I want to wake up a little early tomorrow to get some more cleaning done and then I'll go off to university for a very long Monday. Monday means class with Nick. I'm looking forward to it. Holy fuck, this entry was really long and boring. A thousand apologies if you made it this far! Good fucking night! P.S. Look what I found on Facebook: 1 Comments. I think I just auto-read most of your entry. :S What is this "kiwi incident" of which you speak? » randomjunk on 2009-04-20 07:00:19
