That is exactly what I am doing right now...procrastinating. I am in the middle of a seven day take-home examination and sometimes it is really difficult to connect the mind with the fingers to type my thoughts and answers onto the computer. At least I don't have to feel bad about being indoors right now. It's raining and the sky has been continuously rolling with thunder for the past half hour. I managed to bike to the store to stock up on toilet paper and make it back in time before it rained down big, thick drops. Whoa! Now it is hailing...big fat hail balls, some the size of chocolate chips. Oh! And there was some lightning! I wonder if it is a good idea that my computer is on? I don't want it to get fried...or is that not possible? If it does go out, how can I write my paper?! Oh dear. And so much for that summer picnic in the park this afternoon.
Well, I better get back to my paper. I have to get used to the idea that the next two weeks will be a pure hell and my mind better focus, because I intend to get some decent grades. I can't wait for that feeling of relief when you know all your exams are done...and then, by that time, my whole family will be here! Go Dawgs!
