Avoidence

As I write this I am avoiding writing two papers, one on Haydn and the other on modern slavery, and a planet project. I started the Winter quarter the beginning of January and have not had time to write anything. Not that I have anything worth writing about if I did have the time. My computer broke down for a couple of weeks and that sucked big time! It's amazing how much we rely on technology for everything we do. I had to do an English assignment that required us to look up different sources and when it came to finding an actual book it was amazing how difficult the process was! A book for heaven sakes! When I did find the book I had to flip through each page to find the answer I was looking for. I kept thinking in my head....gosh, wouldn't it be nice to have that ctrl+F button right about now...you know the one that when you want to find a particular word in a website all you have to do is click those keys and that box pops up to help you find the word? What a lifesaver and a detriment technology has on us all! But I digress...

I prayed I would use my time wisely today and get those papers finished and I have been doing everything but that. At the moment I am watching a horrid Lifetime movie about a women who goes to live with a total stranger's family and they kill her. Sounds good but the acting is almost unbearable! What else can I do to avoid my priorities? I guess I should just, as elderly people say, buckle down and finish it. I know I'll be happier when it's done. I'll let you know if I do, indeed, buckle down.
