Procrastinating for procrastination's sake

I've a philosophy paper due on Monday and as usual, I will be doing it the day before it is due, i.e. Sunday. Yes, I actually do use "i.e." a lot, deal with it. I've managed to actually think about the topic a little today, but my day was far too busy for anything more strenuous than that. Now that was some sarcasm. What did Jessica do today?

Jessica woke up at 7am, to go see a parade with Callie in downtown Raleigh. Unfortunately, Callie woke up feeling terrible - Jessica felt really bad for Callie, and Jessica is sure Callie felt much, much worse. So Callie went back to sleep and Jessica put on some warm socks and set about debugging her computer. For some reason, Spybot and Symantec will periodically become incompatible with each other, and the end result is that Symantec Anti Virus decides it can't scan the computer. This results in Jessica having to crawl under her desk to get to the back of her computer, which is under her bed, looking like a complete fool while doing so, just to unplug the ethernet cable. Once Jessica accomplished that, she uninstalled symantec, and then reinstalled symantec, and then crawled back under her desk (again looking like a complete fool) to reestablish her internet connection. And now symantec and spybot are being perfectly amicable to each other. After that, Jessica updated symantec, started a full system scan, and then went back to sleep.

Waking up several hours later, Jessica reheated her coffee from the day prior and proceeded to check her mail and acquaint herself with what was going on in the world. Once that was accomplished, Callie awoke and felt slightly better, though still pretty bad. So Jessica and Callie watched some mindless TV and surfed the web for a while. Jessica managed to throw together a new look for her blog - she decided that she wanted a template that had something to do with Thanksgiving. Several hours later, Callie, being the completely awesome and kindest roommate in the world, took Jessica to Crabtree mall. Jessica needed to purchase a few things and with Callie's help, succeeded. Jessica normally abhors shopping and ranks it on the list of other cruel and unusual punishments right between studying for exams and listening to her own singing. However, today was quite fun.

And then it was on to food lion for some groceries, and then back to the room to do very little. After a dinner at the dining hall, Callie and Jessica returned to their room and proceeded to carry out the day in much the same fashion as they had began it. And then Jessica cracked open her philosphy book for about half and hour, but became distracted by an interesting show on TLC. And then Jessica went back to surfing the web and taking personality quizzes. In addition to being mostly like Belle and Lady, Jessica's mind is apparently 47% female and 53% male. Why? Because Jessica likes to be logical, a trait not often associated with the feminine sex. But pish posh, those quizzes are meaningless divertions anyway, no point in taking them seriously. After that, Jessica spent some quality time with her cell phone. After that, she was considerably happy and decided to devote that happy energy to this blog.

And now, here she sits, typing away and becoming increasingly more weirded out by her sustained use of the third person to refer to herself. She should stop that, then. Yes, I should. Yes, she should. Stop that. So, that was my day in a nut shell. I hope it entertained you as much as it did me, though given the odds I'd have to say probably not. Sigh. But I have good news! I didn't save 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico, but I will be at home in homely lovely Newport in almost exactly 72 hours! Pretty exciting, eh? I think so. So with that happy thought, I shall retire for the night. Pleasant dreams!

Callie really enjoyed reading this blog post. It made her feel a little better and forget about her sickness for a little while. Also, Callie agrees that Jessica does look like a complete fool when she crawls under her desk to get to the back of her computer. Callie also thinks that Jessica will do very well on her philosophy paper. :)

Jessica is glad that Callie felt a little better. Jessica also thinks that Callie likes seeing Jessica's ass sticking out when Jessica crawls under her desk. And speaking of asses, Jessica is going to kick ass on her philosophy paper. ;-)
