Motivation Fail...

Well, this was inevitable, right? My complete lack of motivation once the work came to get it done... Personally, I think that giving someone a semester of their own to work on a thesis and then shoving them back into courses, where they have to read assigned books and write about things they don't necessarily want to write about is a very cruel joke. At first the prospect of a class schedule and developing a rigid schedule for myself was exciting. And I realize that I'm saying at first and I've only completed half of a week of the semester, but the schedule of work I wrote out in my planner for the week completely failed. I can partially blame my class fiasco of Wednesday, but we all know that I'm digging for an excuse. Well, let's hope I can buckle down next week, because with Mandy's wedding coming and my two conferences, I NEED discipline now more than ever...

Moving on...I'm dying for fall to arrive. I know that I blabbed on and on about my love for autumn in a previous blog, but now that it's almost September I'm completely ready. There are a few brownish/yellowish leaves in trees and on the ground, but I'm still encountering ninety degree days. And pumpkins....geeze I want pumpkin everything right now. Pumpkin beer, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin fudge, pumpkin decorations, pumpkin candles (I keep going to Bath and Body Works hoping they have their candles on sale, but they don't!). I want to start wearing my cardigans. I broke out my moccasins the other day so that was nice. I want to need a jacket. Also, once it starts getting cooler I won't feel bad about days like today, in which I don't plan on putting real clothes on at all. AND my air conditioner will stop running. Well, I suppose I could turn it off now, but that would be awful.

Well, time to get this show on the road I suppose. I've been getting up surprisingly early the past few weeks, so it's not quite noon and I've already had couch time, made and ate pancakes, took Wheezer for a walk, cleaned my kitchen, have a load of laundry in the washer, and am finishing my online procrastination. I foresee a long day of reading ahead of me.
