Magnetic Poet



In what might wind up being the most productivity-destroying procrastination-enhancing gift ever, my Mumsie gave me a Magnetic Poetry Calendar for Christmas.

It likely wouldn't be such a problem-maker (a welcome one, don't get me wrong) if the calendar weren't GOD in our house. It exists in several forms in order for me to stay on top of the busy-ness--Mom's master calendar downstairs, my little lit-nerd assembly up here, a white board that keeps track of my weekly activities (with room for doodles in the 12 colors of white board markers I've amassed) and of course, the Google Calendar online, which is MY master calendar...which sends my phone text messages ten minutes before any event happens, so I'm always on top of things.

It's a complicated life I lead.

In other christmas news, the gifts were good (lots of books!), the break was eventful (ice skating! movie-thons! Slumdog Millionaire!) and I got to see a lot of people. I missed a few really important ones, but almost everyone was covered. I worked on homework incrementally (though I left most of it for this weekend) and slept a lot.

And I honestly feel like I need another two weeks in order to really have a BREAK. But I'm also glad to be headed back to school tomorrow...I need a new routine.
